Oracle releases new version of Exalogic cloud software

BANGALORE, INDIA: Software company Oracle announced the release of the new version of its Exalogic Elastic Cloud software.

Exalogic is the fastest growing Oracle engineered system with three times year-over-year sales bookings based on the last two quarters of fiscal year 2012, says a release.

The new Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software.2.0 eliminates application and middleware deployment risk with one-click automated deployment of complex, multi-tier business applications. It provides ten times performance gains for Oracle and Java-based

applications.

Built on open, industry standard technologies, Oracle Exalogic supports virtualization of mission-critical business applications with near native performance vs. physical servers through Oracle VM integration, adds the release.

It provides a communication (I/O) fabric, Oracle Exabus, which is the foundation of Oracle Exalogic and ties all Oracle Exalogic system components together.

The new software enables elasticity at the application level through integrated application-to-disk management with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c.

It also supports consolidation of multiple applications on the same system as a private cloud, while eliminating security risks through complete application isolation.

It integrates Oracle Traffic Director, a built-in application delivery controller and is optimized to run the standards-based Oracle Fusion Middleware product portfolio, including WebLogic Server, Coherence, SOA Suite and Tuxedo products.

Oracle Tuxedo ART 12c is optimized on Exalogic to help customers to rehost IBM CICS, IMS, and batch applications.

Exalogic natively leverages Oracle Exadata Database Machine and integrates with Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters.
