You can make use of the integrated database-specific IP, helping you have a test and development appliance.

Before this, Oracle customers needed to use around five to seven times as many systems to get into test and development in order to thoroughly test different aspects of their application. You need this many systems for different testing stages such as user acceptance testing, stress testing and integration testing. As you can imagine, it can be time consuming and costly to create and maintain all of these test and development systems.

With the new software, you can get quick snapshots of both the virtual machines and databases in your system so that you can create and provision test and development environments. This helps ensure that you have better applications and even faster time to market. What’s more, the Appliance Manager also helps you use your disk space in an efficient manner, by using copy on write technology for the snapshots.

Exalytics is for analytics, and Exalogic is for middleware.
