With Oracle Database 10g, the first relational database designed for Grid computing, your information is always available and secure. Oracle Database 10g lowers the cost of ownership through automated management while providing the highest possible quality of service. And with Release 2, Oracle builds on the foundation laid in Release 1 to further improve efficiencies and reduce the cost of information management. Oracle is the best choice for large enterprises, small and midsize businesses, and departments alike.

Availability and Scalability with Real Application Clusters
Oracle Database 10g delivers the response times your users demand and reduces the cost of downtime. Only Oracle offers non-stop availability, scalability, and low-cost clustering with Oracle Real Application Clusters, the foundation for Grid computing.

Industry-Leading Security
Oracle Database 10g has unique security features that address privacy, regulatory compliance, and data consolidation requirements, including row-level security, fine grained auditing, and transparent data encryption.

Lower Costs with the Self-Managing Database
Oracle automates time-consuming, error-prone administrative tasks, so DBAs can focus on strategic business objectives. Studies from the Edison Group prove Oracle Database 10g offers superior manageability and significant cost savings over both IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server.
