Oracle Corp. introduced two new computer systems, one with faster data access and another for organizing information from the Web, as it aims to win market share from International Business Machines Corp. and SAP AG.
Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison unveiled one system yesterday, called the Exalytics Intelligence Machine, that analyzes information within its dynamic random access memory. The approach makes the product many times faster than machines that store data on disk drives, Ellison said in a speech at the company’s OpenWorld conference in San Francisco.
