Oracle for Dummy-Session 1

Decoding the g in Oracle 11g

Oracle has always had some creative marketing techniques. In the late 1990s, the Internet was booming, and everyone wanted Internet technology. Oracle released an upgraded version of Oracle 8 and labeled it 8i. i represents the Internet. This addition was a popular move because businesses realized the advantages of providing access via the Internet. Use of the Internet also reduced the labor and cost requirements for client server applications in which the client was installed onto the end user’s PC.

As popular as the Internet boom was, grid computing is now the evolution of enterprise architecture management. (Hence the g, which stands for grid.)
