Oracle Exadata Proof of Concept
We understand that every customer is different, and each Oracle workload comes with its own unique nuances, no matter the size. Because of this, it’s often difficult to predict how much Exadata will improve performance. The best way to know is to test it in your own data center with your applications, a process that has historically been complex and costly for customers, both logistically and technically.
To solve this, we offer on-site Proof of Concept access to our own Exadata systems at no cost, allowing you to experience its performance firsthand.
Our Proof of Concept Process:
Discovery Session
Firstly, we meet with you to discuss your Oracle infrastructure, performance issues, business challenges and future business requirements. At the same time, we install our performance monitoring software to gather performance information about specific Oracle workloads. Eg, Backup run times, query wait times.
Delivery & Instillation
Next, an Exadata will be delivered to your site, fully insured, along with our Exadata consultant to begin installation and configuration.
Exadata Benchmark
Using the same tool that gathered performance information about your current Database hardware, DSP-Explorer will repeat the benchmark on Exadata and capture like-for-like performance information.
Produce Report
DSP will document the findings using facts and figures gathered throughout the PoC and share with you to form the basis of an internal business case for procurement.
“Working with DSP has helped greatly in our ability to move forwards with improvements to our data environments. DSP provided sound advice and guidance in regards to our plans and as a result, we achieved our objectives and thus, are in a stronger place for the future."
