Balancing cost and risk migrating from windows server 2003 to the cloud AppZero Inc
This document discusses options for organizations to consider when migrating away from Windows Server 2003 as support ends. It reviews 7 options: doing nothing, isolating servers, paid custom support, retiring assets, manual migration, automated migration, and cloud migration. The options have varying costs and risks. Isolation and doing nothing may not comply with regulations. Custom support is very expensive long-term. The best option will be a combination tailored to each organization's needs and risks. Labor costs for migration projects should also be considered.
Windows Server 2003 Migration - Presented by AtidanDavid J Rosenthal
End of support means:
No updates
37 critical updates were released in 2013 for Windows Server 2003/R2 under Extended Support. No updates will be developed or released after end of support.
No compliance
Lack of compliance with various standards and regulations can be devastating. This may include various regulatory and industry standards for which compliance can no longer be achieved. For example, lack of compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards might mean companies such as Visa and MasterCard will no longer do business with you. Or, the new cost of doing business will include paying catastrophic penalties and astronomically high transaction fees.
No safe haven
Both virtualized and physical instances of Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable and would not pass a compliance audit. Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 servers are also affected.
Staying put will cost more in the end. Maintenance costs for aging hardware will also increase. Added costs will be incurred for intrusion detection systems, more advanced firewalls, network segmentation, and so on—simply to isolate Windows Server 2003 servers.
Many applications will also cease to be supported, once the operating system they are running on is unsupported. This includes all Microsoft applications.
Now is the time to act
You must start planning migration now.
Servers may still be running Windows Server 2003/R2 for a number of reasons. You can use these reasons as a discussion point:
Perceived challenges of upgrading applications
Presence of custom and legacy applications
Budget and resource constraints

Key Methodologies for Migrating from Oracle to PostgresEDB
This presentation reviews the key methodologies that all members of your team should consider, before planning a migration from Oracle to Postgres including:
• Prioritizing the right application or project for your first Oracle migration
• Planning a well-defined, phased migration process to minimize risk and increase time to value
• Handling common concerns and pitfalls related to a migration project
• Leveraging resources before, during, and after your migration
• Becoming independent from an Oracle database – without sacrificing performance
With EDB Postgres’ database compatibility for Oracle, it is easy to migrate from your existing Oracle databases. The compatibility feature set includes compatibility for PL/SQL, Oracle’s SQL syntax, and built in SQL functions. This means that many applications can be easily migrated over to EDB Postgres. It also allows you to continue using your existing Oracle skills.

It is not that hard to build your own Cloud Adapter! You can enable a citizen developer to do their own integrations using ICS and also use the same adapter when developing on premise SOA solutions. Oracle enables you to sell your product in the Marketplace, further increasing your return of investment. I will show you the different designtime and runtime components which need to be implemented, how JDeveloper extension development works and how you can test your adapter on ICS locally using the ICS execution agent. I will share common pitfalls when starting adapter development to help you get a headstart when you are considering creating your own. This presentation will help developers and architects understand Cloud Adapters and when you should consider creating one yourself!
In this presentation I will show you what is needed to build your own Cloud Adapter using the Cloud Adapter SDK. The architecture of the adapter framework will be explained and also the required steps to allow others to use your adapter from the Oracle Marketplace will be shown. The custom adapter which has been created as a sample implementation is a Z-Wave-Adapter which can be used to allow easy integration with devices using the Z-Wave protocol (such as sensors which can be used for home automation). The usage of the adapter in real life will also be demonstrated.

When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.
