Oracle offers price-performance boost with Exadata X11M update

Another utility of X11M, according to Moor Insights and Strategy principal analyst Matt Kimball, is the promise of helping enterprises turn raw data into value faster, which in turn can lead to an increase in revenue.

“Imagine if an enterprise can allow an end customer to take a decision 25% faster. Or a researcher being able to predict or forecast faster in their respective fields. Think about real-time trading desks and what a 25% improvement in performance can mean in terms of profitability,” Kimball said. 

The superior performance and lower operational costs of X11M will drive initial adoption across financial, e-commerce, and process manufacturing segments where demand to scale and performance across complex workloads, such as Oracle, SAP, and Siebel, are key, said The Futurum Group’s principal analyst Ron Westfall.
