Register for this event and discover how Oracle application grid products enable cogent disaster recovery strategies with embedded high-availability features.
Want to hear about the latest in Oracle Fusion Middleware's application grid strategy within the financial services industry and learn how Oracle application grid products and solutions can help your organizations meet extremely stringent SLA's while tremendously improving IT agility and lowering operational costs?
Listen to an Oracle application grid customer, VocaLink, discuss its payment processing platform - the primary infrastructure supporting its business, its architecture and implementation with Oracle technology, and results achieved.
Cloud computing, green computing, and consolidation are the three key mandates for the modern data center. An application grid approach provides the ability to dynamically allocate resources providing the elasticity required for cloud-based infrastructures. It significantly automates the process of adding, reducing, or modifying existing IT deployments in support of highly scalable systems that have less downtime and lower resource consumption, leading to more efficient and greener data centers. Learn how Oracle application grid products, including Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence, can help with a cloud implementation or in making the data center greener and more efficient by drastically reducing data center sprawl and driving down operational costs.

Happy Holidays everyone! If you have kids, one thing you may be anticipating for tomorrow (with dread or excitement, depending on your geek quotient) is assembly—putting together all those toys Santa brings that say “some assembly required” (the meaning of “some” appears not to be regulated by any industry standard, but I digress…). From the fairly straightforward verb assemble arose an interesting noun assembly, which has come to mean the product that results from assembling. You can think of an assembly in the context of manufacturing as a component that has been assembled but which is not yet a complete item—it may have other things added to it, or it may itself be incorporated into something else. Think of a chassis assembly that gets incorporated into a car, or the pedestal assembly when putting together a piece of furniture, or the backboard-and-hoop assembly when putting together your kid’s basketball net.
The assembly metaphor can be used in a powerful way in the context of building and deploying distributed applications. In many cases, an enterprise software application is not a single, self-contained entity that runs on a single physical server but is rather a composite of many different entities distributed across different machines. Think of a typical application with a couple of Web servers handling the front end, a cluster of application servers running the core logic, and a cluster of database servers managing the data. Every time you build an application like this you have to recreate a fairly generic part of that topology and then add the specific modules that are unique to your application. Now imagine how powerful it would be if someone had factored out the common underlying part of that topology into a pre-built assembly, to which you the application builder just add your unique application code and then deploy. The pre-built assembly is already tested and thus takes out of the picture much of the configuration time and error risk related to deployment.
Oracle Assembly Builder does exactly this—it packages up the foundation-level pieces of a distributed application topology into an assembly that can be later configured and/or added to and then deployed. This is all about making deployment faster and easier. For enterprises creating platform-as-a-service (PaaS) private clouds, assemblies are powerful components to put into the platform to be used by cloud tenants in creating their applications. Some (but not too much) assembly required. Happy Holidays everyone!

Oracle’s solutions team recently published the Enterprise Solutions Cookbook. Here’s a short description:
Today's businesses operate in a rapidly changing climate that demands an unprecedented level of adaptation and innovation. These conditions place equally unprecedented burdens on IT departments, which must now deliver solutions in months rather than years. And those solutions must themselves be flexible enough to support continuous adaptation to an ever-evolving, ever-expanding marketplace. The Enterprise Solution Cookbook article series was created to provide architects and IT leaders with an up-close and personal view of ten real-world IT solutions that meet those criteria.
Listen to an expert panel from Italy's Ministry of Education, Universities, and Research (MIUR), HP services, and Oracle as it relates the process undertaken to go from legacy to modern systems. Businesses spend over 80% of IT budget on legacy systems -- money that is not spent on innovation.
The legacy mainframe systems at the Italian Ministry of Education were posing major issues with flexibility and costs. Managing more than 1 million employees and 8 million students, MIUR's IT systems provide critical services at the state, provincial, and school levels.
HP and Oracle managed the end to end transformation for MIUR to an open, flexible system with Oracle applications running on top.
The new version 10.3.2 release of WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 includes a Technical Preview of WebLogic SCA. In WebLogic SCA, you can write Java applications using Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) and expose components as SCA references and services, using SCA semantics configured in a Spring application context.
WebLogic SCA applications run seamlessly in WebLogic Server (via the WebLogic SCA Runtime) and can be used as components in Oracle SOA composites.
