Oracle OpenWorld Day 3: New Telco Appliance, PeopleSoft Update and Java 7
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison took stage on Sunday at OpenWorld and revealed the next generation Exa machines and the 12c database software, along with his company’s plans to pursue a services strategy, and lastly, a big partnership with Nokia. Thankfully the one-hour long opening keynote hasn’t stopped Oracle from keeping the remaining four days of the event interesting, so let’s recap on day 3 of OpenWorld 2012.
Yesterday Oracle debuted a newly engineered system specifically built for telecommunications companies and service providers. The Oracle Network Applications Platform is a pre-configured appliance that allows telcos to skip the process of putting together hardware and software components from different vendors. It can deliver service availability of ‘up to seven 9’s’, and can achieve reduce overheads associated with integration and testing costs by up to a third.
Oracle is touting a couple of other stats as well: the Network Applications Platform can supposedly reduce operational costs by up to 64 percent, while shaving as much 40 percent off the time-to-market of new services.
Day 3 also featured the launch of a new mobile solutions package. The PeopleSoft HR software portfolio was extended with the addition of Mobile Expenses, the Mobile Approvals employee communications tool and Mobile Company Directory, an internal search service. The three HTML5 apps are optimized for the iPad and work as an extension of the desktop environment.
Lastly, Oracle gave the community a sneak peak into the next release of Java. Version 7 will feature better HTML5 support thanks to new APIs and a more flexible security configuration, in addition to support for technologies such as Servlet 3.1 NIO and WebSockets. Oracle says that the development effort is carried by hundreds of engineers from no less than 30 different enterprises.
