We also offer Oracle Cloud Marketplace, which is a global marketplace that is designed to allow partners to publish applications and for
customers to browse through and discover new solutions to address their business needs.
Oracle and Customer Cloud Environments
Oracle database and middleware software, application software, cloud infrastructure, hardware systems and related services are the building
blocks of our own cloud services, our partners’ cloud services and our customers’ cloud IT environments. Our software and hardware products
and services—including Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java, and Oracle Engineered Systems—are used for cloud platforms and
are designed to be interoperable and provide a shared and elastically scalable platform for consolidating existing applications and developing and
deploying new applications. Our software and hardware products are also used for cloud infrastructures and are designed to support diverse
application requirements, dynamic resource pooling, elastic scalability and rapid application deployment through application-aware
virtualization and management capabilities. Oracle Enterprise Manager is one of our offerings used to manage cloud environments.
Oracle Engineered Systems
Oracle Engineered Systems are core building blocks for Oracle’s data center and cloud computing offerings. These pre-integrated products are
designed to be upgraded effectively and efficiently and to simplify routine maintenance by providing a single solution for software patching.
They are tested before they are shipped to customers and delivered ready-to-run, enabling customers to shorten the time to production. Oracle’s
Engineered Systems include:
5
•
Oracle Exadata Database Machine, a family of integrated software and hardware products that combines our database, storage and
operating system software with our server, storage and networking hardware and is designed to provide a high performance database
system for online transaction processing and data warehousing applications;
•
Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, an engineered system that combines Oracle Fusion Middleware software with our server, storage and
networking hardware to run Java and non
-
Java applications and provide customers with an applications platform for cloud computing;
•
Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine, a single server that is designed to be configured for in-
memory analytics for business intelligence
workloads;
•
Oracle SuperCluster,
a general purpose engineered system that combines the optimized database performance of Oracle Exadata storage
and the accelerated middleware and application processing of the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud on a SPARC/Solaris platform;
•
Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance , an engineered system delivering converged infrastructure for virtualized environments that is
designed to be simple to use, rapidly deployable and capable of running almost any application built upon Linux, Microsoft Windows or
Oracle Solaris operating systems;
•
Oracle Database Appliance, an integrated, fault resilient system of database, operating system and virtualization software, servers,
storage and networking hardware in a single box that is designed to deliver high-availability database services for a wide range of
homegrown and packaged online transaction processing (OLTP) and data warehousing applications;
•
Oracle Big Data Appliance, a scalable, engineered system designed for acquiring, organizing and loading unstructured data into an
Oracle database and integrating the key components of a big data platform such as Hadoop and Oracle NoSQL Database in order to
reduce data risks in comparison to custom
-
built solutions; and
•
Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-BA , a purpose-
built backup appliance, specifically tuned for engineered systems, that is designed to ensure the
highest levels of backup and recovery performance while removing the need for third
-
party software and data reduction systems.
