Starbucks 1TB cube in production

Check out the customer snapshot Oracle has published which describes the success Starbucks Coffee has achieved by moving their data warehouse to the Exadata platform, leveraging the Oracle Database OLAP Option and Oracle BIEE at the front end.    10,000 users in HQ and across thousands of store locations now have timely accurate and calculation rich information at their fingertips.

By delivering extreme performance combined with the architectural simplicity and sophisticated multidimensional calculation power of the in-database analytics of the Database, Starbucks use of OLAP has enabled some outstanding results. Together with the power of other Oracle Database and Exadata benefits such as Partitioning, Hybrid Columnar Compression, Storage Indexes and Flash Memory, Starbucks is able to handle the constant growth in data volumes and end-user demands with ease.

A great example of the power of the "Disk To Dashboard" capability of Oracle Business Analytics.
