Personally, I have no opinion on the appliances. I would expect it to be decent (in the "nobody was ever fired for buying IBM" paradigm), you can get in relatively cheap, then they get you on the scale-up and the real money is in licensing, particularly the db and apps. http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/exadata-pricelist-070598.pdf (Actually, I think it would be good for my current company to consolidate on, but past experience with Oracle being a poopy-head probably rules it out.)

Google (or follow on twitter) Kevin Closson for some interesting technical opinions.

What is actually that "relatively cheap", what is the entry level?
Oracle Database Appliance X4-2  - Database $60.000

What is included? Any Hidden costs?
