Oracle Exadata Cloud Service X8M Soars Past Rivals

Exadata Cloud Service X8M is the combination of Oracle Exadata X8M and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Oracle provides a global cloud network of 27 datacenters that deliver enterprise Exadata Cloud Service X8M to run Oracle OLTP and Data Warehouse applications. Wikibon believes, based on research to be published shortly, that the Oracle Exadata Cloud Service X8M offers the lowest cost option of moving to the cloud to enterprises with significant investments in Oracle Databases. The large-scale performance and availability of the Oracle Database are better than AWS or Google OLTP databases. The integration level with other databases and data types offered with the universal Oracle Database provides a faster path to synchronous automation. CXOs should avoid any attempt to convert complex mission-critical Oracle Tier-1 database applications like the plague.

Wikibon recommends that enterprises looking for the highest Oracle Database performance levels adopt the Exadata Cloud Service X8M, in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, as a Dedicated Region, or as an Exadata Cloud@Customer deployment.
