Application Server Upgrade –

Customer Advice

• Taxonomy of Customers/Partners

• Investment Primarily Focussed on Oracle Application Server

• Investment Split Between WebLogic Server and Oracle

Application Server

• General Advice

• Oracle Application Server - Continue deployments and

upgrade schedule within Oracle Application Server family until

FMW 11 R1

• Some tactical approaches depending on starting point –

specifically SOA Suite and WebCenter

18

Oracle Application Server Upgrade to

Fusion Middleware 11 R1

• Oracle Fusion Middleware Suites generally will have a formal migration procedure from OracleAS 10g R2 and OracleAS 10g R3 to Fusion Middleware 11 R1 (already existed for pre-FMW 11)

• Oracle Portal

• Oracle Discoverer

• SOA Suite

• Oracle Forms and Reports

• WebCenter/ADF

• Identity Management

• Applications built using J2EE and deployed on OC4J will need to be redeployed to FMW 11 R1

• Migration guides and best practices will be made available

• Evaluation of tooling to facilitate migration is under way

• Primary area of planning is operations and administration change

19

Major Directions

Forward

Customer Problems

• Industry trends driving new infrastructure demands

• SOA, WOA, SaaS, Cloud, RIA, Consolidation, Mobile

• New levels of performance, scale, availability

• Highly unpredictable performance requirements

• Developers require more flexibility and choice

• Java Enterprise Edition, Spring, SCA, CEP, Scripting….

• Pressures on IT

• Deliver application infrastructure that meets all of the above

• Accelerate time to deployment and production

• Manage and control the infrastructure efficiently

Scaling Out WebLogic Server with the

Application Grid – Goals and Benefits• Extreme Application Scalability

Requirements

• Scale-out middleware to

hundreds of servers acting in

concert

• Adaptive application

infrastructure for assured QOS

• Automated application

management large pools of

resources to reduce

operational cost

• Predictable, reliable application

performance

• Design for maximum reliable

throughput with reduced latency

“Light” OOB Integration

• State Replication

• Clustered Caching

• Scale out data grid tier

“Deep” OOB Integration

• Massive scale out clusters

• Scale out in memory JMS

• JPA on the Grid

27

Application Server Strategy SummaryOracle and WebLogic are #1

• Combined, Oracle provides the #1 Java EE application server, designed

for the most mission-critical of applications

• Increased Investment in lightweight, productive, standards-based

development and deployment

• Renewed Focus on Levels of Quality of Service – performance,

scalability, reliability, availability

• Execution on Best of Breed Manageability – deployment, monitoring,

diagnostics, maintenance

• Delivery of Next-Generation Scale Out – scale linearly, efficiently,

automatically
