Even though quality of oracle platinum team support/monitoring/patching is questionable, that is added benefit.

Subject: Oracle Exadata Top Three Selling points

I've put in a request for (2) Exadata 1/2 rack server (prod / dr ) and (2) 1/4 rack Exadata servers (SIT / DEV). My negotiation stated with full racks (really wanted 1/2 racks). It's moving forward to what I really want.

Our current environment is 40+ Oracle 9i - 11g databases on what ever hardware the customer could pull together. So, there are a couple solaris boxes, quite a few windows database server and a linux server. each database running on it's own server. My evil plan is to pull the customer into 2016 kicking and screaming, migrating all these databases to 12C PDB to create a private DB cloud. The DBA, development staff and director is supporing my efforts.

Now my director is asking for the three top bullet points to take to his boss. On why we should go to Exadata.

What are your top three reasons to move to exadata. I want this to be strong; so there is quite likely some things I have not thought about.

  • Performance.
  • Operational maintenance (one big server as apposed to 40+ servers scattered over diffrent versions and OS's)
  • Make the DBA staff happy. :-)
