Running Applications on Oracle Exadata: Tuning Tips & Techniques 1st Edition

I thought this could be a very good reference book for non exa to exa migration but I am not satisfied.

Excellent book.

This is a great book for technical managers who want to and need to understand the nature of this server technology. It's a DBA teaser at best.

Got this book over the holidays. This book is fantastically written keeping Applications in mind. Exadata has so many components, even the best of DBAs at times, find Exadata bit tricky. The author has done a great job - very succinctly written.This book covers many topics related to running Applications on Exadata which are not covered anywhere, for example: the chapter leveraging Exadata features contains so many useful tips which are not documented anywhere. Sizing Exadata always used to be a secret, the author does full justice in explaining sizing in a lucid manner.This book covers everything from Exadata basics to advanced topics like Consolidation, Resource Management, Monitoring, Administering, Backups and so on. The author has dedicated one section with sample commands for CellCLI which is really helpful.

This book is very well researched and well presented. I am very impressed the way this book is written, very much focused, to the point, covering everything about Exadata in an incredibly easy to read fashion.This book is written keeping Applications in mind, It is a must for anyone who is planning to Implement Applications on Exadata. It has so many awesome tips and techniques of running Apps on Exadata which is not mentioned anywhere else.The best part is this book is not at all bulky unlike other books which make reading scary. Those who are new to Exadata will find this book Extremely useful. It covers everything on Exadata.

This book is a must read for application customers. This book contain everything you need to know about Exadata. The author has done a great job of giving real life examples and case studies which makes it easier to relate implementation in your environment. The book has taken some complicated scenarios and terminology and explained it in a very simple manner.

The book is delivering a very good insight on how an Exadata machine is working, the specific features (but only few of them), details on how to monitor and backup.But - it is not delivering tuning tips & techniques I've expected.
