They also represent a significant part of your IT spend, so optimizing deployment is key. Oracle Database Appliance is a fully integrated solution purpose-built and optimized for Oracle Database and applications, speeding deployment, reducing risk, and providing capacity on demand to reduce licensing costs. Announced at Oracle OpenWorld...

There has been a lot of hype since Intel introduced Optane persistent memory (PMEM). To cut through the confusing vendor assertions requires a brief overview of what PMEM is and what it is not. Optane PMEM comes in two flavors. The first is a non-volatile memory dual inline memory module (NVDIMM). The second is a NVMe SSD form factor more commonly called storage class memory (SCM). The Optane PMEM value comes from lower latency, higher performance than NAND Flash, with...

By Marc Staimer Ground-breaking changes are happening on the edge of computing. We’re long past the days when all analytics can be centralized in datacenters or even in the cloud. It’s an increasingly decentralized world where analytics has to take place in real time right where individual sensors are, or in the fog when there’s a need to collect information from multiple devices for fast insights. We recently sat down to talk with renowned technology consultant Marc Staimer...

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to collect and analyze data, and respond, in real time. Think about an autonomous vehicle that encounters an obstacle ahead. There must be a split-second response that determines whether that obstacle is a shadow or a person in the road. In a case like this, there’s no room for error, and no room for latency. Latency, a.k.a. delay, is the enemy of response time. To make this real-time response happen, the...

We spoke with Bryan Amaral, founder and CEO of Clientricity, LLC, a boutique retail consultancy based in Atlanta and New York, to capture his insights on emerging technology trends in retail for both brick-and-mortar stores and ecommerce. Lately, headlines about the retail sector conjure apocalyptic images populated by empty storefronts and deserted shopping malls. But reports of retail’s death are greatly exaggerated, to paraphrase Mark Twain. What’s happening isn’t...

When Oracle announced the release of its Autonomous Database in 2018, DBAs had to wonder how it would change their jobs. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, the Autonomous Database handles patching, upgrades, and tuning; manages its own security needs; and can perform repairs on itself, eliminating human error in the process. What’s left for a DBA to do? Well, the fun stuff: As automation absorbs mundane tasks such as tuning, backups,...

On October 1, 2013, HealthCare.gov launched with much fanfare. An estimated 250,000 users attempted to connect to the system, and it came crashing down. Although a government report identified many different factors that contributed to the failure, ultimately the system was unable to keep up with demand. Most businesses and enterprises will never have to scale their applications to meet demand like that seen by HealthCare.gov, but failure to properly plan capacity can have...

The latest Oracle Exadata X8 is the 9th generation. Every generation has been laser focused at raising the expectations bar for increased performance and automation; reducing database administrator (DBA) expertise, skills, knowledge, and experience requirements; radically reducing wasted time for both the DBA and user; and continually lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO). Each generation has wildly succeeded in raising that bar increasing the distance between Exadata...
