Exalytics Press Release
Customers
► American Capital
► Siemens
► Papa John’s
► Capabilities on both the infrastructure and functional side
► Ranzal has deep experience with Linux, the underlying OS of Exalytics; has
installed numerous times internally, as well as for clients.
► We’ve demonstrated to our customers that they can achieve better performance
using Exalytics than traditional hardware. In one example, a Process that took 8
Hours to complete took only 1.5 Hours on the Exalytics box.
► We’ve demonstrated we can virtualize the platform using Oracle Virtual Manager
(OVM). For example, this allows a customer to share Dev/Test on one box vs
having one dedicated one per environment.
► Using OVM a customer can now develop/test a new version of EPM on the same
hardware without having to have a costly hardware and install outlays.
