Oracle Corporation ORACLE CORPORATION The Oracle Corporation is an American global computer technology corporation, headquartered in Redwood City, California. The company primarily specializes in developing and marketing computer hardware systems and enterprise software products – particularly its own brands of database management systems. In 2011 Oracle was the second- largest software maker by revenue, after Microsoft.[3] The company also develops and builds tools for database development and systems of middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) software and supply chain management (SCM) software. Larry Ellison, a co-founder of Oracle, served as Oracle's CEO from founding. On September 18, 2014, it was announced that he would be stepping down (with Mark Hurd and Safra Catz to become CEOs). Ellison became executive chairman and CTO.[4] He also served as the Chairman of the Board until his replacement by Jeffrey O. Henley in 2004. On August 22, 2008, the Associated Press ranked Ellison as the top-paid chief executive in the world.[5] Larry Ellison , Ellison was born in New York City but grew up in Chicago. He studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and the University of Chicago without graduating before moving to California in 1966. While working at Ampex in the early 1970s, he became influenced by Edgar F. Codd's research on relational database design, which led in 1977 to the formation of what became Oracle. Oracle became a successful database vendor to mid- and low- Larry Ellison in October 2009. range systems, competing with Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server, Born August 17, 1944 (age 71) which led to Ellison being listed by Forbes Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York, U.S. as the richest Californian in 2006.

Ellison took inspiration from the 1970 paper written by Edgar F. Codd on relational database management systems (RDBMS) named "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks. He heard about the IBM System R database from an article in the IBM Research Journal provided by Oates. Also derived from Codd's theories, Ellison wanted to make Oracle's product compatible with System R, but failed to do so as IBM kept the error codes for their DBMS a secret. SDL changed its name to Relational Software, Inc (RSI) in 1979, then again to Oracle Systems Corporation in 1982 to align itself more closely with its flagship product Oracle Database. At this stage Bob Miner served as the company's senior programmer. In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation, officially named Oracle, but sometimes referred to as Oracle Corporation, the name of the holding company. Part of Oracle Corporation's early success arose from using the C programming language to implement its products. This eased porting to different operating systems (most of which support C). Overall timeline Oracle Linux - A free Linux distribution supported by Oracle since 2006. 1970s June 16, 1977: Software Development Laboratories (SDL) is incorporated in Santa Clara, California[1] by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner andEd Oates. 1978: Oracle Version 1, written in assembly language, runs on PDP-11 under RSX-11, in 128 KB of memory. Implementation separates Oracle code from user code. Oracle V1 is never officially released. The name Oracle comes from the code name of a CIA project which the founders had all worked on while at the Ampex Corporation. June 1979: SDL is renamed to Relational Software Inc. (RSI)] and relocated to Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, California. Oracle 2, the first version of the Oracle database software, as purchased by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, runs on PDP-11 hardware. The company decides to name the first version of its flagship product "version 2" rather than "version 1" because it believes customers might hesitate to buy the initial release of its product. October 1979: RSI actively promotes Oracle on the VAX platform (the software runs on the VAX in PDP-11 emulator mode). 1980s 1981: Umang Gupta joins RSI, where he writes the first business plan for the company and serves as Vice President and General Manager. February 1981: RSI begins developing tools for the Oracle Database, including the Interactive Application Facility (IAF), a predecessor to Oracle*Forms. 1982: RSI renames itself Oracle Systems Corporation in order to align itself more closely with its primary product. March 1983: Oracle Database is rewritten in C for portability and Oracle version 3 is released. April 1984: Oracle receives additional funding from Sequoia Capital. October 1984: Oracle version 4 is released, introducing read consistency. November 1984: Oracle database software is ported to the PC platform. The MS- DOS version (4.1.4) of Oracle runs in only 512 KB of memory. (Oracle for MSDOS version 5, released in 1986, runs in Protected Mode on 286 machines using a technique invented by Mike Roberts, among the first products to do so.) April 1985: Oracle version 5 is released – one of the first RDBMSs to operate in client- server mode. 1986: Oracle version 5.1 is released with support for distributed queries. Investigations into clustering begin. March 12, 1986: Oracle goes public with a revenue of $55 million. August 1987: Oracle founds its Applications division, building business-management software closely integrated with its database software. Oracle acquires TCI for its project management software. 1988: Oracle version 6 is released with support for row-level locking and hot backups. The developers embedded the PL/SQL procedural language engine into the database but made no provision to store program blocks such as procedures and triggers in the database – this capability came in version 7. Users could submit PL/SQL blocks for immediate execution in the server from an environment such as SQL*Plus, or via SQL statements embedded in a host program. Oracle included separate PL/SQL engines in various client tools (such as SQL*Forms and Reports). 1989: Oracle moves its world headquarters to Redwood Shores, California. Revenues reach $584 million. 1990s 1990: In the third quarter, Oracle reports its first ever loss;[14] it lays off hundreds of employees. Ellison hires Michael S. Fields as President of Oracle U.S.A., Jeffrey O. Henley as CFO and Raymond J. Lane as COO. June 1992: Oracle 7 is released with performance enhancements, administrative utilities, application-development tools, security features, the ability to persist PL/SQL program units in the database as stored procedures and triggers, and support for declarative referential integrity. 1993: Oracle releases its "Cooperative Development Environment" (CDE), which bundles Oracle Forms, Reports, Graphics, and Book. 1994: Oracle acquires the database-product DEC Rdb (subsequently called Oracle Rdb) from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Oracle Rdb operates only on theOpenVMS platform (also a former product of DEC). June 1, 1995: Oracle Systems Corporation announces the merger of Oracle Corporation into Oracle Systems Corporation. This transaction eliminates the holding company structure and streamlines the operating company, Oracle Corporation, with the public holding company, Oracle Systems Corporation. As part of the merger, Oracle Systems Corporation is renamed Oracle Corporation and is the surviving entity incorporated as a Delaware corporation. June 21, 1995: Oracle Corporation announces new data-warehousing facilities, including parallel queries. November 1995: Oracle becomes one of the first[citation needed] large software companies to announce an Internet strategy when Ellison introduces the Network Computerconcept at an IDC conference in Paris. 1996: Oracle releases Web Browser of the Oracle PowerBrowser. April 1997: Oracle releases the first version of Discoverer. June 1997: Oracle 8 is released with SQL object technology, Internet technology and support for terabytes of data. September 1997: Oracle Corporation announces a commitment to the Java platform, and introduces Oracle's Java integrated development environment, subsequently called Oracle JDeveloper. January 1998: Oracle releases Oracle Applications 10.7 Network Computing Architecture (NCA). All the applications in the business software now run across the web in a standard web browser. May 1998: Oracle Corporation releases Oracle Applications 11. April 1998: Oracle announces that it will integrate a Java Virtual Machine with Oracle Database. September 1998: Oracle 8i is released (the i stands for Internet).

