Diego, listen to Nigel.
We've been running AIX/Oracle on Power for decades - through many upgrades - and by my experience, there are no other platform that out-performs Oracle on AIX on IBM Power.
We've consulted Niger in many'er occasions out of the goodness of his expert advice.
IBM Support on Oracle is legendary. They've been supporting the AIX/Oracle stack as if they were joint at the hip.
An should we say that Larry Ellison is being a bad boy again with ludicrous licensing ransom. Should I mention licensing Java?. Anyway migrating from Exadata to Power IBM is a good way to stick it to the Ludicrous.

Migrating from Linux to AIX is a bit odd, they should migrate from X5-2 to Power Linux or even S390x Linux.

Hi Community
I have a customer who currently has Exadata X5-2 and requires to migrate that platform to IBM Power servers with flash storage. He is currently using Oracle 11gR2 without RAC.
The customer has doubts about the compatibility and complexity to move these environments and what are the best practices to move from Exadata X5-2 with Oracle Linux Little Endian to IBM Power S1022 with AIX 7.2 Big Endian.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated
