Oracle and WEBvalto have a very long tradition of cooperation. For many years, WEBvalto has been an Oracle Partner with a special focus on education. The knowledge and experience of the organization’s employees, including its managing director, was helpful in sharing technology information with educators and their students in collaboration with Oracle Academy and Oracle University.

WEBvalto has organized events with the purpose of discussing specific database and cloud-related topics, spreading awareness of possible usages and cybersecurity. Yearly Guru Party is one example of these, as well as the Oracle Cloud Promotion Event.

This year the Oracle Cloud Promotion Event was opened with a keynote by WEBvalto’s Managing Director, Tamas Kerepes, also a former Oracle employee and Senior Principal Instructor, after which Oracle Academy Program Manager Ljiljana Krkic presented on Oracle Academy and its educational offerings, including the free online educational portal, Member Hub, with various training resources available to Oracle Academy members.

The opening was followed with three presentations, covering interesting topics:

  • The possibilities of databases and cloud-based technologies in education,
  • The role of cloud providers and the use of infrastructure as code in developing students’ practice-oriented thinking,
  • Key areas of cybersecurity in education using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

The conference gathered representatives of education from Hungary together with Oracle customers and partners. A key focus of the event was the Oracle Academy Cloud Program, through which educators and students can teach, learn, explore, build, and develop in the cloud, free of charge. Through the program, Oracle Academy provides access to Oracle Cloud Free Tier to Institutional members and their students―with easy signup, one-time classroom setup, and no maintenance needed. Educators easily can provision student accounts, and classes are up and running in a cloud environment without the need to download, install or maintain software or databases, saving hours of time year over year.

Educators and their students can access always-free Oracle Autonomous Database, Compute Virtual Machines (VM), object storage, data egress, and other essential building blocks. In addition to always-free services, member educators and their students receive US$300 of free credits for one year to prototype applications, run machine learning models in notebooks, or try software from Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

The conference was closed with a networking session with informal discussions and refreshments.
