SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ORACLE
OPENWORLD -- Oracle today announced major new innovations
across its data management portfolio that make it easier, faster,
and safer for customers to run their mission critical workloads
everywhere – in the cloud, on-premises, and via Exadata Cloud at
Customer. Oracle continues to deliver the world's most
comprehensive data management solutions, including the industry's
first and only self-driving database, Oracle Autonomous
Database.
"Oracle's passion in helping customers solve tomorrow's problems
through technological investment and innovation is unparalleled,"
said Andrew Mendelsohn, executive
vice president, database server technologies, Oracle. "Our
Autonomous Database sets the bar in the industry, and we're very
excited about introducing many new capabilities across our product
line."
Next-generation innovations include the following:
Expands Autonomous Database Capabilities
— Along with launching four new Cloud regions across four
continents in a single month, Oracle continues to expand the
autonomous capabilities of its self-driving database to help meet
the needs of enterprise customers who want to move their
mission-critical workloads to the cloud. Oracle now offers a
dedicated deployment option for Oracle Autonomous Database. This
new deployment option provides customers with the highest levels of
security, reliability, and operational control for any class of
database workload. Oracle also announced that Oracle Autonomous
Database is experiencing exceptional customer momentum across the
globe within its first year of availability.
Oracle also announced a new release of Enterprise Manager that
provides expanded support for Oracle Autonomous Database. New
guided migrations for Autonomous Database will provide a simplified
experience for customers to move their on-premises workloads to
Oracle Cloud, including Autonomous Database.
Expands Exadata Portfolio — Oracle announced
availability of its Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer and the latest
release of its Exadata platform, Oracle Exadata X8M. Oracle
Generation 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer, with the Cloud Control
Plane deployed in Oracle's Public Cloud, enables organizations to
get all the benefits of Oracle Exadata Cloud delivered securely at
scale in their own data center. Exadata X8M integrates
new cutting-edge technologies, including remote direct memory
access over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) as the high-bandwidth
low-latency network fabric, and Persistent Memory Accelerator,
using Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory modules. These
technologies, combined with the continuous innovation in Exadata
System Software, enable an Exadata X8M system to deliver 2.5X more
I/Os and 10X lower I/O latency compared to the previous
release.
Additionally, while Exadata serves thousands of Oracle customers
at the core of their business, the new Oracle Database Appliance X8
helps solve their business issues at the edge of a distributed
enterprise and also provides the performance, capacity and business
value required by small and medium organizations.
Accelerates Database Software Innovation – Oracle
Database is expanding its lead in cutting-edge database technology
and previewed key software innovations coming in Oracle Database
20c and Oracle Autonomous Database. These
include a native persistent memory (PMEM) database, Automated
Machine Learning (AutoML), native blockchain tables
for secured transactions, and a binary JSON datatype for
increased performance.
With the introduction of native persistent memory, companies can
accelerate data access across workloads that demand lower latency,
including high frequency trading and mobile communication. AutoML
automatically builds and compares machine learning models at scale,
plus facilitates the use of machine learning by non-experts.
Additionally, Oracle announced a new blockchain table type where
rows are cryptographically chained to provide a secured ledger. The
ledger is easier to use and more functional than existing
blockchain implementations, as blockchain tables can participate in
transactions and queries with other tables.
Enables Developers — Continuing its strategy to make
its database accessible to developers around the world, Oracle
announced that Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure are now also available as Always Free services for
developers, students, educators and organizations to build, learn
and explore. Always Free Autonomous Database comes with a rich set
of developer capabilities for free with Autonomous Database,
including Oracle Application Express (APEX), Oracle SQL Developer
Web, and Oracle REST Data Services.
Automates Protection of Customer Data — Oracle Data Safe
is a unified control center for automating database security and
improving visibility into security issues with data, users, and
configuration. Oracle Data Safe provides vital security controls
including monitoring database activity, discovering sensitive data,
and masking databases to minimize or eliminate security risk.
Built from the ground up, leveraging Oracle's decades of database
security experience, Oracle Data Safe helps customers protect their
Oracle Database Cloud services, including Oracle Autonomous
Database. It complements the security features already in Oracle
Autonomous Database, such as always-on encryption and
self-patching. Available now on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle
Data Safe is included with all Oracle Database Cloud
services. For more information read this Oracle blog.
