Oracle Launches Oracle Database 12C

Oracle, which enjoys a 67 percent market leadership in the database market globally, is eyeing newer opportunities for its latest offering in database solutions—Oracle Database 12c, which the company claims is the first database designed for the cloud.

The Oracle Database 12c has a multitenant architecture that consolidates databases onto the cloud; without the need to change applications.

Oracle Database 12c introduces 500 additional features and can benefit customers deploying private database clouds and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) vendors looking for a multitenant model.

“Oracle multitenant works with all Oracle database features, including real application clusters, partitioning, data guard, compression, automatic storage management, real application testing, transparent data encryption, database vault, etc,” informed Niraj Kaushik, VP, Alliances & Channels, Oracle.

The company introduced automatic data optimization features that automatically balances and optimizes performance with maximum storage footprint reduction using the data compression available on Oracle storage systems with Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC).

It also announced new database-to-storage system capabilities for customers using Oracle Database 12c with its Sun ZFS storage appliance and Pillar Axiom storage systems. These are the only NAS and SAN storage that support Oracle Hybrid Columnar Compression, an Oracle Database-specific feature that compresses historical data by 12x, and improves query performance an average of 5x.

According to Kaushik, “The extended support for 10G R2 database expired in July 2013, and the 11G R2 is the only version currently available for premier support. Therefore 12c is the next best thing for the next 8-10 years. The opportunities for partners are numerous, especially in services as they can help customers to pen a migration plan, architect it and do the implementation. I believe that most of our customers would migrate onto the new database in the next 1-2 years.”
