Five Reasons Why You Should Choose Oracle’s PaaS by Jay Chugh

August 11, 2018 Leave a comment

The Power of Oracle PaaS

From cloud computing discussions, you know that Platform is THE underlying force that turns bright enterprise ideas and prototypes into fully functional applications. It’s the platform that decodes all layers of complexity to rapidly build a new application or cost-effectively modernize an existing application.

The platform offers front-end tooling with various frameworks and languages to tee-up the application logic. It ties in data services such as relational databases, NoSQL databases, Big data platforms such as Hadoop and Spark to manage large volumes of data, and ensures integration with other applications and systems through open source and proprietary tools and technologies. The platform also makes the app ‘intelligent’ by building analytics driven by AI and ML. When the entire power of the platform is offered as a fully-managed and cohesive set of cloud services, it becomes Platform as a Service (PaaS).

Mindshift to a DevOps Culture

There’s a fundamental mind shift happening in enterprise IT today. Development and IT have traditionally had distinct charters; Development focused on building and deploying the application while operations was mainly concerned about standardization, security, and performance.

But with digital transformation as the mega movement, there was a need to change how applications were built and deployed. Enterprises cared about faster time-to-market, developers cared about faster release cycles by automating the build-deploy-operate process with CI/CD, and IT operations cared about standardization and performance.

All of this converged with the DevOps tool ecosystem, and a new DevOps culture and organizational design inside the enterprise. Consequently, businesses such as Instacart, Lyft, and others are taking on a DevOps and microservices approach by building and releasing features rapidly while keeping operational constraints in mind. But now the platform has to be flexible enough to support the needs of the new DevOps organization.

Oracle PaaS – Designed for the Modern DevOps Enterprise

You’ve heard about Oracle’s SaaS and database offerings. We even announced the world’s first self-driving database at the Oracle OpenWorld 2017. But the underlying ‘force’ that enables you to extract even greater value from your SaaS and on-premises applications is Oracle’s Platform as a Service (PaaS). It is a highly differentiated platform that enables enterprises to accelerate innovation for all applications and IT needs. The Oracle Cloud Platform (PaaS) is a comprehensive, standards-based, fully integrated combination of Oracle and other open source technologies to build, deploy, migrate and manage a variety of different application workloads in the cloud at a significantly lower operational cost.

And, we’re going to offer five reasons why you should choose Oracle PaaS for your Application Development needs. Read the complete article here.

Cloud is driving IT transformation and Oracle innovation by: Eric Bezille

August 7, 2018 Leave a comment

image

Today was again a very fully packed day at Oracle Open World. Starting with Mark Hurd, providing the vision of Oracle CEO on the global market and how Enterprises are forced to re-invent themselves or to face disintermediation, due to new comers leveraging the technologies to their benefits: doing the same thing but differently. Enterprise have to simplify and stop spending 80% of their IT budget to keep the light on. That’s where the Cloud model kicks in.

As Oracle we could not keep up if we were running Oracle Cloud like a traditional IT does, with multiple heterogeneous layers and vendors to integrate, patch and upgrade. The fact that we own all the stack from disk, to servers, to operating systems and even higher up with the Database and application stacks make a huge difference. We have one thing to manage, like Exadata to run the Oracle Database. That’s why Cloud is driving IT transformation and our innovation. (full video replay here).

This was clearly illustrated during Oracle Systems General Session, re-emphasis on the tight integration benefit of hardware and software, leading to unique optimizations, including one key aspect that was already touch on by Larry Ellision opening Keynote: Security (check here and here)… A new topics that is now also on CEO agenda.

And this tight integration is leading us to unique innovation capabilities helping us to scale, and you as well, as our technology is available in 3 deployments models. Again this was also demonstrated today with the launch of Exadata X7, applying in-memory technology in storage not to accelerate analytic but OLTP workloads: something pretty counter intuitive for pure hardware vendors of storage, but possible as soon as you combine hardware and software up to the Database layer. That makes a huge difference. Read the complete article here.

My First Blockchain in the Oracle Cloud by Lonneke Dikmans

August 5, 2018 Leave a comment

image

Being an integration person I am very interested in Blockchain architecture as an alternative for ‘traditional’ integration options like ‘Enterprise SOA’ and Centralized Master Data Management.

This blog will not discuss the architecture of blockchain, but describes how you can get started as a developer with blockchain using Oracle Cloud. It assumes you have an instance of Oracle Compute Cloud at your disposal and describes how to get started wth MultiChain.
I executed the following steps:

  1. Create two instances of Oracle Compute Cloud
  2. Install MultiChain
  3. Create the first chain
Create two instances of Oracle Compute Cloud

To show the concept of the block chain you need to create at least two nodes. In this case I created two instances of Oracle Compute Cloud Classic. Read the complete article here.

For more information please see the Blockchain Partner Resource Kit here.

Blockchain announcement by Joost Volker

August 4, 2018 Leave a comment

 

imageOracle’s announcement of the new Blockchain Cloud Service at OOW17 was very well received by our customers, partners and analysts. This came shortly after the August announcement that Oracle has joined the Hyperledger project, which provided clear directions that Oracle embarks on open source collaboration, modular architecture, horizontal/cross-industry technology support, and support for enterprise needs. (see Oracle announcement: Oracle Cements Interest on Blockchain: Joins Hyperledger). The Hyperledger project is a global collaboration, hosted by The Linux Foundation, including leaders in finance, banking, IoT, supply chain, manufacturing and technology

Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service is a new offering that is part of Oracle’s comprehensive platform-as-a service, more particularly part of our modern Application Development portfolio. In alignment with Oracle PaaS strategy, each new service can be deployed in its own right to deploy for customer projects, but is very much designed to deliver best value add in combination with other Oracle PaaS, SaaS and on-premise Applications, leveraging our IaaS components and choice of deployment.

Two other key capabilities of Oracle Blockchain Cloud Services are the possibility to set up a turn-key sandbox environment for corporate IT developers and ISVs and the ease of on-boarding and connecting members and creating and supporting smart contracts. Both will enable you as a partners and your customers to kick off internal projects very easily and promote these to a production environment quickly and at scale.

To get you up to speed on blockchain, we would recommend the following article: What Is Blockchain Technology? A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners. And visit the Blockchain pages on oracle.com for technical explanation and listing of different use cases.

Interested to learn more about Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service and what it could mean to your customers? Stay tuned as we will release more in-depth and technical documentation soon. For further information please contact:

  • Joost Volker, Director Cloud Platform for Connect & Extend, running Blockchain Incubation Programme
  • Thrasos Thrasyvoulou, Business Development Dir, Cloud Platform for Application Development
