Yes. Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software license is needed in order to take full advantage of Oracle Exadata storage. Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software is licensed per Disk. For example, you will need 12 ‘Disks’ of Exadata Storage Server Software for each unit of the Sun Exadata Storage Server Hardware. These Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software licenses can be bought as a perpetual license or a term license. These licenses are transferable to other Exadata Storage Server Hardware units.
