More Midsize Companies Are Choosing Oracle Database 11g on Windows
More midsize businesses are finding the flexibility and scalability they need with a combination of Oracle Database 11g on Microsoft Windows. Windows administrators and .NET developers can take advantage of the deep integration between Oracle Database and the Microsoft Windows and .NET platforms, according to a recent IDC white paper.
"Though often coming without much fanfare, the interoperability initiatives between Oracle and Microsoft technologies around Oracle database support on Windows and with .NET application development have been substantial and have seen several iterations and improvements," says the report. "Today, interoperability has reached a significant level of depth and maturity such that Oracle database customers developing .NET applications can truly leverage the best that these two vendors have to offer in their respective areas of excellence."
Underscoring the depth of the partnership, Oracle is a key sponsor of this year's Microsoft TechEd North America conference, Microsoft's most comprehensive event for developers and IT managers, May 11-15 in Los Angeles. Oracle will feature the latest in Oracle database, .NET, and IT management technologies at its booth and has scheduled a Birds-of-a-Feather session titled Using Oracle with .NET.
"Microsoft Runs My Desktop and Oracle Runs My Business"
"Safeguard the Desktop," a feature story in the May/June edition of Oracle Magazine, profiles two customers that are using Oracle and Microsoft to create high-performing and flexible solutions at economical prices. One of the customers is Singapore's OLAM International, which runs its worldwide purchasing, distribution, and financial operations with Oracle Database on Windows.
"Oracle provides much better scalability, performance, and availability capabilities than Microsoft SQL Server," says Thiagaraja Manikandan, Olam's senior vice president and chief technology officer. "So it doesn't make sense to switch to some other technology when you're already using a top-of-the-line database."
As Chris Sykes, CEO of Volume Group, puts it, "Microsoft runs my desktop, and Oracle runs my business." He says Oracle Database is accessible, affordable, and a great fit for a small enterprise.
