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...

https://blogs.oracle.com/infrastructure/oracle-exadata:-ten-years-of-innovation)How much is your time, or your employees’ time, worth? That’s a question you may want to think about when evaluating your database server infrastructure. Until we are all running Autonomous Databases, it’s going to require some effort to manage your database environments. As anyone who follows Oracle knows, Autonomous Database is now a reality—if you are ready to move to the cloud. But since you...

“Many people think about 5G as just new base station technologies and a new radio technology. That’s a narrow view that shows a very flawed understanding of the technology. I see 5G as a foundational layer for the digital transformation of industries and consumer lifestyles,” explains Peter Jarich, head of mobile operator research firm GSMA Intelligence. With 5G rolling out globally over the next months and years, this next wave in mobile technology offers greater speed,...

What do you think your company’s CFO would prefer: more coffee breaks for the finance team, or more analysis? At China’s Kingold Group, a multi-industry conglomerate with more than 10,000 employees and business operations across Australia, China, and Europe, one critical financial report used to take about 12 minutes to run. That was enough time for a quick coffee break. This and other time-consuming processes meant that reports would be run less frequently than was optimal,...
