"Converged" Oracle Fusion Middleware provides power to enterprise cloud environments

Traditional data centers are built around a single application or multiple islands of application, and the maintenance of proprietary technology and applications takes up a lot of innovative resources, and only a few resources can be used to create business value. The emergence of cloud computing has changed this situation, providing companies with more opportunities to create greater business value. The good virtualization features of cloud computing can be flexibly deployed according to the business needs of the enterprise, while the design pattern of cloud computing can be rapidly optimized and innovated, which greatly reduces it complexity, helps the enterprise to effectively improve it cost structure and meet the increasing environmental requirements.

In view of this, cloud computing in recent years has been widely concerned by domestic and foreign enterprises. Global corporate investment in cloud computing will continue to grow over the next 10 years, according to a report by Forrester, a leading analyst, in April 2011, with 2020 investment expected to grow 6 times times more than 240 billion dollars in 2011. However, the key to truly implementing cloud computing is whether the enterprise IT department can transform existing IT architectures and solution delivery patterns to meet current IT requirements.

In a recent Oracle Fusion middleware 11g Media Communication Conference, Oracle Asia Pacific and Japan Region Fusion middleware product management Director Li Guodong said: "In order to maximize the development of cloud computing opportunities to achieve the real landing of cloud computing, Enterprises need to complete the transformation of it models in four ways: organizing and allocating IT resources, developing and managing critical business processes, collaborating and developing interfaces, and protecting and managing infrastructure. Comprehensive, integrated, open Oracle Fusion Middleware technology and products can effectively help enterprises adapt to the development of cloud computing, accelerate the completion of the cloud computing model transformation, reduce enterprise IT investment, and thus improve the return on investment in cloud computing. ”

The change of it mode becomes the key to Enterprise cloud computing

Organize and assign IT resources

The island of information is the biggest problem in the process of enterprise informatization. The existence of islands restricts the sharing of internal resources, which seriously affects the interconnection and interoperability among the resource systems. By reorganizing, allocating and effectively integrating its IT resources, enterprises can break the existing information island and information system overload status, realize resource sharing and optimization.

Develop applications and manage critical business processes

Because of the existence of islands of information, enterprises are prone to waste of resources and delay of delivery in the process of solving application problems and managing business processes. Service-oriented application architecture, managed and self-service shared services platform can help enterprises easily implement application development and key business process management, reduce their IT cost and management workload.

Collaboration and development interface

Traditional business application development is often in a state of disconnection between business line requirements and it developers, which can easily lead to incomplete application functions and incompatible with actual business needs. By transforming and intensifying collaboration and development interfaces, such as leveraging some highly collaborative social networking platforms, organizations can maintain effective communication between end users, line-of-business applications and IT development departments, shorten application and business online time, and enhance market adhesion and sensitivity.

Protection and management of infrastructure

With the continuous development of IT applications, especially the development of cloud computing, users have a large number of remote and dynamic access to and use of core data resources, the IT system has brought a very large security threats, comprehensive data center infrastructure security is particularly important, which is essential for service-oriented security services layer, This drives the Enterprise data center infrastructure to shift to high security and management.
