Data Management made easier with Oracle’s All New Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud

No secret! For making better business decisions, Data is a massive asset.  Businesses are becoming data-driven, accessing & analyzing more data by more users than ever before. They need automated tools to connect & integrate, store & process as well as analyze & visualize that information. They’re looking to empower users with easy & fast ways to uncover valuable insights that help drive business transformation – without overburdening an already strained IT department. But gaining the valuable insights required to make those decisions requires quality data that we can trust. And to accomplish this we need a data strategy.

Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) provides a single platform that allows any user to easily connect & explore any data from anywhere, rapidly query it, use powerful analytical tools that transform it into meaningful insights, then use it to drive smarter business decisions. A modern Data warehouse that runs itself, secures itself, saves up to 80% administration costs, with virtually no human intervention.

When I looked up for the meaning of the word “Autonomous” I got this “having the freedom to govern itself or its own affairs”. Let’s peek in to understand the true capabilities of Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and what it has for us in the ground.

Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse

Oracle’s Autonomous Database Cloud is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing, designed to eliminate manual, error-prone management processes. Data warehouse can be deployed in the Oracle cloud in few seconds, and Oracle customer benchmark studies demonstrate performance of up to 14 times faster than few other similar services. Provisioning, patching, updating, backing up, tuning, and applying security patches are all taken care of while the system is running, giving DBAs more time to focus on obtaining insights, architecting new applications, and solidifying security.
