Web Services 101 (617KB) Presented by: Chris Ostrowski Date: 02/14/2009 Abstract: Imagine if you could take existing pieces from your computer systems and reuse or rearrange them in new and different ways. The pieces could be data sources and/or code and it wouldn't matter what operating system, programming language or data source it came from. You could then use development tools or web display technologies like Oracle Portal to build new applications from your existing infrastructure. Does that sound like something that could give you a competitive advantage in your organization? Oh - and you can also use thousands of Web Services provided by other companies to enhance applications for your end users. You can use a Web Service like Google Maps - completely free of charge - to add graphical location data to your applications, without having to develop any of the code yourself.

Oracle High Availability (RAC, ASM, RMAN, and Data Guard) - A Case Study (5.08MB) Presented by: Rama Balaji Date: 02/12/2009 Abstract: Businesses today cannot tolerate downtime. Downtime means loss of business, and ultimately loss of revenue to the company. The real challenge of achieving 24/7 availability comes from productively utilizing all the available resources, software, and hardware. This presentation is a case study of one such customer, whose storage array failed during the heavy transaction processing time. We quickly brought the database back up and subsequently got their entire system restored, all the while maintaining at least two copies of production databases. This presentation is a perfect example of how a mission critical production shop can utilize all Oracle HA features such as RAC, ASM, RMAN, and Data Guard to acheive maximum availability.
