Technologies to Enterprise Big Data Portfolio

New Oracle-only innovations help speed time from data to decisions

Redwood Shores, Calif.—Apr 6, 2015

A key component of Oracle’s comprehensive big data strategy, Oracle today unveiled Oracle Data Integrator for Big Data to help make big data integration more accessible and actionable for customers.  This news follows closely on the heels of Oracle’s recent Enterprise Big Data announcement and furthers Oracle’s vision to enable Hadoop, NoSQL, and relational database technologies to work together and be deployed securely in any model—whether public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises infrastructure. 

Oracle Data Integrator for Big Data enables customers to quickly go from data to decisions, streamline their Hadoop development, and enhance data transparency and data governance across the organization. It provides customers with access to an increased number of diverse data types from on-premises and cloud sources, and helps deliver increased performance for growing data volumes, and enrich data quality for business decisions and regulatory compliance. Unlike other products in the marketplace, Oracle Data Integrator for Big Data is designed to fully leverage a customer’s existing investment in their Hadoop cluster, running completely natively without requiring proprietary code to be installed or a separate server to be run.

“This is a significant milestone for big data tools,” said Jeff Pollock, vice president of product management at Oracle. “With this new product Oracle has made it possible for our customers to be big data ETL developers without having to learn Scala, Pig or Oozie code. In fact, Oracle is the only vendor that can automatically generate Spark, Hive and Pig transformations from a single mapping which allows our customers to focus on business value and the overall architecture rather than multiple programming languages.”

Generating value from big data requires the right tools to move and prepare data to effectively discover new insights. In order to operationalize those insights, new data must integrate securely with existing data, infrastructure, applications, and processes. Oracle Data Integration is a key component of Oracle’s Big Data solutions, a group of Oracle technologies that work seamlessly together to help companies exploit enterprise big data faster, at lower cost, and with less risk. They allow customers to securely reach across Hadoop, NoSQL, and relational databases to easily and cost-effectively sift through massive and diverse data sets.

“Oracle continues to innovate its data integration product line to support a growing ecosystem of big data sources, new technologies, and high performance real-time use cases,” said Charles Zedlewski, vice president, products, Cloudera.  “These latest enhancements in Oracle Data Integration make the portfolio a primary contender for enterprises interested in standardizing on Oracle across the full spectrum of their big data infrastructures, from data ingest and integration, to warehousing, to discovery and big data analytics.”

Oracle Data Integrator for Big Data, Oracle Data Integrator 12c, Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data, and Oracle GoldenGate 12c are part of Oracle’s comprehensive data integration portfolio, which includes data services, data federation, metadata management, data quality, bulk data movement, and real-time replication.

by Jeff Barr | on 02 APR 2015 | in Amazon RDS | Permalink

I’ve got good news for users of Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). You can now launch Database Instances that run Oracle Database 12c (version 12.1.0.1.v1 to be precise).

This version of Oracle Database introduces over 500 new features! Here are a few that I found interesting:

Data Redaction – You can mask sensitive data fields such as SSNs or credit card numbers to hide it in query results. Read Introduction to Oracle Data Redaction to learn more.

Adaptive Query Optimization – This feature allows the query optimizer to adjust execution plans based on stats gathered at statement execution time, improving query performance. Read the Optimzer with Oracle Database 12c white paper to learn more.

Inline PL/SQL Functions and Procedures – You can now define stored procedures and functions in the WITH clause and use these inline objects in your queries. Read about With Clause Enhancements in Oracle Database 12c to learn more.

Top-N Queries – You can now retrieve the top or bottom N rows from an ordered set and more easily page through the results. See the blog post, Row Limiting Clause for Top-N Queries in Oracle Database 12c for some helpful examples.

APEX Update – You can take advantage of version 4.2.6 of Oracle Application Express. Read the Application Express Release Notes to learn about what’s new and read the APEX Options to see how to get started.

Launch an Instance Today
You can launch an RDS Database Instance running Oracle Database 12c today using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell, the CreateDBInstance API function, or a AWS CloudFormation template. You can read the Oracle Concepts section of the RDS documentation to learn about parameter changes, APEX option changes, and other information on how to use this new release of Oracle.

Se cumplen 42 años de la primera conversación por teléfono móvil.

Aún cuando en el sitio oficial de AT&T se atribuyen la primera llamada por celular en junio 17 de 1946 realizada desde un camión en St. Louis.

El ingeniero Martin Cooper, en Oviedo, en el año 2009, al ser Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Investigación Científica y Técnica

¿Sabías que la primera conversación por teléfono móvil se produjo el 3 de abril de 1973? Por ello, hoy se celebra el Día Internacional del Teléfono Móvil.

