| Oracle ACE Product Briefings |
| "ACE it" with MAA: HA, Scalability, DR & MAA in Oracle Database 21c - Overview on March 23rd with Markus Michalewicz |
This webinar is the first in a series of quarterly and interactive webinars, in which the Oracle Database High Availability (HA), Scalability, Disaster Recovery (DR) and Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) product management team will update the ACE community on the latest (and greatest) in the area of Oracle Database High Availability and related technologies. Goal of these regular webinars is the open dialog with the ACE community regarding current and planned product features as well as use cases for Oracle product management to understand the requirements of Oracle customers and partners better and for the ACE community to help spread the word effectively.
The first webinar in this series lays the foundation with an overview of the new and innovative HA, scalability, DR & MAA features in Oracle Database 21c, Oracle's first Innovation Release. This presentation covers the purpose of Innovation Releases and how to provide the most scalable and reliable Oracle Database available today by not only discussing some of the database but also infrastructure features contributing to this unprecedented level of resiliency.
ACEs attending this session will get a broad understanding of the new release concepts and how to use the new HA features and technologies in their Oracle Database projects effectively. This webinar is most suited for:
- Consultants / Architects
- DBAs / DBA Managers
- Oracle Experts and Generalists
This session will be presented by Markus Michalewicz, who has been with Oracle for 20 years in various positions and currently manages the Oracle Database High Availability (HA), Scalability, and Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) product management (PM) team, which is part of Oracle Database development.
The next webinar in this series complements the first occurrence with an in-depth update on Oracle's Maximum Availability Architecture best practices, especially on Oracle Cloud.
Please note we are offering two live interactive sessions to accommodate all time zones.
Session 1: Tuesday, March 24th at 8:00 AM PST
Session 2: Tuesday, March 24th at 6:00 PM PST
