We’re on the Road to Oracle CloudWorld. From September 18-21 in Las Vegas, Oracle will bring together its customers and partners. Acceleration Economy’s Road to Oracle CloudWorld series will feature Oracle execs previewing what’s to come at this year’s conference. For this podcast, I spoke with Jenny Tsai-Smith, vice president, overall database product management at Oracle, who will be a featured speaker at the event.
Road to Oracle CloudWorld | Databases with Jenny Tsai-Smith
The Big Themes
- Inclusive to all customers: Oracle is using the name “Database World at CloudWorld” to make it clear that cloud, hybrid, and on-premises Oracle Database customers are all included in this part of the conference. Last year, some on-premises customers mistakenly thought that it might be geared exclusively toward cloud customers.
- AI integrated into Oracle Database: Oracle has incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into its database offerings. The company already supports over 30 ML algorithms within the database, enabling data processing and training without moving data outside. Graph analytics and real-time graph views are among the upcoming AI-related features.
- Enhancements in Exadata and developer support: Oracle’s Exadata product line, in collaboration with AMD, brings enhanced performance through increased memory, processing speed, and storage. The company is committed to supporting a variety of customer configurations, acknowledging the transition to the cloud while ensuring on-premises options. Developers are also a focus, with a developer-friendly release approach, tools to increase productivity, and discussions about features like Kubernetes support and data processing enhancements.
The Big Quote: ” …We’re going back to those same roots, if you will, and looking at what are things that developers really care about? Maybe they’re even suffering through. And how can we solve those kinds of problems for them?”
