With total installations approaching 2,000 machines in 67 countries across 23 industries, Exadata is the fastest growing product in Oracle’s 32 years of business. The company is seeing significant acceleration in Exadata business with triple digit growth in seven of the past eight quarters.

Chelliah, Vice President, Exadata and Strategic Solutions Oracle Asia Pacific.
