Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Exalogic

Oracle Exalogic is the best solution for Java applications in terms of performance and high availability. My customer was able to consolidate several installations of WebLogic servers in one single Exalogic virtual configuration, without re-writing the applications. So, my customer saved the maintenance costs of their systems and also improved the performance of mission critical applications without any code change.
  • Private Cloud: in the virtual configuration, you can create several accounts and assign different resources (vCPU, RAM, etc.) to several departments in your organization.
  • SDP & Infiband: Oracle Exalogic can be connected to Oracle Exadata using Infiniband Fabric, to take advantage of high bandwidth and low latency network to connect Weblogic to Oracle Database.
  • Standardization: Oracle WebLogic Server running on Oracle Exalogic is the same software running on a normal Linux machine, so you can easily move Java applications without changing it, and immediately benefit from the Exalogic Optimizations.
  • My customers don't appreciate the Enterprise Manager Ops Center to monitor/maintain Exalogic. Maybe, the user interface could be simplified.
  • Increase stability and performance of Weblogic Server applications.
  • Platinum Support: the patching process is simplified because storage/firmware/OS/binaries are patched in the same time by the same vendor.
  • Cost savings for hardware maintenance.
Oracle Exalogic was designed for Oracle WebLogic Server, the best scenario is for two specific tasks:
1) consolidation of different installations (in a virtual configuration)
2) maximize the performance of java applications (with any code change)

Oracle Exalogic is not appropriate to create custom vServer. For example, it's not possibile to install Microsoft Windows operating systems. There are specific Exalogic vServer template to be used instead.