  • Oracle Takes on IBM and HP with Hardware, Software and Services Triple Play by Arif Mohamed
    CW+ a whitepaper from ComputerWeekly Oracle takes on IBM and HP with hardware, software and services triple play by Arif Mohamed This has been a landmark year for Oracle, the technology company headed by the charismatic and staggeringly wealthy Larry Ellison. Ellison, who is 65, has been chief executive officer since he founded Oracle in June 1977. He was listed the sixth richest person in the world in 2010. And his personal wealth of $27bn is a clear indication of Oracle’s success as an IT supplier. Oracle began the year by completing its $7.4bn acquisition of Sun Microsystems. The deal transformed Oracle from a software and consulting company, into a company able to compete on software, hardware and services. The deal gave Oracle Sun’s MySQL database, Sparc/Solaris servers, plus Sun’s storage hardware and flagship Java portfolio of tools and technologies. 2010 also marked the conclusion of an aggressive spending spree that has seen Oracle buying over 66 technology companies since 2002. These include CRM suppliers Siebel and PeopleSoft, middleware giant BEA Systems and storage specialist StorageTek. Six years on, Oracle has announced the fruits of its integration work, which began in 2004 when it bought PeopleSoft, which owned JD Edwards. Although Oracle has integrated the suites of applications from each subsequent merger to some degree, but it has now revealed a suite of software, Fusion Applications, which promises to unite them all for the first time through a common middleware layer, and run on optimised hardware from the Sun acquisition. Its Fusion Applications range of enterprise products, due out in January, will also give an upgrade path to enterprise users of Oracle’s legacy CRM and other business packages including PeopleSoft, Siebel and JD Edwards.

  • Oracle's Open-Source Shopping Spree
    FEBRUARY 9, 2006 NEWS ANALYSIS By Sarah Lacy Oracle's Open-Source Shopping Spree The database giant is in talks to purchase at least three software companies that would help it shift customers to a subscriber-based model The open-source community may be in for a jolt. Oracle (ORCL) is plotting what could be the biggest endorsement yet by a mainstream software company for a movement that involves legions of developers across the globe who publish "open" software distributed freely over the Net, making money instead from support and maintenance. It's a bold bet for a company that gets a healthy chunk of its $16 billion in annual sales from multimillion-dollar software packages deals, but Oracle is ready to spend big on open source. Oracle is in talks to buy at least three open-source software companies in deals that could be valued at more than $600 million, BusinessWeek Online has learned. The transactions would extend the 18-month, $18 billion spending spree by Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison that has engulfed PeopleSoft and Siebel Systems. They would also put Oracle in control of some of the most sought-after open-source projects. Overnight, Redwood Shores (Calif.)-based Oracle would rival IBM (IBM) as the prime evangelist of a movement that's revolutionizing how software is developed and distributed (see BW Online, 2/6/06, "Open Source's New Frontiers"). TRIPLE PLAY. The largest of the three targets is Atlanta-based JBoss, which specializes in so- called middleware, the software that serves as a connection between disparate programs.

Usually, it’s harder to pinpoint. Amazing what you can accomplish once you have the information you need. When the source of a database-driven application slowdown isn’t immediately obvious, try a tool that can get you up to speed. One that pinpoints database bottlenecks and calculates application wait time at each step. Confio lets you unravel slowdowns at the database level with no installed agents. And solving problems where they exist costs a tenth of working around it by adding new server CPU’s. Now that’s a vision that can take you places. A smarter solution makes everyone look brilliant.
