CloudFucius’ Road Trip: Oracle Open World

You might not know (not that you really care) that I moved recently. I used to live in San Jose and visiting Moscone for the variety of technology shows held there was an easy drive up the 280 and a nightmare on the 101. Now that I live in Sothern California, it’s a ‘6 of 1, half dozen of the other’ scenario when it comes to ‘car vs. air’ travel time and cost – at least from where I am. Couple weeks ago I did the trip for VMworld and I have to say, it wasn’t too bad and I had a vehicle! So I’ll be doing it again this weekend to attend Oracle OpenWorld 2010 in the City by the bayeeeeaaay.

Oracle OpenWorld is the largest conference for Oracle technologists, business users, and partners and F5 Networks will, of course, be there. The exhibits run Monday thru Wednesday and I encourage you to visit Booth #1427 to learn more about all the amazing solutions and deep integration F5 has with Oracle. We’ll be highlighting our Oracle Access Manager integration with BIG-IP, Oracle Data Guard sync over the WAN with F5 BIG-IP, Oracle RMAN replication with F5's BIG-IP WOM, PeopleSoft with F5's BIG-IP Web Acceleration & WAN Optimization, and a few others.

We will also be shooting more video including some whiteboard episodes along with the various interviews I like to conduct with partners, customers and F5 employees. Those should be posted throughout the week so either check back here or visit our YouTube Channel for news hot off the floor.

There are also a few sessions that have a F5 flavor to it:

Maximum Availability Architecture Best Practices: Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 - This session presents Oracle E-Business Suite maximum availability architecture configuration considerations and best practices for deploying high-availability and disaster recovery solutions. 21Tues – 3:30p

Hope to see you there, if not you’ll see me here.
