Brasil, TaylorMade Golf, Telecom Fiji and Viscosity are among the
many organizations using the world's first self-driving database to
move mission-critical workloads to the cloud. Additionally, Oracle
continues to expand its Autonomous Database with new capabilities
announced today.
Oracle Autonomous Database builds on 40 years of experience
supporting the world's most demanding applications. The
first-of-its-kind, Oracle Autonomous Database uses groundbreaking
machine learning to enable self-driving, self-repairing, and
self-securing capabilities with cloud economies of scale and
elasticity. The complete automation of database and infrastructure
operations, like patching, tuning and upgrading, cuts
administrative costs, and allows database administrators to focus
on getting more value from data and building new innovations.
With Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle's world-famous database
technology is now easily usable by customers of any size. Many of
the customers that have deployed Oracle Autonomous Database would
not have considered using Oracle database technology in the
past.
"Customers are delighted with the agility, ease of use, and
performance they get with the Autonomous Database. It enables them
to instantly create and effortlessly use databases that require no
manual tuning," said Andrew
Mendelsohn, executive vice president, database server
technologies, Oracle. "It's also extremely easy for customers to
adopt because it uses the same proven Oracle Database as
on-premises, with the same functionality and interfaces they've
used for years."
Autonomous Database Revolutionizes Data
Management
Global institutions across financial services,
consumer goods, automotive, retail, healthcare, science, media,
manufacturing, telecommunications and logistics management are
relying on Oracle Autonomous Database to automate critical
management and security processes to better safeguard their systems
and free up IT resources for more strategic work.
MESTEC Limited, a UK-based company, is providing intelligent
SaaS solutions to optimize the manufacturing lifecycle for some of
the world's most prestigious manufacturers of submarines, missiles,
micro semiconductors and orthopedic hips. MESTEC is using Oracle
Autonomous Transaction Processing in combination with Microsoft
Azure, cutting labor and infrastructure costs in half.
"MESTEC's leading smart factory solution is powered by high
performance cloud infrastructure and database systems," said
Mark Carleton, director at MESTEC
Limited. "We put Azure and Oracle Cloud to the test by implementing
our application tier in Azure connected to Oracle Autonomous
Database, running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and the results
have been extremely positive. Initial tests are projecting a 90
percent decrease in database management overhead, and 50 percent
increase in performance. By connecting Oracle and Azure, we're able
to rapidly introduce innovative technologies into our solution,
ultimately resulting in a better, smarter solution for our
customers enabling them to make dramatic improvements in
manufacturing performance. And we're seeing some workloads running
600 percent faster on Autonomous than on our legacy environment
with half the CPUs."
JASCI Software, a next generation SaaS platform for modern
logistics, is revolutionizing the logistics industry to keep up
with consumer and e-commerce expectations. The US-based company is
harnessing the power of Oracle Autonomous Database to enable some
of the biggest names in retailing to move goods at lightning
speeds.
"With Oracle Autonomous Database, we are creating a new status
quo for our industry so our customers can deliver their goods
faster and successfully compete in the age of next-day shipping,"
said JASCI Software CEO, Craig
Wilensky. "Since adopting Oracle Autonomous Database, JASCI
Software's SaaS software runs up to 100X faster than our previous
cloud solution with complex AI transactions completed in
milliseconds. With Oracle's technical team managing, tuning and
upgrading databases, we are able to just focus on providing supply
chain expertise to our customers."
For China-based luxury real
estate developer Kingold, the ability to compete effectively
requires a strong capability to capture and analyze data, and
extract insights that can be used to design and deliver new
services to tenants. With Autonomous Data Warehouse, Kingold has
shortened the time to reach insights, delivering more value to its
customers faster.
"If you just put everything in the cloud, you're just a
glorified CIO of yesterday, you've done an okay job," said
Steven Chang, CIO, Kingold. "But
when you make the data work for you, and empower the people around
you, that's when you become a digital CIO. Real transformation
can't start until you start working the data to make changes."
SKY Brasil is providing Pay TV satellite service to five million
customers throughout Brazil. SKY
is pairing the performance capability, computing speed and
simplicity of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with Autonomous Data
Warehouse, and the results have improved both SKY's processes and
their bottom line. Oracle's solutions enabled SKY's IT resources to
dedicate more time to strategic data modeling and also resulted in
a 90 percent reduction in time to market for SKY's SAS
application.
"In addition to the high performance of Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure, the adoption of Oracle Autonomous Database has
streamlined processes and enabled us to reach our customers with
the right offering," said Alberto
Camardelli, CIO, SKY Brasil. "SKY expects to use the
solution even more and bring all of its infrastructure to the
cloud."
