Oracle Incorporated through its learning arm, Oracle University formally launched its latest update 12c, which is the world’s first database designed for the cloud in Nigeria with its global partner, New Horizons.
Over successive releases of Oracle Database continues to ease its customers’ efforts to standardise, consolidate, and automate database services.
Oracle Database 12c addresses the key challenges of customers who are consolidating databases in a private cloud model by enabling greatly improved efficiency and lower management costs, while retaining the autonomy of separate databases.
An official launch was held in Lagos recently by Oracle through its Workforce Development Program (WDP) in partnership with New Horizons Nigeria, the Nigerian arm of New Horizons International to commemorate this launch. The event took place at New Horizons Training Centre at Ikeja, Lagos.
The event attracted over 100 Nigerians, mostly industry experts and speakers, including Mr Ottmar Kugelmann, Oracle University’s Director for Africa, Middle East and Europe, Lynda Abah; Oracle University’s Education Sales Representative in Nigeria, Mr Olusesan Adejoye; General Manager, Technical/Quality Assurance, who stood in for the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of New Horizons Nigeria, Mr Tim Akano and Mr Norman Obeahon, General Manager, Retail Business for New Horizons Nigeria.
The event centred around the updates of Oracle 12c and the available opportunities for organisations and individualsin the current tech ecosystem.
With technical support for 11g gradually phasing out, individuals and organisation were challenged to start focusing on upgrading to 12c. A few of the reasons for the ugrade include better experience, because With an automated upgrade to 12C with the Upgrade Assistant, upgrading has become much better and less risky. There are lots of online resources and a whole series of Oracle technical seminars dedicated to the 12c Upgrade programme.
Also, Multitenant and Pluggable Database have improved management and reduced time and effort for database upgrades, backup, recovery, etc. More effective server resource utilisation allows for even greater levels of consolidation than 11g.
In addition, “My Oracle Support” engenders access of online resources to guide an Oracle Database Administrator (DBA) on the seamless upgrade from 11g to 12c and every Oracle Database Administrator (DBA) knows this is always a big factor in the decision of when to make the jump from one major release to the next.
