Centroid, an Oracle Platinum Partner, will open their Exadata Center of Excellence (COE) on May 1, 2011. Now, in addition to Oracle Applications and Database expertise, Centroid's clients will have access to the strengths of the Exadata platform that can deliver business benefits to their organization through Centroid's deployment, implementation, management and migration expertise.

The Oracle Exadata Database Machine offers an unparalleled integrated hardware/software database performance solution combined with maximum database-tier consolidation opportunities, outstanding capacity management capabilities, and improved database manageability.  

To help customers who have extreme performance demands, Centroid will evaluate the benefits of Exadata for their environment, map their business goals to Exadata solution opportunities, measure return-on-investment with Exadata and help quantify the total cost of ownership of an Exadata enterprise solution. Centroid will plan, deploy and manage the migration of their clients' critical database systems to Oracle Exadata by utilizing the Exadata Implementation and Migration Methodology (EIMM).

Jim Brull, Managing Partner at Centroid, said, "We are unique in that within our infrastructure practice we have very far-reaching expertise with the work we've done in Enterprise Architecture design and platforming initiatives. Using the full power of our in-house Exadata machine and fully trained and certified resources, we will show our clients how to take their Oracle e-Business Suite, Siebel, Data Warehouse, and OLTP applications and target those for Exadata."

"When a customer makes a decision to implement or to move forward with an Exadata solution, typically they will be tasked with moving their existing database or databases to the Exadata.
