Case Study: Oracle lowers total cost of ownership and improves performance with Oracle Exadata

Oracle Lowers Total Cost of Ownership for Rapidly Growing Data Stores While Improving Performance

Oracle, the enterprise solutions company, faced rapidly growing storage demands across its cloud, database, application development, Oracle VM, and midtier environments. As its data volumes surged and costs climbed, Oracle needed a more scalable storage platform with lower total cost of ownership and better performance, using Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance behind key engineered systems such as Oracle Exadata Database Machine.

Oracle implemented Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and managed it with Oracle Enterprise Manager, using features like mirroring, snapshots, clones, replication, clustered failover, and automated service requests. With Oracle, the company reduced administrative costs, let each system administrator manage 4x more storage, and achieved a lower price per TB and lower total cost of ownership across space, power, management, and overhead.
