The system infrastructure and architecture is the core of your database and the complete Oracle technology professional needs to know about the architecture infrastructure surrounding the database to solve business needs and be able to deliver an data architecture that addresses the changing needs of the business. This track will cover high-level architecture and approaches to enterprise backup. Learn about how Oracle fits in and what RMAN, RAC and Data Guard can meet your company's high-availability needs, especially since enterprise security and data protection is a big concern these days. And, if your company is involved with B2B or B2C, then you also need to deal with EDI.

Development

Working in application development means you need to know an alphabet soup of languages and need to be able to perform a balancing act between Web-based, wireless and client/server applications. What will give you the edge to create successful applications? Do you use Oracle's suite of tools or do you need to look for something that you can integrate? And, most importantly, how will your applications be used - with wireless technology, through a portal? Will your forms and reports be used on an Intranet or on the Internet? This track will answer all your questions while covering the topics that surround the development and deployment of your applications.
