Oracle Database 12c Release 2

Oracle Database 12c Release 2 is the latest cloud-focused database solution by Oracle, and was released in late 2015. The primary focus of Oracle Database 12c Release 2 is total compatibility across all platforms.

The unique design and implementation of this cloud database allows it to fully integrate with both on-premises and cloud deployments of other Oracle software and infrastructure.

This comprehensive database solution also comes standard with a powerful set of data migration tools that can allow IT teams to quickly and easily migrate their data and workloads to the cloud, without worrying about their data being compromised or damaged.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive, cloud-focused database solution that can be fully integrated with on-premises, hybrid, and cloud systems, look no further than Oracle Database 12c Release 2.

Oracle Database 12c

Oracle Database 12c, first released in 2013, remains a top-tier database platform. This server platform focuses on a wide variety of enhancement and features, as compared to previous databases such as Oracle Database 11g.

One of the most attractive features of Oracle Database 12c is pluggable databases. Multiple pluggable databases can be hosted in a single container database, and added and removed from the container database at will, increasing the flexibility of the database. This feature allows for rapid provisioning and portability of Oracle databases, and helps in consolidating workloads and increasing the efficiency of the database by wasting fewer CPU cycles.

Multi-tenant architecture is another significant feature that was introduced with Oracle Database 12c. This specialized architecture design allows customers to run multiple database instances, applications, and virtual machines on the same database in parallel, while still isolating each tenant’s data to increase security.

Oracle Database 11g Release 2

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 was first released in 2011. This enterprise-quality server release focused on one primary thing – reduce costs and improve performance with great database consolidation strategies.

Compared to Oracle Database 11g Release 1, this database implementation offers:

Server costs that are reduced by a factor of 5
Storage requirements reduced by a factor of 10
Improvement in performance of mission-critical tasks by a factor of 10
Maximized availability with an elimination of idle redundancy
Advanced security systems that maximize compliance to corporate standards
Simplification of IT portfolios through enhanced performance

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 was also developed specifically to work well on purpose-built pieces of hardware such as the Oracle Exadata Database machine, providing a comprehensive, cost-effective private, hybrid, or public cloud solution.

Oracle Real Application Clusters

Oracle Real Application Clusters are purpose-built, cloud-ready machines that have been developed for use with database software such as Oracle Database 12c Release 2.

As the name may suggest, these servers are clustered for high availability, maximum performance, and agility, using Oracle’s shared disk database clustering technology to efficiently run both customized and prepackaged applications.

If your business needs maximum uptime and reliability, a Real Application Cluster provides maximum redundancy to ensure that, even if a single piece of hardware fails, your cloud infrastructure will be uninterrupted.

Oracle Database Security

Cornerstone also offers comprehensive database security solutions, as developed by Oracle for their latest database releases.

By using built-in security tools such as Database 12c Security and other product offerings like Oracle Audit Vault, Oracle Firewall, and Oracle Key Vault solutions, Cornerstone can help your business build a robust database security solution that can protect your most valuable data from loss, intrusion, and hacking.
