Databases:
Pick Wisely
It's pretty easy these days to grab a database and plug it into
your development project—especially if you don't think too much
about how it will be used down the road, when your beautiful
application gets hammered by millions of users and devices and
mercilessly probed by hackers. The good news is that Andy
Mendelsohn, executive vice president of database server
technologies at Oracle, has been thinking about it—a lot.
Mendelsohn shared with Profit magazine how his team remains
committed to carrying database customers through their toughest
problems, such as security and reliability, while paving their way
to meeting new challenges such as big data and in-memory analytics
and, of course, the transition to the cloud. "Customers trust that
Oracle is going to continue to innovate to remain the #1 database,"
he says. See how Mendelsohn and his
team are guiding customers through these technology transitions and
those that lie ahead. |

Three
Ways to Move On-Premises Workloads to the Cloud
To help minimize the cost of a cloud lift-and-shift while
controlling its scope, Oracle's Steve McMillan proposes three
strategies for gradually transitioning to the cloud. One, move an
entire line of business or business function—such as finance,
sales, or service—to software as a service. Discover the other
two. |
Code Much? Let's Hear from You
Developers face problems that didn't exist even a few years ago:
their apps support millions or billions of users, must stay online
24/7, and are accessed from anywhere on any device. That's why
Oracle is launching a new global event series, called Oracle Code,
for developers. "It's not to talk about products or commercial
solutions," says Bruno Borges, an Oracle product manager and open
source evangelist. "We're focused on providing information that
addresses what developers need to know these days." Learn how
to attend—or speak at—one
of the events. |
Mired in a Cloud Debate? Try 'Cloudification' Instead
Too many public cloud providers have this simple message: start all
over again in my cloud, and never go anywhere else. That's much
harder than it looks. Cloudification—the process of progressively
making an enterprise IT environment more cloudlike—may be a better
choice. Cloudification focuses on the transformational journey, not
the physical location. Learn more, and see a
real-world example from Oracle's Chuck
Hollis. |

service representatives to access. "We need to execute fast, and
the cloud helps us do that," says Javier Rodriguez Pereyra,
marketing director. See how the cloud helps
