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.
Read on to know more about the latest Oracle Database performance and scalability
features, learn expert tuning methodologies, and review competitive information.


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
require changes to applications.


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.


Challenge 5: Data Warehousing

How to effectively manage and store vast amounts of data and be able
to pull out the right information at the right time?

How Oracle can help

Oracle Database 11g offers fast, reliable and secure reporting, analytics, and data
mining on low cost, scalable Data Warehouses.

Challenge 6: Content Management

How to control, secure, search and retrieve large volumes of
both structured and unstructured content.

How Oracle can help

Oracle Content Management is a grouping of products that enable
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,
streamline business processes, cut storage costs and reduce business
risk and costs associated with the legal discovery process.
