The latest version of the Oracle Database systems is
the 11g which was released both for both Linux and Windows in 2007. Oracle has
drastically improved their Database Management Systems since they burst onto the
scene. Developing an application has become that much easier and the effort and
cost behind it has also gone down significantly. Therefore Oracle Database 11g
or simply Oracle 11g has several advantages as are listed below.
It provides a real life testing analyzer which
basically tests an application in a variety of circumstances which may come out
in real life. This helps in shielding the application from going down when it
goes live. This is of a great benefit to the companies who experience lesser and
lesser unplanned downtime and consequently, they lose less money.
11g also has new data compression which increases
support for compression of all kinds of data. Providing more capability to sort
unstructured and backup data, it reduces storage costs of the company. Because
of this advanced storage compression, the impact on the performance of the
system is also increased as the pressure on memory and bandwidth is greatly
reduced.
Another major improvement for Oracle 11g is the
deployment of new Data Security which is stronger and more secure than before.
It protects against internal espionage by controlling who can access what data
and when. It has a high network encryption as well as SSL-based encryption.
Besides the above main features, there is also a significant
increase in the performance in Oracle 11g. The new business intelligence
applications are speeding up by use of new partitioning methods. It also
provides additional administrative support control which helps reduce the
operational cost of maintain the database. In short, the Oracle 11g upgrade
should be obtained by all users because the cost of upgrading the system is
well worth the benefits obtained from it.
There are lots of new features added in Oracle 11g including security and performance improvement. High availability and scalability is main concern in new version of Oracle. Off course, nowadays company and people require these all features in database. Use of database is increasing including locally and globally and due to these reasons, security is most important for database support. Oracle specialists and remote dba experts are able to maintain critical databases with these new features.
