Tag: Autonomous Database

Oracle Autonomous Database, the world’s first autonomous database, launched last year. This “self-driving” database has continuously been gaining interest in the business world. It eliminated complexity, human error, and manual management. This helps ensure higher reliability, security, and more operational efficiency at the lowest cost.

This year saw the introduction of Oracle Autonomous Database, a series of cloud services that enable anyone to rapidly build a secure, highly available and elastic database optimized for any workload. With the introduction of Automatic Indexing, Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Database on Exadata will now automatically adapt to changing workloads. But what does Automatic Indexing look like on the road?  In this session, we'll explain the motivation behind this new capability and provide a first look at it in action. We will also illustrate how it can simplify your approach to application tuning and accelerate new application development.

If your organization is interested in moving to Cloud, but you’re not quite ready to make the transition yet, you may want to consider utilizing a Cloud trial. Customers can now test drive the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse on Cloud's platform through a free trial that offers $300 of free credits that are good for up to 3,500 hours of Oracle Cloud usage.

Oracle introduced the autonomous database in the Oracle Cloud this past March of 2018. It is set up for data warehouse-type workloads and not yet for heavy transactional systems or even hybrid-type applications. As a Database Administrator (DBA), we know that most of our applications have hybrid to heavy transaction workloads, and of course a few data lakes or warehouses. Well, good news — on August 7, 2018, Oracle announced and made immediately available Oracle 18c autonomous database in the Oracle Cloud for transaction processing.

Oracle’s new autonomous database service, the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud, deploys, optimizes, patches and secures itself, all without human assistance. This automation allows for greater performance and efficiencies and is what Larry Ellison, Oracle co-founder, executive chairman, and chief technology officer is calling one of “the most important things” Oracle has done.
