Overview

Back to Topic List

The Oracle Collaboration Suite middle tier provides integrated enterprisewide communication, content management, and context management applications. It enables enables users of desktops, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), faxes, telephones, and Web clients to collaborate with one another and perform daily tasks. The components are:

Oracle Email

Use Oracle Email to manage your email, using standard Internet mail protocols, such as IMAP, SMTP, and POP-3.

Oracle Calendar With Oracle Calendar you can manage your calendar, manage group calendars, schedule meetings and other resources, and perform personal information management (PIM) through desktop clients, the Web, and mobile devices.

Oracle Files With Oracle Files, you can access, manage, and share your files using a consolidated file server that supports several different file protocols, such as NFS, FTP, SMB and WebDAV. Use the Oracle Files Web-based user interface to secure, author, and publish content.

Oracle Voicemail & Fax

With Oracle Voicemail & Fax, you can store, retrieve, and deliver voice mail and faxes using wireless devices and browser clients.

Oracle Web Conferencing With Oracle Web Conferencing, you can schedule and conduct meetings online. You can share your desktop with other participants, chat among participants and stream voice.

Wireless & Voice

Use Oracle Collaboration Suite Wireless to access your corporate information using any device with wireless or voice access. For example, you can keep track of the latest information by receiving notifications for meetings through Calendar and by accessing your email, voice-mail, calendar, address book, tasks, files, corporate directories, and instant messages.

Oracle Ultra Search Using Oracle Ultra Search, you can locate information within the intranet or extranet by searching Web pages, file systems, Oracle Email, Oracle9iAS Portal, and Oracle9i databases. You can also extend Oracle Ultra Search to search other custom data sources.

Oracle9iAS Portal Use Oracle9iAS Portal to build, deploy, and monitor Web database applications and content-driven Web sites. With the Oracle9iAS Portal home page for Oracle Collaboration Suite, you can access all Oracle Collaboration Suite components through a single web site.

HTTP and OC4J

HTTP and OC4J includes the HTTP Server, OC4J, and Web Cache. These components enable your administrators and users to access the infrastructure tier using HTTP:

Oracle HTTP Server is the HTTP entry point into Oracle Collaboration Suite. The Oracle HTTP Server is based on the Apache web server, but with additional and enhanced modules.
Web Cache is a caching reverse proxy server that is located in front of the Oracle HTTP Server. It improves performance of Web server instances by storing frequently accessed pages in memory, eliminating the need to repeatedly process requests for pages from the Web server, the applications, or the Oracle database.
Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE (OC4J) is a fast, lightweight, highly scalable, easy-to-use, and complete Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) container written entirely in Java, that executes on the standard Java Development Kit (JDK) Virtual Machine (Java VM) available on the operating systems and hardware platforms on which Oracle9iAS is certified.
