A database cloud is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. These resources can include servers, storage, applications, and services, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) provides the required functionality to enable such a database cloud. In this session, you will see how these ideas have been enhanced in Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 to make the design even more efficient. Utilizing its outstanding high-availability and scalability features in addition, Oracle RAC will make your private database cloud more convenient, faster, and more reliable than any other database cloud solution on the market.

SQL is arguably the world's most popular programming language today, and SQL database servers and systems are used in the majority of mission-critical business applications. However, many kinds of applications need many of its capabilities—such as transactions, concurrency, and high performance—usually associated with database servers but do not need the query flexibility (or overhead) of SQL. The Oracle Berkeley DB transactional key-value database engines are ideally suited for such applications. This presentation elaborates on the virtues of a simple key-value API and also discusses some typical applications and usage scenarios.
