Title: December 19, 2019: How Convergence Beats Complexity and Enables Data Driven Applications

Duration: 1 hour

Description:

Can you beat complexity with converged infrastructure?

Data-driven applications are the key to digitally transforming enterprises. These applications go beyond simple reporting; they have analytics that understand then predict optimal outcomes so you can point your business in the right direction.

Today, complexity often limits applications. To create data-driven apps, developers need to integrate different data stores (key-value, document, graph, spatial, relational), then create a separate infrastructure for a data lake or warehouse for machine learning. Infrastructure teams struggle with supporting and optimizing all this different technology.

In this session, we will explain how Oracle’s converged hardware and database lets you integrate all of the needed functionality into a single, integrated technology stack so that you can build applications that drive the business forward.

Title: Nov 21, 2019: An Oracle Database Appliance that is Simple, Optimized, and Affordable

Duration: 1 hour

Description:

Can you save time and money by simplifying deployment, maintenance, and support of Oracle database solutions?

Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) is an Engineered System that saves time and money by simplifying deployment, maintenance, and support of Oracle database solutions. Smaller than Oracle Exadata, the ODA contains less storage, less memory, and fewer CPUs. When workload requirements don’t need the capabilities of Oracle Exadata, ODA provides an attractive alternative.

ODA has the unique ability for Capacity-on-Demand software licensing that allows customers the flexibility to only license the cores needed to run the database. The ODA can be deployed as either Bare Metal (database only) or as a Virtualized Platform (database & applications). Also, it provides a quarterly patch bundle that patches the entire system, from the hardware components to Oracle Linux, GRID infrastructure and RDBMS stack.

Join us and learn:
• Where ODA fits within the Oracle Engineered System product line.
• How ODA supports both database and application workloads.
• Technical details of the ODA architecture and capabilities.
