 What is Oracle Fusion 11g?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Oracle has been talking about it for years and it is now finally released:\u00a0 Oracle Fusion 11g.\u00a0 The name fusion comes from Oracle&#8217;s goal to meld together the best parts from Oracle&#8217;s many software acquisitions (58 so far).<\/p>\n<p>What is the Oracle Fusion 11g release all about?<br \/>\nReally it is just an update to five of its middleware products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SOA Suite<\/li>\n<li>WebLogic Suite<\/li>\n<li>WebCenter Suite<\/li>\n<li>Identity Management<\/li>\n<li>Oracle Development Tools for Fusion Middleware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Middleware release centers on the WebLogic Suite as a platform and the SOA Suite provides the base for achieving interoperability across many applications and services.\u00a0 Oracle is calling Fusion a &#8216;convergence layer&#8217; that can be used to integrate service components.<br \/>\nThe highlights of the release include the following, as reported on <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Silicon.com on Oracle Fusion 11g\" href=\"http:\/\/software.silicon.com\/applications\/0,39024653,39447847,00.htm\">silicon.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oracle WebCenter for building social networking services<\/li>\n<li>Oracle Composer for customizing web sites via a browser<\/li>\n<li>Oracle Real Application Clusters and Enterprise Grid Messaging for improved reliability<\/li>\n<li>ActiveCache for improved scalability<\/li>\n<li>Oracle Identity Management offers a universal federation framework<\/li>\n<li>Updates to standard Oracle development tools like JDeveloper, Oracle Application Development Framework and Oracle TopLink<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unlike vendors like Microsoft, Oracle has tried to build products based on well-accepted standards without trying to hijack the standards in the process of doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Oracle is trying to provide a single stack, from Database and Middleware, all the way up to the application layer.\u00a0 Oracle presents a compelling set of software, but many analysts warn that buying into a single stack of technology and relying totally on a single vendor may ultimately lead to problems.<\/p>\n<div
