Exadata Architecture Review
Exadata Architecture Reviews are well received by our customers because they provide instant value and are free!
We often find that customers experience problems with their Oracle environment that cannot be pinpointed or rapidly resolved, or indeed if it is identified, there is not the resource available to the customer to remedy the issue quickly enough.
Exadata Cloud at Customer (ExaCC)
Exadata is now available on an OPEX model called “Exadata Cloud at Customer” (ExaCC) where you pay a subscription fee for the base infrastructure and only pay for the services that you consume running on that platform.
We can migrate your environment and then continue to manage your cloud environment to ensure both cost and performance optimisation.
We can also migrate you to ExaCC to dramatically reduce your licensing costs. We recently saved one of our customers £1m+ by doing this.

Points to consider...
Your
consumption choice
You can now choose your consumption model in Hybrid Cloud, 100% Cloud native, or both. You can choose to consume a “slice” of Exadata using Oracle’s Autonomous Cloud services (yes, ATP and ADW are built on Exadata’s!) or you could go down the “Cloud at Customer” route where an appliance is still shipped to your DC but you pay for consumption using a Cloud model.
Leverage
Extreme Performance
Exadata’s “secret sauce” of software, engineered with fully redundant, scalable and performant infrastructure, provides a solution to any business running Oracle Database workloads that are experiencing performance bottlenecks, server sprawl and high costs.
Reduce
Internal Costs
The total cost of new infrastructure (or maintaining legacy systems) is often overlooked. Using converged infrastructure simplifies operational management.
Plus, Oracle Engineered Systems benefits from the additional efficiency improvements that come from Oracle owning the intellectual property between hardware and software – patching is quicker and simpler, recovery is quicker and simpler, provisioning new environments is quicker and simpler.

Understanding Exadata performance through an onsite PoC
We understand that all customers are different and each Oracle workload will have its own unique set of nuances, regardless of its size. This means it’s almost impossible to know what scale Exadata can improve performance.
The key is to try it in your datacentre with your applications, which to date has been extremely difficult and costly to achieve for customers – both logistically and technically.
To remedy this, our own Exadata is available for onsite Proof of Concepts with zero associated costs.
Discovery Session
We meet with you to discuss your Oracle infrastructure, performance issues, business challenges and future business requirements.
Gather Benchmark Stats
At the same time, we install our performance monitoring software to gather performance information about specific Oracle workloads. Eg, Backup run times, query wait times.
Delivery And Installation
An Exadata X5 will be delivered to your site, fully insured, along with our Exadata consultant to begin installation and configuration.
Exadata Benchmark
Using the same tool that gathered performance information about your current Database hardware, we will repeat the benchmark on Exadata and capture like-for-like performance information.
Reporting and analysis
We will document the findings using data gathered throughout the PoC and share with you to form the basis of an internal business case for procurement.
