Your customer is worried that as they need to upgrade their Exadata Database Machine from a
Quarter Rack to a Half Rack to a Full Rack, the overall performance of the Machine will diminish.
How should you address this concern?
A.
Tell the customer that when they need more storage, the underlying hardware will be faster so
they will not have to worry.
B.
Tell the customer they can always move from SATA storage to SAS storage for better
performance.
C.
Tell the customer that some performance degradation is inevitable in any architecture.
D.
Tell the customer that the balanced hardware configuration of the Exadata Storage Server
prevents this from happening.
Explanation:
Oracle lets you upgrade from quarter rack to half rack or a full rack, but again its not cheap. The
only gotcha I’ve seen is you cannot simply add storage to the solution, you need to by exadata
servers and software and might also need to buy additional database servers depending upon
your storage requirement. So when you budget your system, ensure that you forecast your growth
thoroughly.
