Conducting Proof of Concept
at Oracle Solution Centre in UK
• Preparation
‒
‒
‒
‒
Installation of the entire IT infrastructure for SAP
Upgrade 6.5 TB data from Oracle Database 10g to Exadata
Generate simulation of online users in a web shop
Generate batch job load for invoicing
• Execution Environment
‒ Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 Half-Rack
‒ 5 x Sun Blade 6270 M2 running Solaris10 for Application Tier
‒ All tests administered by customer's staff

Results from Proof of Concept
“Faster performance out-of-the-box”
• Online User Activity
‒ Simulated over 6,000 concurrent users
‒ Response times of ~0.9s with 17% CPU utilization across 4 nodes
‒ Unable to “saturate“ system
• Batch Job Results
‒ Simulated over 900 batch jobs running in parallel
‒ Reduced batch run times by 2/3rds (11:30 to 3:45 hours)
‒ Only 2 Database Server nodes used for batch jobs
