Exalytics X3-4 is available

Oracle published Exalytics X3-4 availability here, with twice as much memory and 2.4 TB of Flash storage:

From the press release it seems to support OBIEE 11.1.1.7, Endeca 3.0 and EPM 11.2.3.
That reminds me; In the OBIEE patch 11.1.1.7.1 there is a new feature "Support for TimesTen Parallel Insert", it seems to be ideal for Exalytics.

Here are some quotes:

The new Exalytics X3-4 system features 2 TB of main memory, 2.4 TB of flash storage, and 5.4 TB of hard disk. Oracle also released system upgrades to increase memory capacity for existing Exalytics X2-4 customers, and updated software for all Exalytics customers.

The software foundation for Oracle Exalytics X3-4 includes:
Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite 11.1.1.7 delivers more than 200 enhancements across the suite and many features targeted exclusively for Oracle Exalytics. Examples of benefits for Exalytics customers include extremely fast ‘hot-data’ recommendations from the database and high-volume bursting with Oracle BI Publisher, to generate hundreds of thousands of personalized reports and documents for business users in time periods that were previously unachievable. In addition to these, Oracle Essbase, a component of Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite, also benefits from Flash memory and expanded main memory. Customers can expand planning across the enterprise, compress planning cycles, and deliver relevant, data driven insights to all lines of business.
Oracle Endeca Information Discovery 3.0 enables rapid insights into new sources of data including unstructured content in social media, websites, content management systems, raw text from documents, email, and more. By correlating this data to the structured data in data warehouses and enterprise applications, users will be able to more accurately manage data and meaning form unstructured sources, ultimately driving better business decisions and innovations.
Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System Release 11.1.2.3 is the latest release of Oracle’s industry-leading enterprise planning, reporting and financial close applications. With updates to user experience, added functional capabilities and new powerful integrations, this new release empowers organizations to plan for profitable growth and report with confidence. Delivering faster and more granular profitability analysis, Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management is now certified to run on Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine and pre-configured to enable multidimensional reporting. This release also includes direct integration of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition on Oracle Exalytics with Hyperion Financial Management to deliver rich, pre-built analytics on consolidated financial results.
