www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 5 Oracle Analytics Cloud Overview

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 6 Oracle Analytics Cloud Oracle’s complete suite of Platform Services (PaaS) for unified analytics in the cloud • Delivered entirely in the cloud: ‣ No infrastructure footprint ‣ Immediate scale up or down ‣ Simplified licensing • Several options to suit your needs: ‣ Oracle or customer managed ‣ 3 funcational editions

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 7 Functionalities OAC supports every type of analytics workload • Classic enterprise BI: ‣ Analysis & dashboarding ‣ Published reporting ‣ Enterprise Performance Management • Modern departmental/personal discovery: ‣ Extended data mashup & modelling ‣ Data preparation, exploration & visualization ‣ Data science & machine learning

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 8 • Similar User Experience to OBIEE 12c – Centrally maintained & governed – Semantic model remains key • Interactive Dashboards – Ideal for KPI measurement & monitoring – Guided navigation paths • BI Publisher – Highly formatted, burst outputs • Action Framework – Navigation actions – Scheduled agents Classic Enterprise Analytics

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 9 • Data Preparation – Acquire data from multiple connections – Apply enrichments data prior to analysis – Define repeatable preparation flows • Data Visualization – Create visual insights rapidly – Construct narrated storyboards – Share findings • Machine Learning – Build & train ML models – Apply model to new data sets Modern Data Discovery and Data Science

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 10 • Mobile Web & BI Mobile App – All DV projects will auto-render on mobile devices – The heritage mobile app supports all OAC content • Synopsis Mobile App – Automatic Excel/CSV ingestion & analysis – Extending to all DV supported sources • Day by Day – Included within Enterprise Edition – Search driven analytics – Voice recognition allows you to verablise questions – Embedded learning enables a tailored experience Mobile Capabilities

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 11 Editions, Licenses and Shapes

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 12 Service Options (pre 2019) Analytics Cloud Analytics Cloud Autonomous Analytics Cloud Autonomous Analytics Cloud Services managed by Oracle: Backup & Recovery Service Monitoring Patching & Upgrades Test & Production instances Based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Services managed by You: Based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Database apart and stand-alone Storage Container apart and stand-alone Patching done by you Full control down to the OS of the VM

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 13 Service Options 2019++ Analytics Cloud Analytics Cloud Autonomous Analytics Cloud Autonomous Analytics Cloud Services managed by Oracle: Services managed by You: Analytics Cloud Classic (OACC) Analytics Cloud (OAC)

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 14 OAC Cloud dashboard Analytics Cloud Classic (OACC) Analytics Cloud (OAC)

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 15 Analytics Cloud (Ex Autonomous) • All managed by Oracle, so… – No “OBIEE-style” customizations – Possible to change few parameters (more expected to be added) – No access to logs except runtime logs – At the moment no Usage Tracking – Feels like proper «serverless» – Focus on consume and use rather than administer and manage.

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 16 Three Edition Options Enterprise Edition Data Lake Edition Standard Edition Data Discovery Data Preparation What-If Planning Big Data Storage Data Transformation via Apache Spark Data Lake Connectivity Enterprise Analysis & Dashboarding Published Reporting Day by Day

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 17 Two Purchasing Options Monthly Flex Monthly Flex Pay As You Go Pay As You Go Based on Universal Credits model No minimum tenure Payments made in arrears Based on consumption Suitable for: Rapid Prototyping Testing & Sampling Elastic Scalable Based on Universal Credits model 12 month minimum tenure Payments made in advance Unused credits are forfeited Suitable for: Predictable, production workloads Long running platforms

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 18 Several Shape Options • OAC instances are provisioned in Oracle Compute Units (OCPU’s) shapes to satisfy different requirements • The shape can be altered after service creation – Scale up or down based on immediate need

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 19 Shape implications Excel mafia

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 20 Bring Your Own License (BYOL) • For existing, on-premises Oracle clients • Mapping rules apply – Roughly 1 Processor license = 2 OCPUs • Maintained through your annual support contract • Simplifies decision to move to the cloud: – Reduces an entry barrier to the cloud – Reduces the operating cost of using the cloud • Converted licenses are significantly cheaper!

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 21 Oracle Universal Credit Pricing * As presented on https://cloud.oracle.com/en_US/ucpricing as at 08/10/2018

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 22 Architectural options

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 23 Pure Oracle Cloud • Simplest integration architecture: – Data held in Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS) – ETL via Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud (DIPC) • Data acquisition from Cloud Applications: – BI Cloud Connector – Goldengate – OAC’s new Data Replication features • Data acquisition from on-premises applications: – Data Sync – APEX Data Loader – SQL Developer tools – Data Pump

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 24 Hybrid on-premises and cloud • Database remains on-premises • Data access via Remote Data Connector – Runs on dedicated application server (WLS/Tomcat) – Secure connectivity via public/private SSL key – Supports Oracle, DB2, Teradata, SQL Server • Beware performance challenges – Potential latency due to network bandwidth – Check network capacity and test carefully

www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur freenode | obihackers slide 25 Multi-Cloud • Commonly adopted cloud strategy – Spread investment across different clouds/vendors – Mix private and public cloud workloads – Use anything you have • Data Sets have a broad support for connectivity – Relational, Big Data, semi-structured & proprietary • Data Model supports fewer options (via RDC) – Oracle, DB2, Teradata, SQL Server • Data flows allow for «in-OAC ETL»
