Oracle Database for Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing

Oracle provides both database technology and complete hardware solutions for data warehousing:

Oracle Database 11g is a comprehensive database platform for data warehousing and business intelligence that combines industry-leading scalability and performance, deeply-integrated analytics, and embedded integration and data-quality -- all in a single platform running on a reliable, low-cost grid infrastructure. Oracle Database 11g provides best-of-breed functionality for data warehouses and data marts, with robust partitioning functionality, proven scalability to 100's of TBs, and innovative query-processing optimizations. Oracle Database 11g also provides a uniquely integrated platform for analytics; by embedding OLAP, Data Mining, and statistical capabilities directly into the database, Oracle delivers all of the functionality of standalone analytic engines with the enterprise scalability, security, and reliability of the Oracle Database. Oracle Database 11g includes the proven ETL capabilities of Oracle Warehouse Builder; robust ETL is critical for any DW/BI project, and OWB provides a solution for every Oracle Database.

Sun Oracle Database Machine provides a complete, integrated hardware and software solution for high performance data warehousing, combining the Oracle Database 11g with Sun servers, and the highly-scalable Oracle Exadata storage technology.
