Dev and test share an X2-8 full rack
QA uses a pair of X2-2 full racks (active Data Guard to mirror prod) We just got an X3-2 half rack to use as a sandbox.

All our current prod and non-prod Exadatas are in our data center. Our DR site is hosted by someone else with our hardware (the same configuration as our prod environment).
