- Consolidate IT infrastructure onto grids of low-cost, scale-out server and storage modules
- Maximize the quality of service database administrators are able to deliver
- Reduce cost and complexity of meeting service level objectives
- Embrace change in a controlled cost-effective manner
Oracle Database 11g extends Oracle's unique ability to deliver the benefits of grid computing. When Oracle introduced grid computing in 2003, it fundamentally changed the way data centres look and operate, transforming data centres from silos of resources to shared pools of servers and storage. Oracle's revolutionary grid architecture enables all types of applications to scale out server and storage capacity on demand. By clustering low cost commodity servers and storage modules in a grid, organizations are able to improve user service levels, reduce downtime, and make more efficient use of their IT resources. Oracle Database 11g includes an extensive set of new features and enhancements that raises the standard across the board for all types of databases and applications in the areas of:
- Performance and scalability
- High availability and disaster recovery
- Self-management and automation
- Security and compliance
- Business intelligence and data warehousing
- Database application development (for power users and developers)
- Unstructured data management, including XML and spatial data
Oracle Database 11g also introduces five new options:
In-Memory Database Cache - Increases responsiveness and throughput by caching frequently used data in memory.
Real Application Testing - Reduces risk and costs of adopting new technologies, whether it's operating systems, servers, or software.
Total Recall - Provides secure, efficient, easy-to-use and application-transparent solution for long-term storage of historical data.
Active Data Guard - Enhances disaster protection investments by offloading resource intensive operations to a single physical standby database, enhancing overall quality of service.
Advanced Compression - Compresses all types of data, including structured and unstructured data, to help you use resources more efficiently and lower storage costs.
Key Features:
Industry's first Grid-enabled database
In order to make computing a commodity, information needs to be 100% available, at a very low cost. By eliminating single point of failure, automating storage management, enabling capacity on demand and providing the tools (Grid Control) to manage your entire infrastructure, only Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g can get your customers on the road to grid computing.
The fastest & cheapest database for OLTP applications
Oracle Database 10g was the world's first database to surpass the 1 million transactions-per-minute barrier on a single server. Only a few weeks later, Oracle with Real Application Clusters and HP achieved a new world record with 1.18 million transactions per minute, at only $5.52 per tpmC. This reduced cost using the same number of processors demonstrates how Real Application Clusters reduces the cost of computing.
The world's fastest database for data warehouse applications
The largest data warehouses run on Oracle, because it scales and provides excellent performance while satisfying the most sophisticated queries against the largest amounts of data. And we have the high-end multi-terabyte benchmarks (tpcH) and customers to prove it. Understand your business and customers better by making timely, well-informed decisions faster than ever before.
Highest security
Besides the products and options that let you easily define who has access to your data and who has not (Label Security, Virtual Private Database, Enterprise User Security), Oracle Databases have now achieved 19 successful evaluations by independent security firms. These evaluations examine Oracle's secure coding practices and the code of our products, to ensure there are no open doors to malicious code and hacker's attacks.
24x7 availability
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition provides the highest availability and a rich feature set for online maintenance and fast disaster recovery. Furthermore, it offers self-managing features and centralized management with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control.
Self managing database
In Oracle Database 11g, many routine manual installation, configuration and management tasks have been removed making it easier then ever to manage Oracle Databases. Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control allows management of entire server farms and the applications running on them from one all-encompassing console.
