Overview
You have made a serious investment in Oracle Exadata. The day it arrives at your data center, you need it racked, cabled, imaged, configured, and validated by people who have done it dozens of times before. A botched installation costs weeks of delay and burns the goodwill of every team waiting on the platform. Viscosity Technology installs and images Oracle Exadata systems across every model line, from quarter racks to full racks, on-premise or at a colocation facility you specify.
Our Exadata Installation and Imaging service is the complete first mile. We coordinate with your facilities team, your network team, and Oracle Advanced Customer Services if needed, and we deliver a fully working Exadata stack ready for your DBA team to start consolidating databases on day one.
- Power, cooling, and floor load verification
- Network port allocation and VLAN plan

- Naming, IP, and DNS pre-allocation
- Patch baseline selection
- Cutover and rollback plan
What We Install
Every layer of an Exadata system has to be brought up in the right order, with the right firmware, at the right patch level. We image and configure Exadata Compute Servers including ILOM and Oracle Linux, Exadata Storage Servers including ILOM and CellOS, the InfiniBand or RoCE switches, the Cisco management switch, and the power distribution units. On top of that we lay down Oracle Grid Infrastructure, Oracle Automatic Storage Management, and Oracle Database 19c or Oracle AI Database 26ai depending on what your applications require.
We also handle the parts that get forgotten on rushed installs. Time synchronization. Email and SNMP alerting. Oracle Enterprise Manager agents. Backup target connectivity. Disaster recovery configuration if a second Exadata is in the picture. The platform leaves our hands fully wired into your operations, not just powered on.
Your Path Through Installation
Day Zero Readiness
Site walk, network plan, and a written readiness report so install day has no surprises.
Rack and Image
Physical install, cabling, OEDA driven imaging, and full stack patching to your chosen baseline.
Validation and Handover
End to end functional testing, monitoring integration, documentation, and a knowledge transfer session.
Why Viscosity Technology
As an Oracle strategic partner with decades of deep Exadata experience, we have installed and imaged engineered systems across every model line in production data centers around the country. We have seen the edge cases that catch first time installers off guard, and we have built repeatable processes for every one of them. When Viscosity Technology installs your Exadata, you get a platform that is ready for production work the day we hand it over, not the day your team finishes fixing what the install missed.
Who This Is For
This service is for any organization taking delivery of a new Oracle Exadata system, expanding an existing Exadata estate with additional racks, or relocating an Exadata to a new data center. It is especially valuable when your internal team has not installed Exadata before, when the install date is tight, or when the platform has to be production ready on a fixed cutover weekend.
