I think the biggest advantage in using Exadata is that the storage and
network administration for the RAC cluster does *not* depend on the network
team and the storage team getting things right.

*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. :-)
