Good performance and stability with a straightforward setup

Typically, if a client needs support, they contact us and we are the ones to offer it to them. However, we have contacted Oracle technical support and we have a back-to-back contract with them. They support our HR on-site team. We also get support from Oracle functional services and backend support. They are usually quite good, but at times it depends on which engineer is working. When we get support from India, there's sometimes a delay. If it's from Europe or the US, often we get faster results. Time zones also affect technical support response times and will dictate who responds to our requests.

Provides excellent internal communication and scalability

Scalability depends on the workload because SuperCluster is available in three models: small, medium, and high-end configurations. The high-end configuration is suitable for very large organizations. However, scalability is limited by the initial configuration. You can upgrade to medium or high configurations if starting with a small configuration. Expanding with a high-end configuration requires adding a new rack or configuring a new SuperCluster instance and integrating it with the existing setup. Approximately three thousand or more users can simultaneously access the SuperCluster.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"There are many benefits of Exalogic, but I believe the most important point is production stability."

"This product offers a strong infrastructure with compute, storage, and network in a private cloud environment, enabling the organization to concentrate on business application development and improvement."

"The ability to have ZFS (shared file systems) with InfiniBand, and an InfiniBand connection to the Exadata database is very useful."

"Storage, strong in data integrity."

"On comparison with other solutions, VM for example, we saw a 70% performance improvement."

"The most valuable feature I've seen in the Exalogic platform is the integration it has with the Exadata."

"This product has improved our organization by giving us better performance on WebLogic-based applications."

"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."

More Oracle Exalogic [EOL] pros

"A valuable feature is the Exadata Storage appliance, optimized for database queries."

"Because SuperCluster is a specially engineered system, we have confidence in that all the components are compatible with one another. Everything runs together as a well-coupled group of machines, and the performance is great (especially the memory)."

"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."

"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."

"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."

"When you look at SuperCluster's complete infrastructure as a whole and the fact that we can run the database and application all on the same infrastructure, I feel that SuperCluster is a better solution than most."

"Upon migrating to OSC M7, the customer achieved significant performance, reduced cost for licensing and used the Exadata and SuperCluster features."

"Our primary use case is for E-Business Suite applications, the applications for the government, and most of the applications that use an HCM."

More Oracle SuperCluster pros

Cons

"EMOC (Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center) is not very user-friendly, the user interface could be improved."

"I would like to see more than four virtual disk capability in future versions of this product."

"There's a lot of additional features I would like to see in the Exalogic. The user interface would be nice to better integrate into Enterprise Manager 13 and eliminate the whole EMOC layer to the Exalogic."

"OTD (Oracle Traffic Director) is failover architecture and is not as robust as advertised. Additionally, SSO and several other features sometimes went down."

"I can't think of a single significant issue with performance or stability that was solved in less than nine months, and it is honestly the worst product I have ever dealt with."

"It's very expensive. Oracle Platinum Services (patching) is terrible, and we haven't had a patching exercise occur without significant problems and often impact to production operations."

"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."

"Technical support is an issue for Oracle, not only for Exalogic products; it needs to improve."

More Oracle Exalogic [EOL] cons

"If you have a need to connect to a lot of stuff, you should perhaps look at other systems as well, not just Oracle SuperCluster, because it's very Oracle focused."

"We have faced network connectivity issues."

"It would be more convenient if the Agta Logic worked within the SuperCluster with the Agta data, as it may boost the speed of the applications."

"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."

"Not a very user friendly solution."

"If it had capabilities to integrate really well with DB2 or SQL Server or Hitachi SANs, those sort of things, that would be a real benefit. Right now, it's fully supported only under all Oracle infrastructure."

"Oracle SuperCluster M7 is bit expensive."

"There are many areas for improvement. For example, better guidance in terms of troubleshooting issues relating to ZFS, as well as better tools/diagnostics for monitoring that specific component, to better identify potential issues. Hardware monitoring via OEM 13.2 is not 100 percent, as Ops Center is still required in some instances."

More Oracle SuperCluster 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."

"For us, the licensing costs are a large amount, but we are also paying for the rack, the SLA, and other extras. When I look into our organization's requirements regarding performance, machine load, etc., I believe that, while expensive, SuperCluster is nevertheless good for us."

"Due to the multiple products involved in our use of SuperCluster (including different software, hardware, etc.), I cannot comment on the licensing aspect."
