At Rackspace Technology, we’re constantly upgrading and updating our systems to meet the security and convenience of our customers.

The vast majority of all traffic on the Internet is encrypted. It took almost 20 years to get to about 40 percent encrypted, and then we jumped another 40 percent plus in just the last four years (source: Google Transparency Report).

With the proliferation of mobile and web applications, latency has certainly become a huge deal on the Internet of today. The Internet is a very competitive environment, and users are becoming more and more content hungry and certainly impatient with latency.

Rackspace has recently released the second generation of the Intel Xeon scalable architecture processor family, code-named Cascade Lake.

Oracle® GoldenGate® supports two architectures: the classic architecture and the Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (OGG MA).

Classic architecture has standard extract, replicat, pump, and receiver functions and is managed by the GoldenGate Software Command Interpreter (GGSCI).

OGG MA is a restful application program interface (API) microservices-based architecture that enables you to install, configure, monitor, and manage Oracle GoldenGate services through a web-based user interface. OGG MA was introduced in version GoldenGate 12.3 and was designed from the perspective of cloud operations.

The thirteen tips to take tech tests

Yes I can speak Cloud…I learned it from a book.

A proxy server is a computer system that sits between the client that requests a web document and the target server (another computer system) that serves the document.

Oracle® Data Pump (expdp, impdp) is a utility for exporting and importing database objects in and across databases. Part 1 of this two-part blog post series discussed the introduction of multitenant architecture in Oracle Database 12c and how to use Data Pump to export and import data. Part 2 covers how to take an export of only pluggable databases (PDBs) and the restrictions that Data Pump places on PDBs.
