Containers
Throughout the Stack
Containers are a mainstay of enterprise computing today because
companies in this digital economy need an easier way to deploy
applications. But cloud computing suppliers aren't all equal when
it comes to container strategy, Oracle's John Fowler
explains. At Oracle, "we diverge strongly from just
having containers at the application level. We also have containers
at our middleware and database levels," Fowler says. "But the
interesting and powerful part is that the containers in the
middleware and database stack understand those pieces of software.
So the whole administrative model is natural to the database as
opposed to being separate."
In Oracle Database 12c, for example, the container concept
is integrated, making it much more efficient to create and manage
databases. The goal: containers you can trust for stability and
security, so you can stay focused on speedy innovation. |

Measuring Value in the Digital Age: Finance's Role
When Oracle made its dramatic business model shift to the cloud,
Oracle's finance team was called on to help craft new key
performance indicators (KPIs). "Bookings, provisioning, lead times,
renewals, contract base, contract length, churn rates, billing
requirements, and waterfall schedules were just some of the KPIs we
examined," says Ivgen Guner, senior vice president, Global Business
Finance. Get Guner's step-by-step guide for creating a
"change-agile" finance group that's ready for business
model disruption. |
Application User Experience Must Reflect Corporate
Culture
A cloud application's design must not only be beautiful, but also
must promote acceptance and participation, says Jeremy Ashley,
Oracle's UX group leader. How? "The answer lies in simplicity. An
application's user experience should help you identify your most
important tasks and do them quickly and easily." Learn more from
Ashley about how Oracle drives the continuous visual
evolution of its cloud products. |
