New Test Drive of Oracle's Big Data Available

Vlamis is now offering the new Big Data test drive from Oracle, and we are looking for test drivers! It is in beta version right now, so you can expect a few rough edges, but we'd appreciate your input. The Big Data test drive is actually comprised of five individual hands on labs that explore both Big Data and NoSQL Access to the Oracle Database.

You can actually try Oracle Big Data Lite's MoviePlex and see the inner workings of a movie streaming company. The registration process for the Big Data Test Drive has been redesigned for an easier, more user-friendly experience. Once a user launches the test drive, there is a video as well as written instruction that takes you through the start-up process. Whereas Vlamis's other test drive offerings use a simple browser connection that offers immediate environment access, the Big Data test drive requires a VNC Viewer and just a few minutes for access to the instance. Once the instance is created is stays live for 12 hours, or until the user shuts it down, whichever comes first.

Our other test drives are still available as well for OBIEE, Oracle Advanced Analytics and Oracle OLAP with Microsoft Excel.

Vlamis Presenting at Collaborate 14

Collaborate 14 is just around the corner, taking place at The Venetian in Las Vegas, April 7 - April 11. Vlamis will again take an active part in the conference with three BI track presentations: Data Visualization for Mobile Devices for OBI 11g, Making Your Data Warehouse FASTER, Dashboard and Visualization Best Practices for OBI Applications. We are also presenting Managing the Social Responsibility Challenges of Analytics in 21st Century Organizations as part of IOUG's Strategic Leadership Program. We are looking forward to seeing all who are attending the conference, and look forward to the opportunity to get together individually. Call Dan, Tim or Kim and we'll plan a time to get together!

Oracle Database In-Memory Option Coming Soon

Did you hear the one about Larry Ellison and the in-memory option to the database? . He talked about the newest thing in database analytics at OpenWorld last fall.... Oracle Database's soon-to-be In-Memory option. We had the opportunity to chat with our friends at Oracle about the upcoming release. We are very active with this technology. Beyond just the pure acceleration of queries, expect this option to change what people can do with the Oracle database, especially with analytic queries. There will certainly be more to come soon!
