WinterCorp: Expect Dramatic Gains from Oracle Exadata

In its recent publication, Measuring the Performance of the Oracle Exadata Storage Server, WinterCorp, an industry expert in large-scale data management, presented the results of the first independently validated tests of the performance of HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server for data warehousing.

"The tests described in this report demonstrate that the HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server delivers major advantages in storage bandwidth and system efficiency," says Richard Winter, report author and founder of Winter Corporation. "The queries chosen are not simple scans, but combine scanning with joins, sorting, grouping and other complex database operations," he adds. "These gains are proven and quantified with illustrative data warehouse queries on a multibillion row scale."

According to the paper's findings, "...a modest 14 HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server system—housed in one standard 42U rack—will deliver higher throughput and system efficiency than Oracle Database using a dedicated multiple cabinet high-end enterprise class array—when processing data warehouse queries. As a result, the HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server, when properly configured for most data warehouse workloads, will also deliver savings in space, power, [and] cooling when compared to a typical San-based storage solution," says Winter.
