Oracle Database Appliance

Oracle Database Appliance is a completely integrated package of software, compute, networking, and storage that is optimized and engineered to offer performance and scale for your Oracle Databases and applications. It reduces complexity, saves time, and gets you up and running faster.
Supports both Bare Metal and VM deployments, so the customer can leverage the platform to fit better the applications they need.
We offer the best performance and manageability for Oracle databases and applications for on-Premise deployments. For that, we have developed a comprehensive framework in Java, Python and C++ to administer, monitor and optimize the hardware and applications for getting the user experience of our platform.
Oracle Database Appliance is the building block for Oracle Cloud Database service, the hardware and software stacks are almost identical. Since 2017, we divided the team in on-prem and Cloud to focus on the special needs for each set of customers. Our current team is the on-prem side, working on providing solutions for customers running ODA on their data centers and collaborating with Oracle Cloud to provide integrated solutions.
