Oracle Exadata customers presenting at Oracle Open World
Greg Rahn tweeted a list of Exadata-focused sessions at Oracle Open World next week. As Oracle employees and supporters have been foreshadowing, there will be Exadata users and user-like folks presenting. I identified what look like half a dozen (not counting any who, for example, will make surprise appearances at keynote addresses), specifically:
- Paragon Data GmbH (which seems to be a system integrator and internet services provider)
- Metavante (which seems to be a data mart outsourcer)
- LGR Telecommunications (ditto, and in the Exadata 1 beta program)
- The Hartford, which is an insurance company
- Giant Eagle, which is a supermarket chain
- Allegro Group, which is a Polish online auction company, and one of Oracle’s most accessible Exadata references
By way of comparison, users presenting at Teradata Partners the following week include (partial list):
- Bank of America
- Nationwide Insurance
- Volvo
- Amgen
- Travelers
- Paypal
- eBay
- American Airlines
- AT&T
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Toys R Us
- Nokia
- Intel
- Office Depot
- WellPoint
- Telefónica Chile
- 3M
- Defense Logistics Agency
- Verizon
- FedEx
- Sabre
- LockheedMartin
- Hershey
- Wells Fargo
- Saks Fifth Avenue

I know Softbank (Japanese telco) are presenting as well. However, it’s not really fair to compare presenters from the entire Teradata user base to presenters from the user base of a 1 year old product, which lets face it, is still only a small slice of the overall Oracle DB pie (given that said pie is quite large).
Wow!!! The most successful product launch in the history of Oracle and they have all these quality references….something smells
Well, they’re surely holding back some flashy ones to unveil next week.
The best DBMS testimonial video I’ve ever seen was Apple’s — Steve Jobs personally, and he was brilliant — for Cullinet a quarter-century ago. Maybe Oracle will try to do something of that ilk.
Curt, is there a copy or transcript of that Jobs video you mention? Didn’t find anything obvious on Google.
I doubt it. It was obsolete by 1986 or so, which as you know is a very long time before YouTube.
