Bangalore: Oracle yesterday introduced its Big Data Solutions Platform in an effort to help enterprises deal with Big Data issues and make decisions faster. The company emerges out as the first vendor to offer comprehensive and integrated solution to address the full spectrum of enterprise big data requirements.

The company has incorporated hardware and software engineering systems in their approach toward building a strategic data management platform for better performance, reliability and scalability. 

This new Big Data platform includes Oracle Big Data Appliance, which in conjunction with Oracle Exadata, and Exalytics offers the broadest, most integrated product portfolio to help customers acquire and organize diverse data types, and then analyze them alongside existing enterprise data to discover new insights and make the most informed decisions.

 The Big Data Appliance is an engineered system built to gather, organize, and load unstructured data into Oracle Database for advanced analytics. The Exadata Database Machine provides extreme performance for both data warehousing and online transaction processing (OLTP) applications. Exalytics In-Memory Machine uses in-memory technology to deliver fast analytics, data visualization, and performance management, complementing the Exadata system. In combination with ZFS Storage Appliances and Pillar Data System, customers can implement a very robust and scalable data management infrastructure for all kinds of data for their enterprise.

“Each of these systems consists of integrated hardware and software, preconfigured, pre-tested and engineered for a certain class of data management requirements” said Kapil Sood, Vice President, Systems, Oracle India. “This unique Big Data approach from Oracle relieves customers off the integration involved in assembling a suitable set of hardware and software components to create big data architecture. In addition, it allows customers to leverage commercial quality support with the entire system being supported by a single vendor.”

“With our Big Data Solutions Platform, we are delivering the latest techniques for managing large volumes of unstructured data with Oracle Big Data Appliance and tightly integrating this data with Oracle Database, Oracle Exadata, and Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine—so organizations can do deeper analysis and quickly get real business value from big data,”said Mitesh Agarwal, CTO & Director - Systems Solution Consulting, Oracle India.

The company’s Big Data platform is engineered to explore a new chapter of data analytics which has the potential to generate business insights from different data sets changing the way how organizations traditionally use information. With Oracle solutions, Big Data management for organizations will unleash an enormous and immensely valuable set of new business, scientific and social opportunities in the coming years.
