When companies want to implement powerful software, they need to implement powerful hardware. That’s a rule that will probably never change—so companies have come to accept it. What they’re still wrestling with is the fact that there needs to be a connection between the server and the hard disk.
What is Oracle Cloud called and its features?-Oracle cloudZabeel Institute
Oracle Cloud is an IaaS that provides on-premises, high-performance computing power to run cloud-native and venture company’s IT work. OCI provides real-time elasticity for business applications by combining Oracle’s independent services, integrated safety and security, and serverless computing.
Harnessing the Power of Optimizer HintsMaria Colgan
The goal of the Oracle Optimizer is to examine all possible execution plans for a SQL statement and to pick the one with the lowest cost, which should be the most efficient. From time to time, it may become necessary to influence the plan the Optimizer chooses. The most powerful way to alter the plan chosen is via Optimizer hints. But knowing when and how to use Optimizer hints correctly is somewhat of a dark art. This session explains in detail how Optimizer hints are interpreted, when they should be used, and why they sometimes appear to be ignored.

Best Practices in Implementing Oracle Database Security ProductsEstuate, Inc.
Information is the world’s new currency. Databases are the digital banks that store and retrieve valuable information. The growing number of high-profile incidents in which customer records, confidential information and intellectual property are leaked, lost or stolen has created an explosive demand for solutions that protect against the deliberate or inadvertent release of sensitive information.Oracle is the global leader in relational database technology, and has built a rich set of database security products and database features within its product portfolio.
Estuate helps major wireless telecom save tens of millionsEstuate, Inc.
A major wireless telecom wanted to curb data growth and reduce hardware and storage costs across its enterprise. After years of accumulating transaction records, the telecoms databases had become difficult and costly to maintain and operate. Estuate and IBM worked together to implement IBM Optim Solutions and enhance the telecoms data governance function.
Have you begun to see the value of Enterprise Data Management? If so, perhaps you’ve decided that simply buying more hardware is no longer a viable option for your IT department. Despite the ever-falling cost of hardware, each new machine you add will increase your labor, power, and cooling costs over time.
Ready To Make The Move To Oracle Release 12Estuate, Inc.
In as quickly as 2-4 weeks, Estuate will help your organization upgrade one operating unit to Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) R12, providing the basis for your remaining R12 upgrade. Using the Rapid E-Suite solution, we will extract your current configurations and setups from your 11i environment in a secure process, and assist you in transforming the 11i configurations into R12 formats. Once configured, we’ll inject these configurations into a fresh R12 instance.
The world-class functionality in Oracle enables our clients to migrate their applications written using other databases, such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase in a matter of weeks. Migrating databases and their accompanying applications is not a minor business undertaking.
Estuate - Control Application Data GrowthEstuate, Inc.
Data growth is a significant challenge for most Fortune 1000 companies. The drivers of data growth are organic business growth, mergers and acquisitions, data retention requirements and something the author of this white paper refers to as the “Data Multiplier Effect.”
Integration of Oracle EAM with Oracle AutoVueEstuate, Inc.
Estuate’s Work Order Print Service solves the work order printing challenge, consistently rated one of Oracle eAM customers’ biggest challenges, by enabling easy printing of work order reports and related attachments stored in eAM. A company is only as good as its infrastructure. Regardless of size or purpose, business processes and services within a company rely heavily on the dependability of assets and their impact on everyday business processes.
Estuate implemented the IBM Optim Data Growth Solution, retired the company’s unneeded instances of Oracle E-Business Suite, archived all the data from the applications, and delivered a reporting capability for the retired data.
Estuate provides end-to-end implementation and management of leading enterprise application products. We specialize in the full Oracle E-Business Suite and IBM’s Optim products—Data Archiving, Data Masking, Test Data Management and Decommissioning.
Enterprise applications and databases do not just help in running the business - they are your business. And every year, they grow in size and complexity, making them harder to manage. Uncontrolled data growth threatens application performance and service level agreements, increases maintenance costs, and exposes enterprises to legal liability for data privacy and security.
Estuate expertise in proven Oracle BI methodologies mitigates key risk factors from your business intelligence implementations. Estuate can redefine your BI strategy and deliver cost effective deployments and adoption.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Five Characteristics of a Good Oracle Exadata Implementation Partner
1. The Five Characteristics
of a Good Oracle Exadata
Implementation Partner
INTRODUCTION: WHY ORACLE EXADATA?
When companies want to implement powerful software, they need to implement powerful hardware. That’s a rule that will
probably never change—so companies have come to accept it.
What they’re still wrestling with is the fact that there needs to be a connection between the server and the hard disk.
Companies such as 3Com, Cisco, and Brocade have traditionally filled this niche by providing a bus that connects these two
components. Unfortunately, this means that companies implementing new software often must deal with three different
vendors.
Oracle addressed this problem with its 2008 release of Oracle Exadata, which offers customers the hard drive, software, and
bus in one box—and the peace of mind that comes from using a single solution delivered by a single vendor, with
components that are guaranteed to work in harmony.
Oracle Exadata is a remarkably heterogeneous black-box application for interfacing with virtually any business platform—not
just Oracle E-Business Suite. If you have enormous volumes of stored data and need to query it quickly, Exadata can be a
game-changer. And as many customers are finding out, Exadata can deliver a steady long-term return on your initial
investment. In fact, Teradata’s largest Asian customer, 11st, recently replaced 36 Teradata racks with just three Exadata
racks. They’re achieving eight times faster querying performance while consuming just one-tenth the energy.
How does 10 times faster performance at one-tenth the cost sound? These are benefits any corporation could achieve with
Oracle Exadata. But one caveat: if you choose Oracle Exadata, you may be in for a complex migration process. Projects like
these require the assistance of a trustworthy partner.
2. FINDING YOUR IMPLEMENTATION PARTNER
What should you be looking for in an Oracle Exadata implementation partner? Here are five characteristics.
1 - First-hand knowledge of the Oracle architecture. Look for a consulting partner that can set up a realistic
