Why Exadata
| Question | Elaboration |
| When should I buy Exadata? | At what stage in my IT lifecycle should I look at alternative solutions? When is the right time or how long can I wait before upgrading my existing IT infrastructure? |
| Why should I buy Exadata? | What are the current business challenges which are prompting me to look outside my current IT infrastructure? How many of those challenges will be addressed by Exadata? |
| If I buy Exadata, will that solve all my IT related problems? | Will Exadata be able to get rid of my pain points from an IT infrastructure point of view? Will it help to: -reduce the data center carbon footprint -reduce program run times -reduce data load times -reduce application response times -reduce reliance on multiple vendors -reduce reliance on multiple hardware solutions for online and BI based applications -reduce time spent on understanding different technologies in the IT landscape -reduce training needs of team on multiple technologies -reduce time spent in commissioning/de-commissioning of servers -reduce time spent in developing custom solutions for business problems for which out of the box solutions are available -reduce time spent on calculating and reporting metrics to higher management |
| If yes, how will the problems be solved? | Before buying, can I get a real world demonstration of Exadata capabilities? Is it possible to gauge what improvements will accrue if applications in my IT landscape are ported to Exadata? |
| If Exadata cannot solve"all" my IT related issues, then, should I still buy Exadata? | What percentage of my IT related problems can Exadata actually solve? Is it ALL, SOME or NONE? Can any other technology solve the problems I'm facing? Are there any statistics which can tell me how Exadata compares with other solutions available in the market? |
| How should I buy Exadata? | Who can help me in finding out the right Exadata configuration which is best fit for my business needs? What are various costs and charges involved? Where can I place my order? When can I expect delivery? Do I need to make changes in the data center to accommodate Exadata machine? Who can help me in setting up/configuring the Exadata machine? Who will support me during initial few months after Exadata implementation? Who can help train my team on Exadata? |
