Historically, specialized database computing platforms were designed for a particular workload, such as Data
Warehousing, and poor or unusable for other workloads, such as OLTP. Exadata specializes in mixed workloads sharing system resources with resource management features for prioritization, such

as favoring workloads servicing interactive users over reporting and batch. Long running requests, characterized by Data
Warehouses, reports, batch jobs and Analytics, are reported to run many times faster compared to a conventional, non-Exadata database server.

Fully elastic pay-per-use architecture. Users specify the cores and storage capacity needed, reducing entry-level infrastructure costs for
Exadata Database Service and aligning costs with usage

As the platform has been around since 2008, Oracle has published information related to the end-of-support for older
Exadata generations. In Oracle's published document titled