En ese día, Martin Cooper, utilizó un Motorola Dyna TAC, que pesaba 1,3 kilos y tenía un tamaño de 23 centímetros, para realizar la llamada. Los teléfonos de entonces tan solo tenían esa función y tanto han evolucionado que, en la actualidad, la llamada es la opción menos usada por los usuarios de «smartphones».

Tal ha sido su evolución que se han multiplicado las posibilidades del antiguo teléfono móvil y las ventas de otros dispositivos electrónicos se han visto afectadas desde su aparición, tal y como informa Locompramos.es. 

La compañía de compra-venta de dispositivos electrónicos ha realizado un informe en el que analiza cómo el «smartphone» ha frenado la venta de GPS y cámaras digitales, los más perjudicados. 

El GPS ha visto reducida su venta en un 35% desde el año 2010. En ese año se vendieron un total de 40 millones de unidades, frente a los 26 millones vendidos en el año pasado. Un descenso que se produce debido al hecho de que los actuales teléfonos móviles disponen de un sistema de navegación incorporado. 

Por su parte, las cámaras digitales vendieron en 2010 118 millones de unidades en todo el mundo, una cifra que ha caído en picado en cuatro años y que se ha situado en 38 millones, un 68% menos. 

En cambio, durante el mismo periodo de tiempo, se ha incrementado un 500% la venta de «smartphones», pasando de los 244 millones de unidades en 2010 a los más de 1200 en el año 2014. 

Los reproductores de música MP3han sido otras víctimas de la consolidación de los teléfonos inteligentes y actualmente su presencia en el mercado es testimonial. «Un 85% de los españoles cuenta a día de hoy con un 'smartphones, lo que ha afectado a las cifras de venta de los demás dispositivos electrónicos por la gran variedad de aplicaciones que contienen. Los teléfonos inteligentes han marcado un antes y un después en la historia de la tecnología», afirma Enrique Aguilar, director general de Locompramos.es.

Con la adquisición de Micros, Oracle fortalece su oferta para retail

Lizzette Perez Arbesu
Para techtarget.com

La relación entre el consumidor y los vendedores de la industria de ventas al detalle, o retail, ha cambiado, trayendo consigo un reto considerable para satisfacer las necesidades de los clientes ofreciendo una experiencia integrada.

Tomando como base el estudio “La nueva democracia del retail”, realizado por la división Oracle Retail, se identificaron las preferencias de los consumidores en el proceso de compra y lo que los minoristas deben hacer para cumplir y superar las expectativas.

“El sector retail requiere de operatividad efectiva para adecuarse a un mercado y un consumidor cambiante, demandante de atención total e hiper conectado y al mismo tiempo incrementar su rentabilidad y reducir sus costos”, dijo Carlos Victoria, vicepresidente de Retail para Oracle Latinoamérica.

En consecuencia, Oracle fortaleció su oferta de retail al ofrecer la versión 14.1 de las soluciones Oracle Retail, además de incorporar a Micros Systems como parte de la estrategia para cumplir con la promesa de extender las funcionalidades del minorista sin que esto implique sacrificios en la solución empresarial, expansión y fiabilidad. La estrategia de Oracle busca permitir que los minoristas ofrezcan comercio en cualquier lugar, de forma dirigida, rentable y eficiente.

Micros Systems es proveedor de soluciones tecnológicas para hoteles, restaurantes, instalaciones de comercialización de alimentos y bebidas, y retail. La combinación de Oracle Retail y Micros añade nuevas soluciones al portafolio de ofertas específicas de retail. La adquisición de Micros proporciona mejores capacidades en varias categorías, incluyendo la de almacenaje y con soluciones por encima del almacenaje.

De acuerdo con Oracle, la estrategia es conjuntar ambos portafolios para ampliar y acelerar el progreso, en tanto que se construye el crecimiento en la comunidad para la Unidad de Oracle Retail Global Business.

El nuevo modelo de comercio omni-canal de Oracle Retail permite la entrega de valor al cliente a través de alineación y ejecución de áreas clave como planificación y optimización, gestión de mercaderías, cadena de suministro, experiencia del consumidor, punto de servicio, prevención, integración y análisis.

Además, Oracle ofrece una gama de servicios en la nube para procesos críticos de negocio, como la gestión de relaciones con clientes, gestión de pedidos, cumplimiento de la marca, prevención de pérdidas y administración de personal. También han invertido en soluciones de punto de venta.
