RE: Oracle Exadata Machine

    That is a good question and I regret that I don't have an exact apples to apples answer. The HP DL-380 is a darn good Intel powered pizza box, I've used a pile of them over the years and their in the $5-7K range for the hardware alone. What the HP disk array/SAN costs I've no idea. The data warehouse we're looking to build uses an HP-UX machine (sorry I don't know the model number, that's the Unix group's job) and EMC SAN (already in place) but comes in at around $20K. Would be interesting to get an Exadata machine to play with once ours is built. Load it with the same data & run the same queries against it. Results would be real apples to apples.

What are similar costs of a full rack of similar (non-Oracle) equipment for comparison?

I think it's 600000 for a full rack and half rack 350000 And plus some software license if you dont already own one.

But then again I think this is what Teradata and Netezza costs (or similar) so I guess it's targeted to very high profile customers
