The Spirit of Innovation
Oracle Open World, JavaOne, and Oracle Develop showcase new products and new
ideas from Oracle, its partners and customers, and technology enthusiasts.
When 41,000 people from 116 countries converge on San Francisco, California,
for three conferences in one, it’s clear that
the spirit of innovation in technology is
alive and well. From September 19 through
23, 2010, Oracle Open World, JavaOne, and
Oracle Develop ran concurrently and offered
attendees a look at the latest products and
services from Oracle, its partners, and the
technology community in general. Attendees
chose from more than 1,800 sessions, 400
partner exhibits, and hundreds of live demos,
plus keynotes from industry luminaries.
Oracle executives showcased a range of
hardware and software products engineered
to work together. Notable product releases
included Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud,
Oracle’s Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel,
Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle’s Exadata
Database Machine X2-8, SPARC T3 processor
and SPARC T3 systems, and Oracle Solaris
Express 11. Oracle also laid out a roadmap for
Java in the enterprise, on desktops, in mobile
technologies, and in Web browsers.
Between keynotes, sessions, and exhibits,
attendees took advantage of numerous
opportunities to network and unwind. The
Welcome Reception and OTN Night got the
week off to a great start, and at the attendee-favorite Appreciation Event, Grammy Award
winners The Black Eyed Peas and Don Henley
kept the party going. Finally, the It’s a Wrap!
party gave attendees one last chance to
celebrate. Throughout the week, the Mason
Street Tent provided a gathering place in the
center of the JavaOne and Develop action,
where attendees could build LEGO creations,
drink a micro brew, and watch live Oracle
Technology Network shows.
Oracle Open World,
JavaOne, and Oracle
Develop attracted
thousands of technology enthusiasts
from around the world.
Oracle is committed to
investing in innovation,
said Oracle President
Mark Hurd. “We will
invest to win—invest
to be the best.” He
unveiled the newest
member of the Oracle
Exadata Database
Machine family: the
Exadata Database
Machine X2-8.
