Oracle Server X6-2 is designed to be the most secure and reliable two-socket x86 server available in the market today. It is ideal for running Oracle Database in deployments using SAN/NAS, and for delivering infrastructure as a service (IaaS) in cloud and virtualized environments that require an optimal balance between core density, memory footprint, and I/O bandwidth.

Product Overview

Oracle Server X6-2 is powered by two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 product family CPUs, and has 24 memory slots. With up to 22 cores per socket, this server supports the highest performing Intel Xeon processor and delivers extreme compute density in a compact 1U enclosure. With more than 20 percent increase in processing power versus the previous generation, Oracle Server X6-2 provides the optimal balance of cores, memory, and I/O throughput, making it the highest performing server in its class for enterprise applications.

Built for the demands of enterprise and virtualization workloads, this server offers four PCIe 3.0 expansion slots (two 16-lane and two 8-lane slots). The four embedded 10GBase-T ports free up PCIe slots for additional network and storage connectivity. Each Oracle Server X6-2 includes a SAS-3 (12 Gb/sec) RAID controller (in one of the 8-lane PCIe slots) and includes eight small form factor drive bays. The server can be configured with up to 9.6 TB of hard disk drive (HDD) capacity or up to 3.2 TB of conventional solid state drive (SSD) flash capacity. Four of these drive bays can accommodate NVMExpress SSDs, each with a capacity of 3.2 TB of low-latency, high bandwidth flash.

With support for up to 12.8 TB of high-bandwidth NVM Express (NVMe) flash drives, Oracle Database can be accelerated using Database Smart Flash Cache, a feature of Oracle Database. Each server comes with built-in, proactive fault detection, and advanced diagnostics, along with firmware that is already optimized for Oracle operating systems and Oracle platform software, to deliver extreme reliability for enterprise applications. With a compute capacity of up to 1,760 cores and 30 TB of memory in a single rack, this compact 1U server is an ideal building block for standing up density efficient compute infrastructure without compromising reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).

Designed to run Oracle Database

Designed as an optimal server for running Oracle Database with existing SAN/NAS storage solutions, customers can reap the benefits of Oracle's investments in engineering Oracle Server X6-2 with Oracle's operating systems and database. Oracle Server X6-2 systems can be combined with Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) to enable high availability and scalability. In order to achieve accelerated performance for Oracle Database, Oracle Server X6-2 uses hot-pluggable, high bandwidth flash that is engineered to work together with Oracle's Database Smart Flash Cache. Using Oracle's unique NVM Express design, Oracle Server X6-2 supports up to four small form factor NVMe drives for a total capacity of 12.8 TB.

With 106 GB/sec of bidirectional I/O bandwidth, combined with the high core and memory density, Oracle Server X6-2 is an ideal server for standing up enterprise applications in a virtual environment. With a standard, efficient power profile, Oracle Server X6-2 can be deployed easily into existing data centers as the building block of a private cloud or IaaS implementation.

As the industry leader for building secure software and systems, Oracle believes that security should be built in, not bolted on. In order to build x86 servers with end-to-end security, Oracle owns 100 percent of the design and controls 100 percent of the supply chain and firmware source code. Oracle's x86 servers enable only secure protocols out of the box to prevent unauthorized access at point of install. For even greater security, customers running Oracle Ksplice on Oracle's x86 servers can benefit greatly from zero downtime patching of the Oracle Linux kernel.
