whitepaper Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Streams Performance2007-11-01 Oracle
  Database replication is a critical technology employed by a wide spectrum of users in industry, government, and academia to keep internal and customer facing applications highly available and reliable. Oracle Streams provides such users with a high performance replication solution. It also provides the flexibility and functionality required by arbitrary information-sharing configurations. Oracle Database 11g contains various Streams enhancements to improve the performance of common customer configurations out of the box. This paper describes some of these enhancements and demonstrates replication performance using a simple unidirectional replication benchmark evaluated on commodity hardware. The results show that Oracle Streams can replicate over 20,000 row changes per second while maintaining sub-second latency.

whitepaper Database Replay2007-11-01 Oracle
  System changes such as hardware/software upgrades, patch application, etc. are essential for businesses to maintain a competitive edge for compliance/security purposes. Businesses spend significant time and effort evaluating and testing system changes in test environments before introducing them in production systems. However, despite such testing, using various scripts and simulation tools, many issues often go undetected until production deployment and negatively impact system performance and availability. The main reason for low success rate of testing is the inability of existing tools to test using real production workloads. Database Replay, one of the solutions within the Oracle Real Application Testing option enables realistic testing of system changes by recreating the production workload on the test system while maintaining the unique characteristics of the workload.

whitepaper Integrating Clinical Data With the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub2007-11-01 Oracle
  In the life sciences industry, the process of clinical development requires that patient data collected from multiple sources be merged and combined for the purpose of understanding the safety and efficacy of a compound. Quick and accurate access to this combined data can inform management decisions to alter, accelerate, or cancel the development of a particular compound and thus increase profits, deliver data for formal structured analysis to accelerate regulatory submissions and minimize the risk of introducing an unsafe compound to the market. The Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub empowers and automates a life science company's ability to combine clinical and related data at lower overall cost, with fewer staff, and with less risk than with other commercial or custom solutions.
