Oracle Exadata

All marketing processes in my organization have been simplified by Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service through infusing AI and personalizing analytics in real-time.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine is a great platform. My only concern with the platform is the fact that it runs on dedicated proprietary hardware provided by Oracle because it is treated as a "machine." Our prior database installation of Sybase could run on a variety of hardware devices. Same with SAP HANA, MS-SQL, and DB2. But given the way the organization is utilizing the Oracle Exadata Database Machine as the enterprise solution and providing the database as a service. I was less concerned about that because my team is no longer responsible for patching the hardware or database software. That is all handled for us because we are receiving the service. Oracle Exadata Database Machine is well suited for mission-critical large scale installations given the cost of entry to get the platform. We are running on-premise. I do know that oracle also offers a cloud-based service.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine is suitable for critical business for which there should not be any downtime. It is suitable for business which requires fast computation speeds. It is suitable where business runs many queries. The performance of queries is really very good in Oracle Exadata Database Machine. It is suitable for business where we need scripting through bash and sh.

Any area where a highly architected database solution is needed, Exadata is a good fit. It is generally built to order so cooperative configuration and build phases are executed between the vendor and business and technology teams. When full adherence to the latest database technology and hardware support are needed.
Anytime RAC/clustered database technology is needed.

Exadata machine is well suited for customers who have mission-critical data with high transactional and high availability database requirements.
We had 9 Oracle databases on different Hardware machines, we merged all those databases into a single Exadata, and today we are having higher performance than before. It is not very appropriate for customers who have a very small database, and users below 25.

Oracle Exadata is well suited to simplify databases and IT management with high levels of consolidation.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine is perfect for organization which already familiar with Oracle Databases which want to run their database on an infrastructure specifically engineered to run Oracle Database efficiently and get the best performance possible. Using same vendor for both hardware and software for database also eliminate the complexity of managing multiple vendors for different hardware and software. However, for organization which already invested on various commodity hardware and using multiple databases software. Migrating to Exadata Database Machine which can only run Oracle Database will surely comes with a price.

It has increased the performance of databases and has helped with the consolidation of databases.

It is well-suited for anything database related!

It suits our enterprise well. This would be good for any enterprise level database company. This would not be good for super small companies.

It is best suited for environments where performance, consolidation and scalability plays a big role. It might be less appropriate for small scale applications/companies since the investment is very big.

Exadata is a machine built to run databases and it does it extremely well. It helps in driving the overall Opex cost lower without compromising uptime and performance.

Best for both analytics and OLTP loads. Redundancy at every level makes it highly available. Patching process is being simplified over time, making it easier with less downtime. Good to consolidate lots of databases in a single Exadata rack which makes the management of databases easy. Very large databases are well supported.

Exadata is well suited for large enterprises and data integration.Not suited for SMB or non-Oracle driven databases.

It is a question of pricing. Oracle Exadata is a big machine which is not suitable for SMBs. I recommend more sparse server or Oracle Database appliance for SMBs. Enterprise companies have much more data to run, so need better performance.

In most of the cases, you can start with an entry-level machine and upgrade. But once you use Oracle Exadata Database Machine you cannot move to another machine. This is one of the best in the market. Exadata in the cloud is also a great solution.

It has proven to be an excellent large-scale system to support several thousand users, multiple 3rd party tools, and a large number of daily extract jobs.

The machine is best suited for data warehouses and analytical workloads, and with new features it even provides better performance on OLTP as well. It keeps improving with every version and getting better and better day by the day. The DBAs will enjoy the full control of the system and enhance their skills. It's best for OLTP and DWH.

Performance improvement in our payroll processing. Payroll calcs going from 25 minutes to 6 minutes was a game changer for us, as well as backups going from 5 hours to 20 minutes. This allows us to do testing and then restore the database and test again.

It's great for organizations where you need to create, collect, and track information to continue to grow rapidly.

Exadata's platform is ideal for database consolidation. With Oracle's multi-tenant (pluggable) databases one can put hundreds of databases on one machine.
