Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years.""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.""Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour.""Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."

"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."

Cons
"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.""Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better."

More Oracle Exalogic [EOL] Cons →

"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."

More SteelFusion Cons →

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."

  • "Price is an issue – this is expensive stuff. My advice is to beat up Riverbed as much as possible on price. These things are expensive and there is room for negotiation."
