response time and using 10 times fewer disks. And with Exadata Hybrid Columnar
Compression the size of data warehousing tables can be reduced by an average of 10
times, and archive tables by up to 50 times. This offers significant savings on disk space
for primary, standby and backup databases, and will dramatically improve the
performance of data warehousing queries.
