Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's the best platform to run Oracle Database. You can consolidate all your DB workload to Exadata and it will perform much better than other platforms. We got almost a 3-5x boost on Exadata. It is one of the best and easy to manage platforms and gives full control to DBA. Backup and restore of Database is also easier, simpler, and faster.

Pros

It runs analytical workloads much faster.
The HCC compression helps to reduce the storage cost and increase storage efficiency
Ideal platform to consolidate database.

Cons

It's difficult to find the cons.
Entry cost may be high but if you compare overall cost with performance, then it's not a big factor.
It does not support legacy database version.

Likelihood to Recommend

The machine is best suited for data warehouses and analytical workloads, and with new features it even provides better performance on OLTP as well. It keeps improving with every version and getting better and better day by the day. The DBAs will enjoy the full control of the system and enhance their skills. It's best for OLTP and DWH.
