Our platform technologies are designed to provide a cost-effective, standards-based, 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 platform technologies help them achieve this goal.
Our platform technologies are designed to accommodate demanding, non-stop business environments using clustered middleware and database
servers and storage. These clusters are designed to scale incrementally as required to address our customers’ IT capacity requirements, satisfy

based file sharing and collaboration, intuitive business analysis and reporting, and mobile device connectivity.
We believe our PaaS offerings are a large opportunity for us to expand our software and cloud business. We believe customers increasingly
recognize the value of access to Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Java via a low cost, rapidly deployable, flexible and
interoperable services model that we manage and maintain on their behalf. We believe we can market and sell our PaaS offerings to our
extensive installed base of database and middleware customers, and current and future users of our popular Java software development language,
among others.
