    II would recommend Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse to someone looking to fully automate the transferring of data especially in a warehouse scenario though I can see the elasticity of the suite that is offered and can see it is applicable in other scenarios not just warehouses.

    • First, get the database on Oracle. If you are in an Oracle stack, it would be much better to use the Oracle products. If you are driving a Ferrari, you wouldn’t put a Mercedes engine in it. If you are writing a query, you cannot rely on other brands. Since I'm an architect, when I look for a product, I look for performance.
    • The installation is easy because it comes out-of-the-box and you just start using it.
    • Previous to Oracle Exadata, we were using a normal Oracle RAC service. We were just waiting for this product to come out.
    • I'm currently writing a data warehouse on Exadata. Before this solution, we were aiming for this to be completed by 8 a.m., when our ETLs would finish. With the help of Exadata's special features, this was reduced to 3 a.m. This solution allows us to bring more data within the same time period. It provides us with more subject areas that provide more reports to our users. Our ETL times reduced to 65%, then to 50%.

    Pros
    Oracle
    • Very easy and fast to load data into the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse
    • Exceptionally fast retrieval of data joining 100 million row table with a billion row table plus the size of the database was reduced by a factor of 10 due to how Oracle store[s] and organise[s] data and indexes.
    • Flexibility with scaling up and down CPU on the fly when needed, and just stop it when not needed so you don't get charged when it is not running.
    • It is always patched and always available and you can add storage dynamically as you need it.

    • High speed of SQL operations due to a unique design of Exadata with offloading of SQL processing to storage cells
    • Built-in High Availability of a DB server due to it's base architecture of a multi-node Oracle Real Application Cluster
    • High overall sever performance due to its use of a proprietary "Smart Cache" feature utilizing a high speed flash memory
    • Excellent scalability of a DB server by adding cluster nodes as well as expanding it into a network of serially connected clusters

    Cons
    Oracle
    • It is very expensive product. But not to mention, there's good reasons why it is expensive.
    • The product should support more cloud based services. When we made the decision to buy the product (which was 20 years ago,) there was no such thing to consider, but moving to a cloud based data warehouse may promise more scalability, agility, and cost reduction. The new version of Data Warehouse came out on the way, but it looks a bit behind compared to other competitors.
    • Our healthcare data consists of 30% coded data (such as ICD 10 / SNOMED C,T) but the rests is narrative (such as clinical notes.). Oracle is the best for warehousing standardized data, but not a good choice when considering unstructured data, or a mix of the two.

    • Integrating with different types of databases can be a challenge
    • Having a hardware platform optimized to run specific database software surely comes with a price
    • Single vendor to support same hardware and software will make migrating to different hardware and/or software become a hassle

    Because
    • It is really simple to provision and configure.
    • Does not require continous attention from the DBA, autonomous features allows the database to perform most of the regular admin tasks without need for human intervention.
    • Allows to integrate multiple data sources on a central data warehouse, and explode the information stored with different analytic and reporting tools.

    Understanding Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is really simple, and Autonomous databases are even more. Using shared or dedicated infrastructure is one of the few things you need to consider at the moment of starting provisioning your Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse.

    As I mentioned, I have also worked with Amazon Redshift, but it is not as versatile as Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and does not provide a large variety of products. Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is also more reliable than Amazon Redshift, hence why I have chosen it

    Oracle Exadata Database Machine had the best performance overall hands down. It clearly beat the competition and we were seeing 1000X improvement on SAP HANA. Oracle Exadata Database Machine beat that without us refactoring our code. To achieve that in HANA, we had to refactor the code somewhat. Now this was for our limited POC of 5 use cases. Given the large number of stored procedures we had in Sybase, we need to capture more production metrics but we are seeing incredible performance.

    • Overall the business objective of all of our clients have been met positively with Oracle Data Warehouse. All of the required analysis the users were able to successfully carry out using the warehouse data.
    • Using a 3-tier architecture with the Oracle Data Warehouse at the back end the mid-tier has been integrated well. This is big plus in providing the necessary tools for end users of the data warehouse to carry out their analysis.
    • All of the various BI products (OBIEE, Cognos, etc.) are able to use and exploit the various analytic built-in functionalities of the Oracle Data Warehouse.

    • Single support from a single vendor with both machine and database from Oracle, which is costing us less.
    • With Exadata, we need less technical manpower and less technical support. A business transaction with the integrated and centralized database helps us focus on other business needs.
    • We don't need to buy additional licenses and Hardware for the next 3 to 5 years.
