SharePlex® Data Replication: Staying Afloat After Oracle Streams (formerly Meeting Your Data-Sharing Needs Now that Oracle Streams is Deprecated)

Now that Oracle has deprecated Streams, Oracle Database Advanced Replication and Change Data Capture in Oracle Database 12c, they want you to buy Oracle GoldenGate. But this replacement is extremely expensive and leaves you vulnerable to downtime.

What if you could replace Streams with an affordable alternative that doesn’t expose you to risk? With SharePlex® data replication, you get even more functionality to avoid downtime and data loss than GoldenGate provides – all for a fraction of the price. See how you can achieve high availability, improve database performance and more with a more powerful and cost-effective replacement for Streams.

Using Data Replication to Upgrade Your Oracle® Database with Minimal Downtime

As your organization works to lower costs, one initiative can make a major difference: a database migration. Migration to hardware that is less expensive to purchase and operate, migration to less costly operating systems and migration away from older versions of Oracle that may require expensive extended support contracts can save you a lot of money. But without the right approach, migrations can cause costly downtime and data loss.

What if you could move to more affordable platforms without any of the risk? With SharePlex® data replication, you can migrate to the database platform of your choice with zero downtime and zero data loss.

In this white paper, we will explore the types of migrations and their challenges as well as established best practices for ensuring success.

A Galaxy of IT Insights

At Eaton, we've always strived to get to know IT pros and their needs by listening to them directly. Recently we launched My IT Galaxy, a questionnaire-slash-infographic creator, where nearly 900 IT pros told us about their day-to-day realities, infrastructure, and stance on pizza toppings.

Our survey included a spectrum of environments, organizations and industries, including education, healthcare, finance, and retail. And so, a whole galaxy of IT insights was born. Here are some of the results.

Moving legacy applications to containers

Legacy applications are not typically considered for public cloud deployments because of security, regulatory, data locality, or performance concerns. Containers make many of the services offered by public cloud providers possible and help increase automation. Migrating legacy applications to containers removes barriers to modernization. Red Hat® OpenShift® helps organizations complete this migration, letting them respond better to changing business demands. Read this brief to learn more.

Your open hyperconverged infrastructure to-do list

An open hyperconverged infrastructure is a great way to reduce deployment complexity, operational overhead, and expenses. RedHat can help you build an open source-based infrastructure that will work for you now and in the future. Use this checklist to determine if you have everything your business needs to implement an open hyperconverged infrastructure.

Storage Patterns for Kubernetes for Dummies

Have you run containers and discovered that storage isn’t as simple as mounting a directory? Perhaps you have exposure to Kubernetes and have discovered volumes but need more? The vast and flexible world of hyper converged infrastructure and how that can be implemented with Kubernetes can help. Beyond understanding the pieces and parts, Kubernetes brings it all together with concrete examples of how your applications can benefit from enhanced storage capabilities.

“Not Your Father’s” Online Video Platform

Online video platforms (OVPs) first launched in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a similar promise to the once-iconic automobile brand: “Not your father’s Oldsmobile” campaign. However, as OVPs evolved, partly to address our insatiable appetite for video, they became more and more complex. Tools for every step of the video-delivery process—from ingestion to storage to encoding, and so forth—came with their own set of shiny knobs and dials. Configurations and procedures for even trivial tasks required a study of user manuals, causing disenchantment, stress, and aversion all around. Cloudinary is excited to be launching new, game-changing video-management capabilities today to tackle that challenge.

Cloudinary is Money for Mediavine, Simplifying Video Management

As the exclusive ad manager for more than 3,900 digital publishers, Mediavine relies on video for monetizing content. Unsatisfied with the way ad networks were run, Mediavine saw an opportunity to break free from the burdens and constraints of legacy ad networks by creating its own ad management service.

Learn how Mediavine was able to streamline their developer workflow, optimizing video performance and reducing bandwidth usage.

Cloudinary Helps Hinge Keep Modern Romance Real

Hinge, the relationship app, is taking a different approach to online dating. Instead of encouraging casual dating, the Hinge app is designed to help individuals build meaningful relationships. With Hinge, users can upload both photos and short videos intended to help them strike up two-way conversations that foster stronger connections and turn virtual connections into real romance.

Learn how Hinge is able to support their user-generated content during direct uploads from their users’ devices, resizing and cropping this media on- the-fly to fit the graphic design, and optimizing the quality and format for improved performance.

Your Guide to Developing a Multi-Cloud Data Strategy

Organizations today are adopting cloud-based applications, platforms, and services to achieve greater elasticity and faster delivery times in today’s app-driven world.

As the name suggests, adopting a multi-cloud strategy means using multiple cloud services from different providers, with workloads spread out across cloud environments. While most businesses require rapid and flexible access to computing, storage, and networking resources, not all enterprises are pursuing multi-cloud for the same reasons.

Of course, not every team, business function, or application workload will have similar requirements in regards to performance, privacy, security, or geographic reach for its cloud environments. Whatever the impetus, companies must build a culture that puts data front and center in a world where every company is becoming a data company. This leads us to our main points: understanding key data challenges and getting your data ready for multi-cloud environments.
