The Self-ManagingDatabase: Deploying Oracle Database 11g in Embedded Environments
Introduction
IT departments of all sizes are increasingly relying on self-managing systems. The key benefit, of course, is cost savings—but self-managing systems also address organizations’ lack of onsite technical expertise and the nonfeasability of managing systems individually. Solution providers often seek to provide systems withembedded components that require little to no administration. Embedded installations enable ISVs and OEMs to build critical technology directly into their products so they can develop solutions targeted specifically to the needs of their market. In an embedded solution, database software is fully integrated into the business application or device so the end user has little or no knowledge that thedatabase software exists. In essence, the database is completely invisible to the application user. This gives ISVs and OEMs greater control of the complete application—from installation to management and support. With Oracle Database 11g, Oracle has made large strides toward creating a truly embeddable database. This white paper reviews the technical challenges associated with embedding a databaseand how Oracle Database 11g addresses them.

Why Embed?
Embedded databases have many benefits—not only for ISVs and OEMs developing a business application, but also for their end users or customers.
ISV/OEM Benefits
ISVs and OEMs that embed a database into their application can
•
Reduce thetotal cost of ownership of the solution, thereby offering cost advantages to their customers. Provide a single integrated solution that requires minimal management. Test the database configuration that best suits their application and use the same configuration to configure customers’ databases. Manage and upgrade customers’ databases more easily and at lower cost. Because the embedded database isinstalled, configured, and managed by the ISV/OEM application, its installation and configuration is easy, fast, and less error-prone, thus significantly reducing support costs.

Customer Benefits
Most of the benefits mentioned above for ISVs and OEMs are directly transferable to customers. With an embedded solution, customers can
