Announcement:World's First OLTP Database Machine with Sun FlashFire Technology

By -
I am getting ready to listen to LARRY Ellison's talk on OLTP version of Exadata using SUN hardware. I see that this may be useful for mixed workload boxes. Larry had said last year while announcing Exadata in Sep '08, that 70% of the workload of OLTP's are for querying of data.

Oracle is claiming "The result is a quantum leap in performance over Oracle's previous generation Exadata machine, including a 20x increase in random I/O and a 5x I/O bandwidth speedup with FlashFire Technology, as well as a 2x speedup in compute and network performance capacity." Let us see how Larry is going to explain this.

BIWA Techcast: Oracle BI 11.1.1.5 Released – OBIEE 11g Changes and New Features, May 25, noon ET

"Oracle BI 11.1.1.5 Released – OBIEE 11g Changes and New Features" Oracle Business Intelligence 11g was a huge release.  When OBIEE 11g was introduced, the font size had to be so small to fit all of the important new features on one PowerPoint slide, that it was unreadable.  Now, in May 2011, Oracle has issued the first patch release for OBIEE 11g, version 11.1.1.5.0.  Arguably, the biggest news on this release is that it is the first patch release since 11g was launched with version 11.1.1.3 in August, 2010 (11.1.1.4 was skipped).  For those that were waiting for the first patch release, you no longer have that excuse for waiting to move to 11g of OBIEE.
