style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve decided to migrate your Oracle enterprise applications to the public cloud, it’s a good idea to consider Oracle Cloud alongside alternatives such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
style="font-weight: 400;">Oracle has made big strides in the cloud lately with platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings for its middleware and database software, culminating in the release of its first infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering in late 2015.
style="font-weight: 400;">Oracle has a clear advantage over the competition when it comes to running its own applications in the cloud: it has full control over product licensing and can optimize its cloud platform for lift-and-shift migrations. This gives you a low-risk strategy for modernizing your IT portfolio.
What to expect from Oracle Cloud IaaS
style="font-weight: 400;">Migrating your enterprise applications from on-premises infrastructure to the public cloud is attractive for a number of reasons. It eliminates the costs and complexities of provisioning hardware and managing servers, storage devices, and network infrastructure; it gives you more compute capacity per dollar without upfront capital investment; and you gain opportunities for innovation through easier access to new technologies, such as advanced analytical capabilities.

There will be a networking contest with some cool prizes, plus everyone will get their very own PASS Summit Bloggers Meetup shirt!

Virtually everyone in data space today claims that they are a Big Data vendor and that their products are Big Data products. Of course — if you are not in Big Data then you are legacy. So how do you know whether a product is a Big Data product?
While there might not be fully objective criteria (and mainly because Big Data definition is still in the air and people interpret it as they see fit for their purpose), I think I can provide one good suggestion on how to determine when a certain product is NOT a Big Data product. Of course, it will depend on the definition of Big Data that you believe in.

Among the most critical but often most neglected database administration tasks is testing restore from backup. But sometimes, you don’t have a test system handy, and need to test the restore on the same host as the source database. In such situations, the biggest fear is overwriting the original database. Here is a simple procedure you can follow, which will not overwrite the source.
