The lowest configuration is 1 Exadata Storage Server + 1 Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7) running on OEL 5.1 connected by Infiniband. And you should also see speedup comparing to similar SAN/NAS. This is due to ability to push predicates directly to storage, thus minimizing data transfer between storage and DB server.

Cheers

I wonder what % of oracles are small accounts, 1-2 license shops. It would sure be nice to have this offered in a small configuration like that.

Since the speed boost comes from excluding what you are not interested in it depends how selective you are !
I’m waiting for the first AskTom on why its quicker to full scan a 1 Tb table than use a index.

…and just how much pr0n could it serve up simultaeneously!

The OTN lounge was full of people who were underwhelmed. I’m not one of them, though …

Maybe some smaller systems will come available in the future?

I like the cool technology since I’m a geek -and it seems to me that it suggests that 11.1.0.7 will have rather more feature improvements than a patchset normally does, but no mostly it seems relevant to the ultra high-end market where Oracle is in competition with netezza etc.
