Recently a colleague of mine (Kumar) and myself were facing a scenario where we needed to provide a solution providing disaster recovery (DR) functionality between two OCI regions.  It is a fairly common requirement to support some sort of disaster recovery (DR) between different geographical locations.  It has been a common practice in traditional enterprise data centers for years and has not changed with the adoption of cloud technologies.  Indeed, as cloud consumption has...

By Emma Thomas and Michael J. Sullivan Introduction For many situations the choice of marketing platforms is clear. Given that it is well suited to companies that send large amounts of email, push, or SMS messages Responsys lends itself well for Business-to-Consumer (B2C) marketing. Eloqua with its deep integration with CRM, provision for comprehensive Sales + Campaign ROI Analytics, and large ecosystem of training & 3rd party extensions is a clear fit for...

Using 3rd-Party Security Virtual Appliances in OCI

OCI offers a very robust and high-performance network firewall that's integrated into the very core of the Virtual Cloud Network (VCN).  For some customers, this is sufficient, while other customers need more from their cloud security than is provided natively with the OCI VCN.  Some environments need application-level inspection (such as URL filtering, malware inspection, etc.) while others just need the ability to view traffic flows for traffic traversing their cloud...

TL;DR: Oracle DB + Oracle Data Mining + Oracle R Enterprise = Database Advanced Analytics (OAA) The Database Advanced Analytics option allows running Machine Learning algorithms within the database itself. The on-prem flavor of OAA is available as part of database Enterprise Edition 12c and upward releases. In OPC, OAA is available as part of DBCS High Performance Edition in OCI Classic, a High Performance Edition of DB System in OCI, and as part of Autonomous Data Warehouse...

Oracle has had a long history with graph technologies, with support of RDF Triplestores going back more than ten years. During that period property graphs were introduced to big data solutions and more recently to Oracle RDBMS as well. All graph technology at Oracle are available via the Spatial & Graph product line, which extends Oracle RDBMS and Big Data. While there is a lot of competition out there in the graph space, nobody has a more scalable, more performant offering...

Functions-as-a-Service - What SOA Should Have Been

Introduction It wasn’t that many years ago that service-oriented architecture (SOA) was the hot, new, bleeding edge enterprise computing paradigm. Most organizations and vendors jumped on that bandwagon and everything became “service-oriented”. Organizations and vendors both made great claims about how SOA would revolutionize the way applications were built, the amount of reuse that would be achieved, and how application time to market would be greatly reduced. In addition,...

1. Introduction In very simplistic terms Machine Learning is the science of getting computers to learn, without being explicitly programmed. So, how do computers learn? They learn, just like we do, through experience. They perform a task, measure its performance and with experience, improve the performance. Tom Mitchell, a professor at CMU, describes Machine Learning as "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and...

Introduction This document will walk you through how to configure Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) replication between On-Premises Oracle Database to an Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS) on Oracle Public Cloud (OPC) using Virtual Private Network as a Service (VPNaaS). The VPNaaS is another way Oracle provides VPN connectivity between On-Premises and OPC. For a list of available options for VPN GGCS connectivity between On-Premises and OPC, you can check the previous article...
