The gap nobody talks about
84%

of Oracle DBAs cannot explain Smart Scan or ExaCC routing in a real interview — even after years of managing standard databases.

92%

have never touched CellCLI or provisioned a highly available ExaCC infrastructure. They know the theory, but have never experienced cell offloading in a real environment.

11%

land Exadata roles above $110K because hiring managers can sniff out textbook knowledge from practical hardware and cloud exposure within 90 seconds.

We exist because every one of these gaps is solvable in 40 days — if the curriculum is built around real implementation.

The whole picture

What you'll actually build: the entire Exadata infrastructure.

Database Nodes, Cell Storage, and Cloud Control aren't standalone concepts. Real enterprises care about how secure VCNs connect to highly available ExaCC systems. You'll build it.

DB · Module 1

Compute & Network

Master Exadata Compute Nodes, ROCE Fabric, and InfiniBand Networking. Understand Key Differentiators vs Traditional Databases.

CELL · Module 1

Cell Server Architecture

Deep dive into Storage Cells, Flash, Disk Types, and CellCLI. See how Smart Scan reduces I/O and improves performance.

ExaCC · Module 2

Cloud@Customer

Learn ExaCC Deployment Models, Control Plane Responsibilities, VCN Design, and Autonomous Database implementations.

The method

Five pillars. One job-ready Exadata Architect.

01 · The core

Real Enterprise Implementation.

The content is custom-designed by ExaGuru Architects, referencing global customer implementations. You'll master Smart Flash Logging, Write-Back Modes, and Exadata Storage Server internals.

02

Practical Labs.

You don't just watch videos. You'll get hands-on with CellCLI, start/status/stop cell services, work on grid disk creation, and deploy an ADB Free Instance via SQL worksheet.

03

Modern AI Database.

Move beyond standard queries. Learn Oracle 23ai's Vector Databases, Oracle Machine Learning (OML), and AI-Embedded Query Hints for modern performance tuning.

04

40 Days of Mastery.

Structured over 30 days of intensive theory and 10 days of practical labs, complete with high-quality video access through our dedicated LMS portal.

05

Interview Ready.

Simulate real-world technical rounds. Master scenario-based questions, whiteboarding for HA, Data Guard strategies, and OCI IAM Policies.

The curriculum

Four modules. One path to infrastructure mastery.

A 40-day intensive program (1 Hour/Day). Practical lab assignments tied to CellCLI, ExaCC control, and Oracle 23ai features.
