Why Database in the Cloud?

What Is It?What Is It?

What Is It?Oracle Database Cloud Service (Database as a Service) gives you a complete Oracle database instance in a virtual machine (VM). It’s the same familiar Oracle database—now in a cloud.

You have full access to the features and operations that are available with Oracle Database, but Oracle hosts the VM and cloud storage. And you can perform some database maintenance and management operations with the easy-to-use cloud portal or command-line interface.

What You Get with the Oracle Approach

• You can perform all database management and development operations—without purchasing and maintaining hardware, without knowing backup and recovery commands, and without having to perform such complex tasks as database software upgrades and patching.

• Unlike some competitors’ cloud infrastructure products, Oracle Database Cloud Service gives you full administrative control of the service (root OS and SYS database access).

• You get full interoperability with your on-premises Oracle databases.

• For operations that you want to automate, Oracle Database Cloud Service lets you script and automate complex problems that Oracle is trusted to implement under the covers.

• You get the familiarity and continuity of your on-premises Oracle database experience—without hosting and installing your database (unless you want to).

• You can use your familiar Oracle tools and applications to connect to the database.

• Experience extreme database performance with unparalleled reliability by using Oracle Database Cloud - Exadata Service.

Database Choices and Options

Database Choices and OptionsYou get many choices and options with Oracle Database Cloud Service.

CPU and Memory OptionsYou can choose a variety of configuration combinations (number of CPUs and gigabytes of memory).

Storage OptionsYou have storage capacity choices using Oracle Storage Cloud Service.

11g or 12c Database EditionsYou can easily provision database instances with Oracle Database 11g or 12c. Choose Standard Edition One, Enterprise Edition (no Database Options), Enterprise Edition High Performance (includes most Database Options and Enterprise Manager packs), or Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance (includes all Database Options and Enterprise Manager packs).

Oracle Database Cloud Service (Database Schema)If you simply need your own database schema and don’t require the full functionality of an Oracle Database instance in a VM, Oracle Database Cloud Service (Database Schema) may be the cloud service for you.

Virtual Image OptionWith Oracle Database Cloud Service (Database as a Service), you manage all maintenance operations for the software or the database. As part of the VM that you provision, the Virtual Image option includes the installation files for Oracle Database and supporting software. You set up the database yourself by running Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to your own liking.

Database Security

Database SecurityOracle Database Cloud Service has rigorous security practices and procedures that are based on decades of Oracle database experience.

It’s closed off and secure by default, but you have the flexibility to open network ports as needed. To access the database in your VM, you can use port opening, SSH tunneling, SQL*Net, web access, and more. And Oracle Compute Cloud Service security rules and lists give you flexible, enterprise-level security.

• Account Security: Identity Domains (user pools)

• User Security: Authentication via Oracle.com identity; access and role security

• Database security: Schema users for security (user access); data security

• RESTful Web Services Security Options: Oracle REST Data Services (formerly Oracle APEX Listener)

• SSH Tunneling: Generate and store private/public key pair on local PC; create database instance in a VM, using the public key stored on the cloud server

ManageFully manage your database or have Oracle manage standard database operations, such as backup, patching, and upgrade.

MonitorMany tools exist to monitor an Oracle Database instance, including database options directly accessible from Enterprise Manager Database Express 12c and Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control.

In addition to all the standard database-monitoring tools, Oracle Database Cloud Service includes a monitoring application that resides on a Database Cloud Service instance’s VM. This monitor provides a wide spectrum of information about VM resource usage and Oracle Database status.

Exadata Service Features and Options

Backup and RecoveryExadata Service contains an automated backup subsystem based on Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN). Backups can be stored locally on Exadata storage in the Fast Recovery Area (FRA), or remotely using Oracle Cloud Storage Containers (incurs separate charges).

Hybrid Cloud ReadyExadata Service is 100% compatible with existing Oracle Databases. Automation tools are provided for you to back up, patch, upgrade, and add databases to ensure seamless hybrid cloud strategy implementation.

Flexible, No Risk MigrationYou can perform logical migrations with Data Pump and Golden Gate Replication to reorganize and optimize your data. You can perform physical migrations by using RMAN backups, Data Guard, Transportable Tablespace or Transportable Database technologies. You can also restore data from an Oracle Database Cloud Service backup.

Zero Infrastructure ManagementYour dedicated Exadata environment is automatically provisioned for you. Oracle experts patch and maintain the hardware, firmware, storage software, and hypervisor. When convenient, you can run automated scripts to patch the database software in line with your application and workload requirements.

High Availability for Always-On OperationsExadata Service provides full data protection, consistency, transactional isolation, a fully active RAC cluster, triple mirrored storage, and redundant InfiniBand and Ethernet networks.

Mission-Critical SecurityStrict security is enforced with InfiniBand partitioning, database encryption, and the use of virtual machines to isolate the Oracle-managed hardware from your Oracle Database implementation. By default, data is encrypted in flight and at rest. Client access is via SSH, iPSec VPN, and encrypted Oracle Net connections.

With Exadata Service, you get extreme Exadata performance and powerful technologies, such as multi-tenant databases, In-Memory Databases, Real Application Clusters (RAC), InfiniBand Fabric, Smart Flash Cache, Smart Flash Log, and SQL off-loading to storage.
