Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour.""The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides.""Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products.""The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years.""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).""Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads.""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."

"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses.""The documentation was plentiful and very helpful.​""The solution is stable.""The initial setup isn't too difficult.""There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware.""The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want.""Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools.""It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."

Cons
"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.""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."

More Oracle Exalogic [EOL] Cons →

"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases).​""The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase.""OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience.""So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced.""OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools.""VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment.""The line migration is a problem."

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."
