  • Unfortunately Exadata can be extremely high cost, especially for the higher tiered levels of support.
  • It does well in needed only a few machines to build and support hundreds of discrete databases.
  • Patching can be burdensome and negate cost savings as the time lost can be considerable.

  • Single support from a single vendor with both machine and database from Oracle, which is costing us less.
  • With Exadata, we need less technical manpower and less technical support. A business transaction with the integrated and centralized database helps us focus on other business needs.
  • We don't need to buy additional licenses and Hardware for the next 3 to 5 years.

  • Using Oracle Database Machine to run Oracle Database definitely increase performance and save time in operations which intensively use database.
  • Capability to migrate to cloud is a deciding factor in terms of cost saving
  • The ability to serve mix workloads of OLAP and OLTP provides a one stop solution.

  • Database backups reduced to 20 minutes from 5 hours
  • Performance in almost all database-intensive transactions.
  • Payroll processing generally reduced finish time by 4 hours per payroll Wednesday, giving us more problem resolution time.
  • Proactive hardware monitoring with replacements parts installed prior to full failure.

  • We did encounter some maintenance issues with higher parts costs. For example we had numerous server fans die and it costs like $400 per fan for the same server fans it seems as any server that costs like $30.
  • You must train your Oracle DBAs for Exadata. It is not just simply an Oracle database with some minor extras. To best leverage its capabilities and to successfully manage Exadata you need about 3-4 weeks of special training (even for long time Oracle experts).
  • Exadata updates are a little more complicated and take extra planning.
