DBAs are being increasingly saddled with more responsibilities, and it is turning out to be a considerable strain on an organization to handle them manually. Oracle, the pioneer in database technology, has redefined database management with the world’s first Autonomous Database, Oracle 18c. An Autonomous Database eliminates complexity, human-error, and manual intervention.

Oracle’s autonomous database is self-driving, which means the user defines the service level and the database makes sure it happens. It’s also self-securing and would provide protection against both external threats and malicious internal users.

With the autonomous database, Oracle has introduced the following to the age-old database technology.

Automation in Self-tuning

This includes space management, memory management, query tuning, etc. By automating these tasks, it frees up the DBAs from performing repetitive tasks.

Database technology has been witnessing automation over the last decade, but the extent of being autonomous has been finally achieved.

A roadway to Cloud

Oracle 18c offers customers a complete end-to-end solution for their database architecture. Instead of having to build their own storage, network, and servers, now they can get a pre-configured, pre-optimized, pre-tested and highly available system to run on the Oracle Exadata. This can be seen as a stepping stone of their journey to the cloud. 18c would enable organizations to channelize their IT workforce to innovate and improve the core business operations.

Better value to Business

18c maintains a data log of its own, providing business insights, and thus, a better value for your business data. These insights can enable the management teams to take informed and prompt decisions.

Companies can now spend less time on generic maintenance tasks and invest a lot more time in innovating and executing more projects.

It also enables you to gain control of your database management process and automates quick provisioning of the necessary system storage and networks, thus reducing dependability on other teams. Oracle 18c has laid the foundation for an automated infrastructure, thus beginning an automation revolution that will make businesses agile and more efficient.
