How is Oracle Exadata DBM different ?
Oracle Exadata Database Machine (DBM) is a blend of database software,
together with hardware, storage and network fabric into the simplicity of an
appliance. The hardware is based on x86 servers, SAS disks and Infiniband
networking-all industry standard components that are undergoing rapid
innovation. Customers can 'plug' the machine into their data centers and deploy
their existing Oracle applications on it without the need for migration or
rewrites. Exadata V2 is optimized for database operations. No other database
appliances in the market are capable of online transaction processing (OLTP)
workloads. A custom built OLTP solution by IBM, for example, would cost four
times more. For the same investment, the DBM would work four times faster.

The key differentiator lies in the software because Oracle addresses the
exponential data growth problem with two key solutions, which are only available
in the DBM: Smart Scan and Hybrid Columnar Compression. Smart Flash Cache in DBM
Version 2 capitalizes on these software innovations further. It seamlessly
offers up to 50GB per second of raw I/O bandwidth and up to 1,000,000 I/O
operations per second (IOPS) without the need to rewrite an OLTP application.
How would you describe the response to this solution?
The response to this solution has been tremendous. With regards to customer
adoption, within four to five months we have got a very impressive list of
customers like Coca Cola in Japan, SK Telecom in Korea, Softbank and Haier in
China, National Healthcare Group in Singapore, Fuji Xerox in Japan, Commonwealth
Bank of Australia, etc.
Which are the markets that you intend to tap?
I would like to elaborate on the focus industries for Exadata in three
categories. Firstly, companies in sectors like telecom, BFSI and retail.
Secondly, companies in pharma, manufacturing, drug discovery, biotechnology,
among others. Thirdly, industries such as government, homeland security, etc.
