Oracle Exalogic

In computing, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud is a processing environment marketed by Oracle Corporation. While Exalogic is optimized for enterprise Java, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Corporation’s Fusion Applications, it also provides an environment for third-party and custom Linux and Solaris applications.

Datacenter challenges

It is not uncommon that enterprise information-technology (IT) organizations after years of innovation, expansion and acquisition have developed a complex infrastructure with multiple platforms and technologies that requires significant efforts to manage. In response, a number of technologies and practices have become prominent for large enterprises, ranging from consolidation, virtualization and centralized storage to enterprise-wide standardization of software and hardware. In addition, these techniques have given way to adoption of a more centralized, automated, and elastic infrastructure which is commonly referred to^{[by whom?]} as the “private cloud”. However, maximum performance, while balancing openness, reliability, cost, flexibility, and resource efficiency, may only be achieved with systems engineered together to make use of the clouds architecture.^{[citation needed][not specific enough to verify]}

Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud is supposedly the world's first integrated cloud machine with hardware and software engineered together to provide a "cloud in a box". Oracle Corporation has designed Oracle Exalogic to promote datacenter consolidation, providing disparate, mission-critical, performance-sensitive workloads with maximum reliability, availability, and security.

Oracle Corporation launched the Oracle Exalogic product at Oracle OpenWorld 2010.
