AI Transforms Oracle Exadata X8

Wikibon believes that integrating AI into Oracle Database 19c and the Exadata platform changes the game. As a result, Wikibon recommends that Exadata X8 becomes the default x86 platform for mission-critical workloads using Oracle Database.

Senior executives should regard Exadata X8 and beyond as the default platform for Oracle. It is time for database practitioners and their executive management to let go of traditional roles of database design and optimization of hardware and software. Acceptance of Oracle Cloud services for the appropriate mission-critical workloads will release headcount and reduce business risk.

Practitioners will need new skills to design hybrid databases and support hybrid applications. These applications will exploit hybrid data sources across hybrid clouds and be far more valuable to the enterprise line-of-business. They will be creating the core of enterprise digitization services.
