📊 Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer Tip #5: Challenge Oracle’s Sizing Assumptions | Don’t Let Forecasts Inflate Your Cloud Spend

Here’s one of the most effective ways to control costs in your Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer deal: validate Oracle’s sizing assumptions with your own data.

In this video, we cover:

Why Oracle often recommends more OCPUs than your workloads actually need

The value of engaging internal IT teams or third-party experts to run a sizing assessment

How to push back in negotiations when Oracle’s projections appear inflated

💡 Pro tip: If Oracle says you need 100 OCPUs and your analysis says 50, that’s a signal to challenge the deal size and right-size your commitment. Always start with facts, not vendor forecasts.
