Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years.""Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products.""Enterprise high-speed interoperability: With IPoIB we can deliver to other environments, either IP-Ethernet-based or IP-InfiniBand-based protocol, both with minimum bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps, 20Gbps, or 40Gbps, redundantly.""Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads.""Server consolidation. In a cloud architecture, moving the HA VM from one to other is faster. This is because of the InfiniBand network fabric between the compute nodes and storage nodes (ZFS Storage).""The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides.""Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."

"Supports connection to most of network topology, such as VLAN and network segmentation.""You will find the high availability and License Team with Oracle very valuable.""The most valuable features include distinct storage within the Oracle PCA.""It has helped us to reduce Oracle licensing costs for database and applications.""It is scalable as the box can be increased by one compute node, if required."

Cons
"Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better.""The solution is prone to disk failures. This needs to improve. Over the past four years we've had to replace about six of them. They've failed almost every three to six months.""The solution needs to add a network virtualization feature similar to that of VxRail. If they could implement that, it would be great for the product."

More Oracle Exalogic [EOL] Cons →

"The initial setup was very complex.""OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface.""In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly.""Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Get the price of the license you will need for the middleware that will be running on top of the Exalogic. Otherwise, you can use another middleware solution, as long as it can run on top of Oracle Linux."
  • "Pricing and licensing are two very delicate aspects when talking about Oracle, especially engineered systems. The prices are quite high compared with other similar products, so the CapEx analysis and investment return have to be very well studied."
  • "To expand the hardware's capability requires a massive investment."
  • More Oracle Exalogic [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you have many Oracle products, such as databases, middleware, and apps, it will help you reduce Oracle app licences and support costs."
  • "No licenses for the shipped software or firmware."
  • "It is more expensive than the normal solution or the hyper-converged system."
  • "It is relatively cost-effective."
