Oracle Modifies User Engagement Platform
Oracle has restructured Oracle WebCenter,
its complete, open, and integrated portfolio of portal, Web experience management, and content and social computing
technology. Oracle WebCenter’s four components include Oracle WebCenter Sites,
Oracle WebCenter Portal, Oracle WebCenter
Content, and Oracle WebCenter Connect.
Oracle WebCenter Sites is a set of tools
that allow business users to quickly create,
deploy, target, and measure multichannel
online marketing. These tools allow business users to deliver relevant, optimized, and
content-rich contextual Web experiences
and extend brand engagement and Web
presence to mobile and social channels.
Oracle WebCenter Portal is a set of portal
and composite applications that deliver
intuitive, personalized, and contextual user
experiences for enterprise applications. A
prebuilt library of components can be used
to enhance existing enterprise applications
and to create new composite applications.
Oracle WebCenter Content is a unified
content management capability that ensures
seamless access to the right information
in the appropriate business context. This
component helps organizations implement a
strategic content infrastructure for managing
documents, images, and rich media files
while delivering contextual integration with
enterprise applications.
Oracle WebCenter Connect is a set of
social tools that accelerates business pro-
cesses by allowing users to collaborate on
activities and connect with internal experts
to address business challenges.
“Organizations are seeking ways to boost
customer loyalty and improve business per-
formance by maximizing engagement with
internal and external constituents,” says
Andy MacMillan, vice president of product
management at Oracle. “The latest evolution
of Oracle WebCenter represents the conver-
gence point for all products under Oracle’s
Enterprise 2.0 portfolio, making it easier for
customers to achieve that goal.”

Oracle Updates In-Memory Data Grid
Exabus high-speed communication feature
in Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud to increase
scalability and lower the latency of data grid
operations. Combined with Exabus tech-
nology, Oracle Coherence provides the next
generation of massively scalable, low-latency
data and state management for middleware
applications.
Oracle has unveiled Oracle Coherence 3. 7. 1,
the latest release of its in-memory data grid.
Oracle Coherence provides users with greater
flexibility in data grid client languages,
reduced latency, and increased throughput
of network communication when deployed
on Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud and significant performance improvements for seamlessly managing data across memory and
disk-based solutions.
Enhancements to the Oracle Coherence
Elastic Data feature provide more-efficient
memory and disk-based storage and improve
data access performance, giving users greater
flexibility, expanded capacity, and more efficiency in their existing infrastructure.
Oracle Coherence features a new REST
API that allows users to leverage popular
client languages, such as PHP and Python,
to access, manipulate, and report on data
stored in the Oracle Coherence data grid.
REST support complements the existing
Java, . NE T, and C++ support in Oracle
Coherence, giving users flexibility in their
application design, environment, and development choices.
Oracle Coherence leverages Oracle’s
I-HUA CHEN
Also new is the ability to analyze the
efficiency of queries against data in Oracle
Coherence by generating an explain plan to
explain the calculated effectiveness of each
element of an Oracle Coherence query.
“Oracle Coherence 3. 7. 1 continues to
reduce complexity, ease integration, and
accelerate time to market of scalable solu-
tions through new features, such as Query
Explain Plan and REST support,” says
Cameron Purdy, vice president of develop-
ment at Oracle. “At the same time, when
running on an Oracle Exalogic engineered
system, Oracle Coherence 3. 7. 1 leverages
Oracle’s Exabus technology to achieve the
lowest latencies and highest throughput.”
