The Six Key Business Challenges
Challenge 1: High Availability
Your business needs to be online 24x7, 365 days a year. If critical
applications, servers, or data becomes unavailable, your entire
business might be jeopardized. Lost revenue, dissatisfied customers,
penalties, and negative press will have a lasting effect on your
organization's reputation.
How Oracle can help
Oracle Database 11g will protect your business from all common causes of
planned and unplanned downtime, including the most common cause of failure –
human error. In addition, Oracle's Maximum Availability Architecture framework
provides clear and concise guidance on implementing best practices using Oracle's
proven high availability technologies.

Challenge 2: Performance and Scalability
Your systems need to scale as your company grows and as there are
more demands made on your IT infrastructure.
How Oracle can help
For over three decades, Oracle's Database technology has led the industry in
performance and scalability. Oracle Databases power a majority of the world's most
demanding environments and continue to build an all‐around lead across various
industry standard benchmarks. Oracle Database 11g extends this lead even further by
introducing capabilities that fully leverage the latest hardware innovations to help
customers meet the unprecedented demands being placed on their IT infrastructure.

The Six Key Business Challenges
Challenge 3: Database Security
How can you ensure data privacy, protect your data against inside
threats and meet regulatory compliance requirements?
How Oracle can help
From the outset, Oracle has delivered the industry's most advanced
technology to safeguard data where it lives – in the database. Oracle provides
a comprehensive portfolio of security solutions to ensure data privacy,
protect against insider threats, and enable regulatory compliance. With
Oracle's powerful privileged user and multi‐factor access control, data
classification, transparent data encryption, auditing, monitoring, and data
masking, customers can deploy reliable, cost‐effective solutions that do not

The Six Key Business Challenges
Challenge 4: Manageability
How can your database administrators limit the time spent on
error‐prone administrative tasks and be more productive and
strategic in their roles?
How Oracle can help
Oracle provides an integrated management solution for managing
Oracle database with a unique top‐down application management
approach. With new self‐managing capabilities, Oracle eliminates
time‐consuming, error‐prone administrative tasks, so database
administrators can focus on strategic business objectives instead of
performance and availability fire drills.

organizations to easily control, secure, search and retrieve large
volumes of unstructured content across the enterprise. Together, they
can manage the full information spectrum–from Office documents, to
multimedia, to XML and more–to help increase user productivity,

Online Analytical Processing
• Reduced Data Movement and Latency—With Oracle OLAP, you no longer
have to replicate data into a stand‐alone, proprietary OLAP server
because all of your multi‐dimensional data is stored directly into the
Oracle Database relational engine. Decision makers benefit from much
faster access to higher quality information.
• Lower IT Costs and Complexity—Oracle OLAP enables you to reduce costs
and dramatically simplify your IT environment. With Oracle OLAP, you
eliminate the need to purchase additional hardware and you only have to
maintain a single server and security model. Oracle OLAP also supports
SQL access to multi‐dimensional data types, so you can leverage your
existing investment SQL tools, applications, and skills.
• Enterprise‐Scale Analytics with Grid Computing—Simply providing
decision makers with access to data is meaningless if the data is
unavailable. Oracle OLAP and Oracle Real Applications Clusters together
provide the foundation of Very Large Multi‐dimensional Databases
(VLDM) which can provide thousands of concurrent users with continuous
access to information.
