Oracle In-Memory Database (IMDB) Cache enables you to improve application transaction response time by caching the performance-critical subset of tables and table fragments from an Oracle database to the application tier. Caching data using IMDB Cache is superior to other caching techniques as it brings full relational functionality, incremental scalability coupled with location transparency, stellar performance, and automatic maintenance of data consistency. Read this white paper to learn how Oracle In-Memory Database Cache significantly reduces response time, while improving overall application throughput, by bringing data closer to the application, and by processing queries in an in-memory database.

The increasingly sophisticated nature of information theft, and the continued emergence of new data privacy protection regulations worldwide, requires strong data security. Effective information security starts by protecting data at the source—the databases in which it resides. Historically most organizations have relied on network perimeter and application level security to restrict access to sensitive data, leaving their databases and the sensitive information inside exposed. With Oracle Database 11g powerful privileged user and multi-factor access control, data classification, transparent data encryption, auditing, monitoring, and data masking, organizations can deploy reliable data security solutions that do not require any changes to existing applications, minimizing the costs associated with regulatory compliance and the deployment of strong internal controls.

Businesses today increasingly need to leverage a unified database platform to enable the deployment and consolidation of all their applications onto one common infrastructure. Whether supporting OLTP, DW or mixed workloads, a common infrastructure delivers the efficiencies and reusability the data center needs—and provides the reality of cloud computing in-house. This white paper examines how the Sun Oracle Exadata Storage Server allows companies to accelerate database performance, handle change and growth in scalable and incremental steps, and deliver mission-critical data availability and protection.

Businesses now demand more information, they want it sooner, and they are delivering more analytics to an ever-widening set of users and applications. The sizes of data warehouses are growing exponentially and more business processes are becoming automated, while more data is collected on more granular levels. This white paper provides an overview of Oracle's capabilities for data warehousing, and discusses the key features and technologies by which Oracle-based business intelligence and data warehouse systems easily integrate information, perform fast queries, scale to very large data volumes and analyze any data.

As the use of IT-enabled services becomes more prevalent, modern enterprises have become increasingly dependent on their IT infrastructure and its continuous availability. Application downtime and unavailability of data directly translates into lost productivity and revenue, dissatisfied customers, and tarnished corporate image. This white paper reviews the common causes of application downtime and discusses Oracle's Maximum Availability Architecture framework that provides clear and concise guidance on implementing best practices using Oracle's proven high availability technologies.

Advanced Compression with Database 11g Release 2 helps you manage more data in a cost-effective manner. With data volumes, on average, tripling every two years, Oracle Advanced Compression delivers compression rates of 2-4x across all types of data and applications. Read this white paper to learn more about how Oracle Advanced Compression can help you reduce the disk space and costs of managing large data volumes.

Efficient business operations, high-quality customer service, conformity to government regulations, and safeguarding corporate information assets all require the highest possible level of data protection and data availability. Traditional data protection and disaster recovery (DR) solutions have proven unable to deliver aggressive recovery objectives. Read this white paper to learn about a unique data protection and recovery solution that provides the management, monitoring, and automation software to create synchronized standby databases that protect data from failures, disasters, errors, and corruptions, while addressing both the high availability and disaster recovery requirements of today's demanding business environment.

Change is relentless in today's rapidly evolving IT environments. But it doesn't have to be difficult for data center managers and administrators. Oracle Real Application Testing helps organizations reduce their testing effforts by giving DBAs and system administrators an easy-to-deploy solution for testing and rolling out data center changes. This white paper discusses how Real Application Testing—with Oracle Database 11g Release 2—allows businesses to quickly adopt new technologies while eliminating the risks associated with change.

Real Application Clusters with Oracle Database 11g, enables a single database to run across a cluster of servers, providing unbeatable fault tolerance, performance, and scalability with no application changes necessary. This white paper provides a technical overview of Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g Release 2 with an emphasis on the features and functionality that can be implemented to provide the highest availability and scalability for your enterprise applications.

By deploying Oracle Database 11g within their IT architecture, organizations can leverage the power of the world's leading database to reduce their server and storage costs and improve quality of service. Read this white paper to get an overview of the Oracle Database family of products and learn how you can transform your business, budgets, and service levels with Oracle Database 11g Release 2.
