Exadata user enterprises are in good hands, in fact, better hands than the users of other infrastructure and mainstay technologies. It is because of Oracle’s preaching of more than one way to cloudify Oracle database and Oracle Exadata-based infrastructure while setting the downtime, disruption, and effort level to an absolute nominal.
In a nutshell, the beauty of Exadata is that you can run your Oracle Database workloads behind your firewall using Exadata Cloud@Customer (ExaCC) or have the ultimate Exadata cloud experience with Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS). Besides, no testing is required, hence, all you are left with is a clean and rapid cloudification.
Let us explore further why Oracle Exadata — with ExaCC and ExaCS options — is the 2023’s modernization ‘best practice’ for Oracle Database.
6 Reasons to Run your Oracle Database on Exadata
Oracle Exadata is by far the best platform for mixed, OLTP, and analytical workloads with futuristic deployment options for running Oracle Database on-premises, in the Oracle Cloud, or both. Below are the five reasons to use Exadata for Oracle database.

In fact, INFOLOB is the only partner chosen by Oracle for assistance with Exadata Cloud@Customer implementation.
Quick Advantages of Running Autonomous Database on Exadata Cloud@Customer
- Streamline database expenses with a managed autonomous service: Cut down on infrastructure and management costs by utilizing the Oracle Autonomous Database Service on isolated virtual machine clusters on the same Cloud@Customer setup as Exadata Database Service
- Empower developers: Allow developers to quickly develop, test, and launch applications with secure, self-service access to a cloud database based on Oracle best practices through APIs, CLIs, and SDKs
- Boost data insights: Establish secure, governed self-service data warehouses that allow business teams to easily gain insights from multiple data sources without having to move workloads to the cloud
- Enhance Oracle application performance: Run JD Edwards, Siebel, and PeopleSoft with minimum database costs and no need for complex database management
- Automate database maintenance: Achieve autonomous database management with databases that self-tune, scale, and secure themselves, minimize human error, and allow for faster execution of diverse OLTP, analytics, and mixed workloads.
- Unify disparate databases: Run autonomous and non-autonomous databases concurrently on the same Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer to upgrade operational efficiency and lower costs for all types of database workloads
Exadata Cloud Service – The Most Refined Approach to Oracle Database Modernization
Exadata Cloud Service is a fully-managed, all-cloud service that enables customers to run their Oracle Database workloads on Oracle Exadata. As a direct consequence, customers are relieved of maintaining the underlying infrastructure since Oracle handles all of the management (including configuring, patching, troubleshooting, performance tuning, etc.) of the Exadata environment. This service is based on the universal pay-as-you-go subscription model, meaning customers pay for the resources they utilize, rather than making a large CapEx in hardware and software – establishing it as a lot less messy upgrade to Exadata Cloud. Plus, no administrative costs either.
Exadata Cloud Service also includes architected-in high availability and disaster recovery competencies that foster always-on availability and data loss protection for customers’ databases. Atop that, the service is integrated with other Oracle Cloud services including Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), GoldenGate, Autonomous Database, etc., allowing customers to rapidly construct and deploy applications in their Oracle and non-Oracle database environments.
Long story short, Exadata Cloud Service is a robust yet highly flexible option for Oracle database customers to straightaway go ‘cloud-borne’ instead of engaging in the hassles and costs of managing a highly-performant underlying infrastructure.
