Oracle Exadata vs. Roll Your Own: Wikibon's Take
Wikibon research with customers shows Oracle’s Full Stack systems (Exadata is the reference system in this research) consistently deliver improve performance with better utilization of resources, more efficient offload data handling, tighter software integration and a more integrated top-to-bottom architecture. These attributes reduce complexity and offset a 25% higher price with 25% better throughput. What Oracle has done is spend money in R&D to lower the amount of resources required to achieve comparable performance relative to Roll Your Own (RYO) systems. Customers in our research sample take the benefit by either spending less to get comparable performance or spending more and increasing application performance. Wikibon’s assessment is that 46% of the cost of RYO is operational costs, compared to 21% of Exadata systems. Overall, the research found that unique RYO infrastructure has 53% higher costs over 3-years than the Full Stack System for a Tier-1 system of record.
