Cost Effective Security and Compliance with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 White Paper
Information ranging from trade secrets to financial data to privacy related information has become the target of sophisticated attacks from both sides of the firewall. While most organizations have deployed firewall, intrusion detection, and anti-spam technologies, protecting data now requires a defense-in-depth strategy that enables both preventive and detective controls to enforce security principles such as need-to-know and trust-but-verify. Built upon 30 years of security experience, the Oracle database provides defense-in-depth security controls that enable organizations to transparently protect data.

Increasing ROI with Data Services White Paper
Information is an organization’s key asset—without it all that technology is at risk of being expensive unused “plumbing.” But as the sheer amount and complexity of the data collected by the typical company increases, it becomes increasingly challenging to access and use that data in a timely and efficient manner. That data’s value is inextricably tied to the overall return on investment (ROI) of IT. Increasing that data’s accessibility and agility creates an enormous amount of business value. This white paper will address data services implementation and the role of Oracle Data Service Integrator in that process. It will describe the technical benefits of a data services implementation within the context of initiatives to promote business process management (BPM), service-oriented architecture (SOA), portal projects, and business intelligence (BI).

Making the Business Case for Data Center Consolidation White Paper
A combination of compute density, the need for improved management efficiencies, energy conservation and information quality has driven the issue of data center consolidation to the top of every CIO’s agenda. Typically organisations have often responded to these challenges by employing server virtualisation solutions. However, this paper will argue that though virtualisation has brought undoubted benefits, it is not the only solution available to organisations, particularly when it comes to guaranteeing availability and the need to reduce management costs. We will show that next-generation grid-based solutions are now available that can help address the issue of data center consolidation, without compromising on the need to guarantee uptime. These latest solutions have been specifically designed for grid computing, delivering a high quality of service to business processes at lower costs, creating a single IT infrastructure that can be shared by those multiple business processes....

Maximum Application Performance White Paper
One of the greatest challenges a merchant can face is dissatisfied customers. But what happens when customers are happy with the merchandise, but they are frustrated because they're unable to complete an online purchase? For e-commerce to work, the user experience is a crucial factor. Applications that create the shopping experience, from interactive catalogs to shopping carts to payment systems, must operate at peak efficiency. Often, the monitoring tools used to track commercial Web sites are unable to catch but the most basic of problems. When using multiple tools to monitor these sophisticated infrastructures, each tool supplies limited information, leading to situations where you see "green" status for individual components such as servers and databases, but users are still running into problems, causing them to abandon on-line shopping carts. The solution: Oracle Enterprise Manager, an IT management solution with powerful performance diagnostic and management capabilities ...

Oracle IT Modernization: The Path to SOA White Paper
More and more organizations are looking to service-oriented architecture (SOA) as the basis of their future computer architecture. Recognizing that legacy application design and implementation approaches have led to applications that are costly to operate and maintain, hard to change, and rely on a dwindling set of skills, organizations are hoping that SOA provides a key component of the answer to these problems. At the same time organizations are asking three important questions: Since I hear different things, what exactly is SOA, anyway? If I use it, how is it going to help my organization eliminate cost, increase agility, deal with dwindling legacy skill sets, and address compliance? Given that it has value, how do I get there? This white paper addresses all three of these questions.

The Department of Defense and Open Source Software White Paper
Many major software companies, including Oracle, utilize Open Source software in their products. Most commercial software is actually blended software: software that is sold under a different licensing terms from Open Source, but is probably built using a variety of Open Source components. In this paper we ask two questions: Should the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) deploy substantial amounts of software based on a community development model, in lieu of commercial software, in support of their service-oriented architecture requirements? Is a community-based software development approach a viable strategy for large-scale service-oriented architecture deployments, especially in the DoD?

Rapid Bottleneck Identification - A Better Way to do Load Testing Video White Paper
You’re ready to launch a critical Web application. Ensuring good application performance is crucial, but time is short. How can you optimally test the application and still meet your deadlines?

Developed through years of testing engagements across all types of platforms, the RBI methodology dramatically reduces load testing cycles while allowing more—and more thorough—testing.
