Cloud Integration
1. Prebuilt integration
2. Recommendations
3. Auto Association of Oracle SaaS Applications
4. Intuitive User Experience
5. Public/Private Cloud Portability
All of the five ways to simplify cloud integration, shown in Figure 8, are seamlessly integrated into a combination of Oracle Integration Cloud Service and Oracle SOA Cloud Service. Start on your path to simplify cloud integration by exploring further how these new products can work in conjunction with your existing integration platforms in a Hybrid Integration model or from the ground up as a purely cloud or on-premises based solution with the flexibility to migrate to a Hybrid Integration model when you need it.
Oracle Database
Oracle Database 12c Release 2 offers significant advantages for consolidating application workloads.
These benefits include:
1.Simplified Management – Reduce the number of distinct environments to manage. Manage many as one.
2.Streamlined Provisioning and Patching
3.Ease of Consolidation – .Consolidation without application changes is possible
Database as a service
The service orientation aspects of DBaaS architectures benefit both IT providers and consumers.
Providers benefit from being able to develop and offer pre-defined services for their consumers to use – minimizing vendor, software version and configuration diversity. This reduced diversity supports business goals of agility, efficiency and improved quality of service through the development of standardized processes, common support mechanisms and focused skills development. Further, by focusing on a standardized and optimized platform, providers can also offer the illusion of unlimited capacity to their consumers through improvements in procurement, capacity planning, and resource management.
Consumers also benefit in a number of ways:
(1) self-service provisioning and management means that consumers are able to more quickly and easily deploy new applications for the business;
(2) service definitions allow consumers to understand exactly what capabilities and service levels they should expect from the provider; and
(3) metering allows for greater transparency into utilization and IT costs allowing consumers to make more informed decisions about where to spend their time and money.
