Exadata and Database Machine Administration Workshop

Cel szkolenia

This course covers two main subject areas:

The first section introduces students to Exadata Storage Server X2-2 (formerly known as Exadata Storage Server Version 2). Students learn about the architecture and key capabilities of Exadata along with how to configure, monitor and optimize it. The topics are reinforced through the student’s participation in structured hands-on lab exercises.

The second section introduces students to Oracle Exadata Database Machine. Students learn about the various Database Machine configurations. The installation and configuration process is covered so that students are equipped to make appropriate up-front configuration decisions. They also learn how to maintain, monitor and optimize Database Machine after initial configuration. Students are introduced to various options for migrating to Database Machine and learn how to select the best approach. Where possible, the topics are reinforced through the student’s participation in structured hands-on lab exercises. There will also be some demonstrations included with the course.
