Oracle Messaging Cloud Service
Oracle Messaging Cloud Service is a cloud-based, reliable messaging service that enables communication between software components both
on-premises and in the Oracle Cloud using standard interfaces.
Oracle Database
We license our Oracle Database software to customers, which 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 with packaged applications and custom applications for transaction
processing, data warehousing and business intelligence and as a document repository or specialized data store. Security continues to be a critical
characteristic of the Oracle Database and our latest version, Oracle Database 12c, includes a number of security enhancements and new features
including, among others, encryption of data in motion, conditional auditing, real application security, and transparent sensitive data protection.
All security capabilities available are compatible with Oracle Database 12c’s new Oracle Multitenant architecture option, which enables
customers to quickly and efficiently address the unique security requirements of each of their database instances.
A number of optional add-
on products are available with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition software to address specific customer requirements,
including:
In addition to Oracle Database, we also offer a portfolio of specialized database software products to address particular customer requirements,
