Other Oracle Server Offerings for the Apple Network Server

Oracle Enterprise Server 7.3.2

  • The Oracle7 Server provides efficient, reliable, and secure data management for applications ranging from high-volume online transaction systems to query-intensive data warehouse applications. Oracle7 not only supports the complex data management needs of businesses today, but also provides the tools to manage the sys-tems, the flexibility to distribute the data to users effec-tively and efficiently, and scalability to achieve optimal performance from all available computing resources.

Oracle WebServer 2.0: The first scalable, secure web application platform

  • As you would expect from the leader in database tech-nology, the Oracle WebServer can be fully integrated with the Oracle7 database. Rather than making devel-opers write tedious CGI programs or PERL scripts, Oracle WebServer delivers dynamic HTML pages directly through the Web Request Broker. Because client requests are translated and dispatched directly to the Oracle7 Server using PL/SQL--Oracle's procedural language for Oracle7--your data-driven web applica-tions will run far faster than with other web servers.

Oracle Video Server

  • The Oracle Video Option is an end-to-end software solution that enables customers to store, manage, and deliver real-time, full-screen video and high-fidelity audio to clients over a corporate network. As an option to Oracle7 Release 7.3, the Oracle Video Option extends the traditional data model to include high-quality audio and video. With the Oracle Video Option, customers can embed compelling full-motion video into existing data-base applications, or develop new applications. Example applications include training-on-demand, corporate com-munication repositories, marketing information systems, multimedia product catalogs, and point-of-sale kiosks.

Oracle Web Apps

  • Oracle Applications for the web is an innovative family of products that goes far beyond just extending our Oracle Applications functionality to the web. Rather, Oracle Web Apps are a new class of self-service applica-tions that broaden the user base by including customers, suppliers, and employees in Oracle Applications. Using the web to satisfy self-service requirements is a low-cost approach to increasing productivity and service.
