Bringing OCI to Your Data Center: Exadata and Autonomous DB @Customer
What happens when the path to the cloud does not involve a direct migration to OCI public regions? Consider scenarios where, for instance, strict privacy laws, latency constraints, or significant investments in legacy on-premises infrastructure make it impossible for your data to ever leave your local data center. To address this need, Oracle offers dedicated…
Keep readingGlobally Distributed Autonomous DB: Scalability with Auto-Management
In the last post, we explored Autonomous Database Dedicated (ADB-D) and how it delivers absolute physical isolation and corporate compliance on top of Exadata infrastructure, combined with its automation technology. A few weeks ago we also explored the Globally Distributed Exadata Database, detailing how Oracle’s native sharding eliminates the trade-off between geographic latency and data…
Keep readingAutonomous DB Dedicated: Private Exadata with Autonomous Technology
Time to take a quick look at the other side of the Autonomous coin. What happens when your enterprise needs the zero-management overhead of an autonomous database, but your corporate governance, strict compliance, or performance predictability mandates absolute physical isolation? For these scenarios, Oracle offers Autonomous Database Dedicated (ADB-D). While the Shared model democratizes Exadata…
Keep readingAutonomous Database: The Self-Managed Oracle DB in Serverless Model
As mentioned in my last post, let’s review the DB service option where infrastructure complexity and traditional database administration become entirely invisible: Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB). Autonomous Database represents the highest maturity level of the convergent database concept in the cloud. However, to extract maximum value from this technology, it is essential to understand its…
Keep readingFrom Exascale to Global Sharding: Globally Distributed Exadata Database
In my last post, I explored how Oracle Exadata Exascale redefines cloud data elasticity by intelligently decoupling compute from storage. But what happens when your application’s requirements scale past the boundaries of a single region, demanding global scale, ultra-high resilience, and strict data sovereignty compliance? For these mission-critical scenarios, Oracle has introduced a natural evolution to its…
Keep readingRedefining Data Elasticity in the Cloud: Oracle Exadata Exascale
As I mentioned in my last post, let’s take a moment to explore a bit more of the Exa part in the OCI and see what I believe is the next frontier in terms of DB infrastructure: Oracle Exadata Exascale, a breakthrough innovation that decouples Oracle Database and Grid Infrastructure clusters from the underlying physical…
Keep readingOracle Exadata Database Service: Maximum Performance and HA… and More Control
Moving on with the DB options in OCI, as mentioned in the previous post, I’ll provide here a (short) summary about what I’d say to be the best available option for high workloads: the Oracle Exadata Database Service. What Exactly is Oracle Exadata? (If you still doesn’t know it) Before sharing more about this option…
Keep readingOracle Base Database Service: The Foundation of Cloud Databases
In my previous post, I covered the various Oracle Database options available within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). As promised, today I’m going to (bit) dive into what I believe the most fundamental and widely used cloud database option: the Oracle Base Database Service. If you are migrating on-premises workloads to the cloud or building a new…
Keep readingOracle Database Options Available in the OCI
As a first post in this blog, I chose to start with covering the main Oracle Database options available in the OCI. They are many, and suitable for different and specific requirements you may need. Accessing the OCI menu, under Oracle AI Database, we can find the well known Oracle DB deployed in VMs, single…
