In 2010, for the first time, Oracle hosted three Oracle conferences in three continents:
Oracle Openworld 2010 San Franscio 2010 in Sept 19-23, Oracle Openworld 2010 Latina Americas 2010 in Sao Paulo in Dec 7-9th, Oracle OpenWorld Beijing 2010, Dec 13-16th.

After attending and speaking at Oracle Openworld in San Franscio, I was invited by Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and the  Oracle ACE program to give two technical presentations at Oracle OpenWorld Beijing 2010 conference:

  1) Case study: Implementing the Oracle Grid Computing for Multiple ERP Applications

  2) Oracle11g R2 Clusterware and RAC: Architecture , Configuration, Troubleshooting and Case study

My presentations were a part of Oracle Technology Network Loung , which combined the presentations of other ten top Oracle technologists (Oracle ACEs and Oracle ACE Directors)in the China Oracle community.  The entire OTN lounge presentation schedule is listed here.   This was my first time to meet and have joint efforts with these great Oracle talents in China. I really enjoyed working and networking with  them.

On Novemeber 29-December 1st 2010, I was invited to attend UKOUG Technology and E-Business Suite Conference    and give a technical presentation at the conference.   UKOUG (UK Oracle User Group) is one of the  largest Oracle  user groups in Europe.  UKOUG has been offerring its members conferences for over 20 years. This conference event was dedicated for the Oracle Technology & E-Business communities.  The conference was held in International Convention Centre (ICC), Birmingham, UK.

My technical presentation title  was ” Oracle E-Business Suite: migration to Oracle VM Template Based Deployment”.  As we know,  Oracle VM provides the server virtualization that not only enables high availability and scalability, also simplifies and standardizes the deployment for Oracle E-Business Suite.  To leverage Oracle VM, the existing Oracle E-Business systems on physical servers need to be migrated the VMs and a new development needs to start on the VMs.  The technical presenation examined some best practices for such an migration and  also explored the method  to create and use the VM templates of customers’  own project specific Oracle E-Business systems for on-going project. On the end  of the presentation, I also covered how to leverage the benefits of Oracle VM such as high availability and scalability and server partitioning for Oracle E-Business suite R12.1 infrastructure.

My recent Oracle RAC Automated provisioning article”Automated Deployment of Oracle RAC using Enterprise Manager Provisioning Pack ” was published in IOUG SELECT Journal 2010 4th Quarter issue.  This article explored one of features provided by Oracle Enterprise Manager for the software lifecycle management: Autmated provisioning of software systems.  This feature  simplifies the Oracle RAC database deployment process by automating most  tasks of provisioing process. It  significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy and reduce the cost and technical challenges of massive Oracle RAC database deployments.  The pdf of the article can be found here:  Automated Deployment of Oracle RAC using Enterprise Manager Provisioning Pack
