Oracle Database 11g has three editions depending on the size of your company and needs: Standard Edition One, Standard Edition, and Enterprise Edition. All editions are built using the same common code base, so your database applications can easily scale from small, single processor servers to clusters of multi-processor servers without changing a line of code. Additional options including Partitioning, RAC, and Data Guard for enhanced performance, scalability, availability, security and manageability are available with Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition. Oracle offers many Database solutions including Apps Server and Business Intelligence solutions. Dell has access to these solutions as well as 100’s of other licensed Oracle technology products.
