Just as stable as the cloud version

Pros and Cons

"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."

"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."

What needs improvement?

The technology in the on-premises version of Exadata is pretty much the same as the cloud edition. However, the cloud version is much more flexible when it comes to sizing and pricing.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Exadata eight out of 10. If you are considering this solution, I recommend first seeing what other options are available for Oracle and MPP databases. If you are familiar with Oracle and are accustomed to working with it, you should stay with Oracle. For a better price-performance ratio, I would suggest other options and MPP databases.
