Database and Middleware Software
Our database and middleware software consist of a range of license and subscription based offerings that are designed to provide a cost-
effective, high-
performance platform for running and managing business applications for midsize businesses, as well as large, global enterprises.
Our customers are increasingly focused on reducing the total cost of their IT infrastructure and we believe that our software offerings help them

database servers and storage. These clusters are designed to scale incrementally as required to address our customers’ IT capacity, satisfy their
planning and procurement needs, support their business applications with a standardized platform architecture, reduce their risk of data loss and
IT infrastructure downtime and efficiently utilize available IT resources to meet quality of service expectations.
Database Software
Oracle Database software is the world’s most popular enterprise database software. It is designed to enable reliable and secure storage, retrieval
and manipulation of all forms of data, including: transactional data, business information and analytics; semi-structured and unstructured data in
the form of weblogs, text, social media feeds, XML files, office documents, images, video and spatial images; and other specialized forms of
data, such as graph data. Oracle Database software is used for a variety of purposes, including packaged applications and custom application
development for transaction processing, data warehousing and business intelligence and as a document repository or specialized data store.
A number of optional add-
on products are available with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition software to address specific customer requirements.
In the areas of cloud computing and consolidation, we offer a new Oracle Multitenant software option. In the areas of performance and
scalability, we offer Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, Oracle Advanced Compression and Oracle
Partitioning software options. In the area of data security, we offer Oracle Advanced Security, Oracle Database Vault, Oracle Audit Vault and
Database Firewall software options.
In addition to Oracle Database, we also offer a portfolio of specialized database software products to address particular customer requirements,
including:

subscription based arrangements. These products are designed to form a reliable and scalable foundation on which customers can build, deploy,
secure, access and integrate business applications and automate their business processes. Built with Oracle’s Java technology platform, Oracle
