[...] Achieving Extreme Performance with Oracle ExadataBook ReviewAchieving Extreme Performance with Oracle ExadataRick Greenwald, Robert Stackowiak, Maqsood Alam, Mans BhullerOracle PressISBN: 978-0-07-175259-6Summary-------------Overall review: A very good introduction to Exadata.Target audience: Anyone with an Oracle database looking for performance improvement or database consolidation.Would you recommend to others?: Yes.Who will get the most from this book?: Anyone that needs to understand what is new with Exadata.Is this book platform specific?: Yes - but that doesn't mean what it used to mean.Why did I obtain this book?: NoCOUG asked me to review this book."The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation."Overall review--------------------Exadata is both a new thing and a return to the past. Dedicated hardware preconfigured to run specific vendor software - sounds like old times doesn't it? But there are new twists. The use of large amounts of flash memory and clever software makes Exadata a very new thing. While the familiar Oracle database runs on Exadata, the way the software and hardware work together presents many new concepts and terms that need to be understood. Much about Exadata will be familiar to Oracle DBAs, but there is much that is totally new. This book covers the new concepts very well. While there aren't any case studies or metrics from real-world implementations, the material presented is well worth your time as you prepare for the new world of Exadata.Before we go any further, we need to define some terms.
