Oracle NoSQL Database Available for Download

Part of Oracle’s portfolio of big data products, Oracle NoSQL Database is available for download from Oracle Technology Network. Oracle NoSQL Database enables organizations to easily manage dynamic schemas with massive amounts of data such as Web log data, sensor and smart meter data, data gathered for personalization, and data maintained by social networks. With a simple key-value data model, the highly available and scalable Oracle NoSQL Database facilitates efficient storage of data in a simple, flexible format and is suited for rapid development and deployment of applications.

Oracle NoSQL Database is commercial-
grade software that is fast, scalable, reli-
able, easy to install and configure, and
backed by Oracle Support. It scales almost
linearly, providing users with reliable per-
formance under a wide range of workloads
and use cases. Oracle NoSQL Database also
manages consistency and offers developers
configurable consistency options to meet
different application needs. Its simple pro-
gramming and operational model provides
extreme flexibility of programming for large
data sets in horizontally scaled environ-
ments. And a Web-based console provides
automatic management and monitoring
of topology, load balancing, performance,
events, and alerts.
“As customers look to manage the huge
explosion in data from new and evolving
sources, such as Web, sensors, social net-
works, and mobile applications, Oracle is
helping them unlock the value of this data by
providing a highly available, reliable, and scal-
able Oracle NoSQL Database environment,”
says Andy Mendelsohn, senior vice president
of database server technologies at Oracle.

Oracle Application Development Framework Mobile Client Previewed

Oracle Open World attendees got a sneak peak at the next-generation Oracle Application Development Framework Mobile Client (Oracle ADF Mobile Client), an extension of Oracle ADF that simplifies mobile application development. This release will allow developers to write applications once and deploy them to multiple device platforms, including

Apple iOS mobile devices. It also provides deep and complete access to a mobile device’s native capabilities, such as calendars, cameras, and GPS. In addition, tight integration with Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications enables organizations to extend enterprise processes and data to mobile users. Oracle ADF Mobile Client leverages Oracle ADF’s rich visual and declarative environment so that developers don’t have to learn new skills or development paradigms.

“As developers increasingly work on more-sophisticated mobile business applications, they need tools that will help them quickly and easily deploy native and Web functionality to mobile devices,” says Ted Farrell, chief architect and senior vice president of tools and middleware at Oracle. “Oracle ADF Mobile Client continues to enhance developer productivity, bringing together capabilities that significantly simplify mobile application development, while also helping to ensure that enterprise applications can be easily extended to mobile channels.”
