Oracle Exadata and Exadata Cloud@Customer

The course is organised around the storage server, because that is what makes Exadata different. Smart Scan, storage indexes, Hybrid Columnar Compression and Flash Cache all execute below the database tier, and understanding when each engages — and more importantly when it silently does not — is the core skill.

Delegates spend substantial time with CELLCLI and the storage server command set, reading metrics and diagnosing whether a query offloaded correctly. A great deal of Exadata performance work amounts to establishing why a statement fell back to conventional block access.

The cloud modules are treated as genuinely different operating models rather than a footnote. Exadata Cloud@Customer changes who holds root, what patching windows look like and where the support boundary sits, and administrators moving from on-premises Exadata are routinely surprised by those constraints.

Who should attend

Aimed at experienced DBAs and infrastructure engineers working on or moving to engineered systems. This is not an entry-level course.

  • Oracle DBAs inheriting or deploying an Exadata estate
  • Infrastructure engineers responsible for engineered systems
  • Architects evaluating Exadata against alternatives
  • Teams migrating to Exadata Cloud@Customer or Exadata Database Service
  • Managed service providers supporting Exadata for clients
  • Pre-sales consultants who need defensible platform knowledge

Assumed knowledge: solid Oracle Database administration, and familiarity with RAC and ASM. Comfortable with Linux command line, storage and networking concepts. Delegates without RAC and ASM experience should take the AppSolWorld RAC, ASM and Data Guard course first.

Delivery

Duration
40 hours, delivered as weekday evenings or weekend sessions.

Format
Live instructor-led online, with recordings available to delegates for the duration of the programme. On-site corporate delivery available on request.

Lab environment
Delegates work in a shared Exadata lab environment for the duration of the course, with guided exercises against storage server and database tiers.

Included
Course notes, lab guides, exercise solutions and a certificate of completion.
