Oracle today announced that Melbourne Health, Mobiltel, the Northern California Power Agency, and RTL, among others, are in production with Oracle(r) Database 11g to power core transaction processing, decision support and content management applications.
A major public health provider in Victoria, Australia, Melbourne Health provides comprehensive acute, sub-acute and community-based health care programs. Melbourne Health piloted DICOM image storage, metadata (image information) extraction and DICOM image retrieval, ability to anonymize the image, generation of thumbnails, and conformance validation of Oracle Database 11g on Windows and Linux platforms. The health provider runs Oracle Database 11g on Windows in production.
Mobiltel is the largest mobile operator in Bulgaria, serving over five million customers. To deliver a higher quality of service and to respond more effectively to ever changing business needs, Mobiltel deployed Oracle Database 11g on Linux in August 2007.
Located in Roseville, Calif., the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) is a joint powers agency that provides support for the electric utility operations of 17 member communities and districts in northern and central Calif. The NCPA deployed Oracle Database 11g on Windows in the fall of 2007 to take advantage of Oracle XML DB, a feature that provides high-performance XML storage and retrieval. Oracle XML DB helps the agency to manage very large and complex power settlements data consumed by every electric utility in the state.
