Common Platform Challenges What E-Business Suite Customers are Saying Business Velocity “We need to provision apps and services much more quickly and predictably. We also lack the time and resources to upgrade or tweak existing apps. This is affecting our ability to compete.” © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Common Platform Challenges What E-Business Suite Customers are Saying Business Velocity Performance “We need consistent, excellent application performance under widely varied workloads. Nothing ever seems fast enough for our users.” © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Common Platform Challenges What E-Business Suite Customers are Saying Business Velocity Performance Cost “We buy more and more servers and storage yet still can’t get predictable response times. Why can’t my hardware handle it when I implement new functionality?” © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Common Platform Challenges What E-Business Suite Customers are Saying Business Velocity Performance Cost Risk “We have too many moving parts! Our current infrastructure is overly complex and there are too many products and vendors to manage. Too much can go wrong.” © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Common Platform Challenges What E-Business Suite Customers are Saying Business Velocity Performance Cost Risk Scalability “We need to scale quickly and easily to meet seasonal and on-demand spikes while also scaling for ongoing business growth We need IT in lock-step with our business cycles.” © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Reference platform for Oracle Fusion Applications Oracle Exadata and Exalogic Engineered to Work Together Vertically integrated Engineered Systems Exadata Database Machine Optimized for All DB Loads Transactions Batch processing Business Intelligence High Performance Design Smart storage 5 TB flash! Exalogic Elastic Cloud Scalable middleware platform Designed to work with Exadata High speed interconnect I want to re-emphasize that the core theme of the show and our core strategy this year at Oracle is around complete, open integrated, hardware and software systems that are engineered to work together. They are going to deliver you a much better performance, much better reliability, security (because we own all of the elements of the stack) and we can innovate faster because we have engineers working on all of the layers of the stack at the same time. As a result, that means that you ultimately get much lower cost of running your systems. It’s faster to deploy, much easier to maintain, much better price performance than anything else in the industry for what you get. So this is an extremely exciting time I think at Oracle, and I hope that some of these products have piqued your curiosity. So thank you very much for time and attention.

Faster OLTP Performance Faster Batch Processing The Business Value of High Performance Get More Done, Less Business Disruption Improved Customer Service 2.5-3.5x improved response time+ Faster OLTP Performance More Agile Supply Chain Reduce planning cycles by up to 60%** Faster Batch Processing Lower IT Operations Costs 4x more transactions+ Higher Throughput Poor performance impacts the business by disturbing it. Faster OLTP performance – Exalogic/Exadata is showing (performance characterization pending) extreme OLTP performance, delivering more users per core than other systems. This is going to result in more productive users, as they can do more transactions per hour. Our internal testing shows 2.5-3.5x improvement here. Faster batch processing – If a batch processes runs over, it can disrupt other things like order processing since they are often run on the same system. With EL/ED and Ebusiness suite, you will see faster batch processing. In a customer testing, we saw 60% reduction in ASCP planning cycles! More planning, more nimble supply chain. This was a key issue for Sogeti too. Higher throughput – you can put 4x more transactions through an Exa* core vs comparable hardware. Faster backup – With Sogeti, they reduced their time to back up by an astonishing amount. From 4hrs to 4 mins! Reduced Regulatory Risk and Cost Faster Backup Reduced from 4 hours to 4 minutes* * Results from Sogeti implementation of E-Business Suite on Exadata ** Internal testing for a customer on Exadata, with regards to ASCP + Results from internal testing © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Extreme Scalability Dynamic Elasticity: from Single App to Private Cloud Full Rack X2-2 Multi-Rack X2-2 Half Rack X2-2 Quarter Rack X2-2 Private Cloud Deployment Co-location Deployment Customer’s don't have to deploy a Full Rack, or only one rack Field upgrade to go from Quarter Rack to Half Rack or from Half Rack to Full Rack We have designed the networking so that you can scale to 8 Full Racks interconnected with no external switches. You can scale to more racks with external InfiniBand switches, and can scale to 100’s of Full Racks Even when we reach 100’s of racks, every process is equidistant from every other process No performance degradation with additional nodes, even 100’s of racks Built for elastic cloud, grid and scale-out Large Scale EBS Deployment Typical EBS Deployment Seamless hardware upgrade Predictable capacity Unlimited headroom Copyright © 2011 Oracle Corporation 16

Lower Costs E-Business Suite on Exadata and Exalogic CAPEX Scales to my budget Less hardware, more performance Predictable capacity avoids over-provisioning Enables cloud and co-location, reducing hardware footprint CFO Optimizes my operations Save on administration and support costs E-Business Suite on Exadata and Exalogic is going to lower your costs both at purchase time, and also later on. More efficient use of hardware. With E-Business Suite on El/ED, you are going to more efficiently leverage the HW being utilized, you are going to get more users per core and a faster response time. You can co-locate e-business suite instances, reducing your HW footprint. Its common for ebiz customers to have multiple instances of Ebiz running – prod, prod test, dev, test, qa, DR, etc. You can move these instances onto one set of machines. Reducing your HW footprint. This could save money on HW, and licenses You can save on Admin and Server mgmt costs – fewer servers, use of EM is going to drive down these costs Tied to this, if you are using fewer cores for the same number of users – you are going to reduce floor and rack space, plus less energy. Less floor and rack space, lower energy consumption Drastically reduced integration costs OPEX CIO
