Oracle offers price-performance boost with Exadata X11M update

Another benefit of X11M, according to Matt Kimball, principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, is its promise to help enterprises turn raw data into value faster, which in turn can lead to increased revenue.

“Imagine if a business could enable the end consumer to make decisions 25% faster. Or a researcher who is able to predict or forecast faster in their fields. Think about real-time marketplaces and what a 25% performance improvement could mean in terms of profitability,” Kimball said.

The X11M’s superior performance and lower operating costs will drive initial adoption in finance, e-commerce and manufacturing segments where the need for scale and performance on complex workloads such as Oracle, SAP and Siebel are key, Futurum Group said. Chief Analyst Ron Westfall.
