Oracle Server X8‑2 

Oracle Server X8‑2 is a compact 1U two-socket enterprise x86 server engineered for Oracle Database, virtualization, cloud IaaS and general enterprise workloads, delivering balanced compute, memory, I/O, security and RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) capabilities.

Key Specifications

• Form Factor: 1U rack-mount server

• Processors: Dual 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Platinum / Gold) CPUs, up to 24 cores per socket

• Memory: 24 DDR4 ECC DIMM slots, maximum 1.5 TB memory (RDIMM / LRDIMM, DDR4‑2666)Oracle

• Storage: Up to eight 2.5-inch hot-pluggable bays; support SAS3 HDD, SATA SSD and NVMe SSD. Optional internal M.2 flash modules

• PCIe: 4 × PCIe Gen3 slots

• Network: On-board dual 10GBASE-T RJ45 or dual 25G SFP28 ports; expandable via PCIe adapters

• Management: Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) for out-of-band remote management, proactive fault detection and advanced diagnostics

Main Features

1. Optimized for Oracle DatabaseThe X8‑2 is purpose-built for Oracle Database deployments with SAN/NAS. NVMe flash can host full in-flash database or enable Oracle Database Smart Flash Cache to accelerate heavy I/O workloads like OLTP and data warehouse.

2. Enterprise-Grade SecurityBuilt-in hardware security features are enabled by default to protect data, firmware and operating environment against modern threats.

3. High RAS & ReliabilityHot-pluggable drives, redundant power supplies and fans, plus built-in predictive fault monitoring minimize downtime for mission-critical systems.

4. Flexible Virtualization & Cloud InfrastructureWell suited for server consolidation, virtual machines and IaaS cloud environments, balancing core density, memory footprint and I/O bandwidth.
