“We’re launching the Oracle Exastack
program this summer at a partner kick-
off event. In addition, Oracle will show-
case Oracle Exastack Optimized ISVs at
Oracle Open World. ISV interest in Oracle
Exastack is extremely high,” says O’Brien.
“The value proposition to the ISV is com-

Single-threaded applications execute
instructions in a serial fashion, while
multithreaded cores process numerous
threads of a single process in parallel.
Although most of the Oracle stack per-
forms extremely well on the previous-
generation T3 processors, there are times
when the higher speed of single-thread
performance is required. With the new

data grid storage. This new
capability provides access
to data, no matter the storage medium used. In addition, it offers more flexibility

will have particular appeal
for customers who need
extremely high data capacity
and low-latency data access,
particularly those in online
retailing or financial services.
In addition, Elastic Data has
the potential for smaller,
more manageable deployments and for significantly
increased capacity.
