Support Sessions Title Conference Id Abstract Deploying a Private Cloud with the Oracle Cloud Platform: Customer Case Study CON1980 Join this session to learn how a large Dutch government organization implemented a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution on Oracle engineered systems including multiple Oracle Exadata, Oracle Exalogic, Oracle Database Appliance, and Oracle’s ZFS systems. In parallel, this organization reduced IT resource requirements by relying on Oracle for the operational management of the installed infrastructure and Oracle software (Oracle Database 12c and Oracle’s middleware solutions). Deploying a Private Cloud with Oracle Engineered Systems: Lessons from the Trenches CON2656 The private cloud is becoming the preferred deployment model for mission-critical applications. This session provides business and technical insight into some of the pragmatic considerations, key operational issues, integration strategies, and deployment options to make the transition to cloud successful. Hear how enterprises can couple adoption of the cloud with DevOps to double up on the benefits. Also included are customer case studies and lessons learned from large deployments. Best Practices: SQL Tuning Made Easier with SQLTXPLAIN CON8662 SQL tuning can be a daunting task. Too many things affect the cost-based optimizer (CBO) when you’re deciding on an execution plan. CBO statistics, parameters, bind variables, peeked values, histograms, and more are common contributors. The list of areas to analyze keeps growing. Oracle has been using SQLTXPLAIN (SQLT) as part of a systematic way to collect the information pertinent to a poorly performing SQL statement and its environment. With a consistent view of this environment, an expert on SQL tuning can perform more diligently, focusing on the analysis and less on the information gathering. This tool can also be used by experienced DBAs to make their life easier when it comes to SQL tuning. Learn more in this session.
