Oracle Databases

No matter the industry, the size of your business, or where you are located, or what kind of records you keep, you will probably use databases such as MS Access, MS SQL Server or perhaps an Oracle database in some form or another.

Databases can be used for an almost never-ending list of applications, from simple appointment-keeping and calendar tracking to full-scale physical data centres and terabytes of data storage.

Oracle offer a range of database product to suit all needs both on premise, via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other cloud providers.

These are a few of the main database products:

Enterprise Edition – ideal for large application needing high availability. On prem or Cloud options
Standard Edition – more suited to medium to smaller organisations. On prem or Cloud options
Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) – free to use but is restricted by size and resources.
Personal Edition – for single user development.
Autonomous database – cloud deployed choose from OLTP or Warehousing options. Free options available but is restricted by size and resources. Paid options available.

For decades, Savant have been working with organisations and businesses of all kinds with Oracle Database services to support them in making Production databases geographically resilient, and to provide test and training Database to ensure an environment that is functional and effective for their business.
