Performance

 Oracle Advanced Compression complements Enterprise Edition basic table

compression feature with comprehensive data compression and Information Lifecycle
Management capabilities, including those specifically tailored to Oracle's engineered
systems, like Oracle Exadata.
 Oracle Database In-Memory, an in-memory, column-oriented data store, has been
seamlessly integrated[19] into the Oracle Database. This technology aims to improve
the performance of analytic workloads without impacting the performance of
transactions that continue to use Oracle's traditional row format in memory. The
product's performance comes through the in-memory, columnar compressed format
and through the use of SIMD vector processing (Single Instruction processing
Multiple Data values).
o In-Memory Aggregation improves performance of typical analytic queries
using efficient in-memory arrays for joins and aggregation.[22][need quotation to verify]
 Oracle Real Application Testing enable testing of system changes in a simulation of
production-level workload and use.
 Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache allows caching subsets of a
database in the application tier for improved response time. It is built using Oracle
TimesTen In-Memory Database.

Security

 Oracle Advanced Security provides Transparent Data Encryption and Data Redaction
security features, the former allowing encryption of data stored in a database (all or a
subset of it), exported using Data Pump, or backed up using Oracle Recovery
Manager, and the latter allowing redaction of sensitive database data (e.g., credit card
or social security numbers) returned to database applications.
 Oracle Database Vault enforces segregation of duties, principle of least privilege and
other data access controls, allowing protection of application data from access by
privileged database users.
 Oracle Label Security is a sophisticated and flexible framework for a fine-grained
label based access control (LBAC) implementation.

Management

 Oracle Multitenant is the capability that allows database consolidation and provides
additional abstraction layer. In a Multitenant configuration, one Oracle database
instance known as "container database" (CDB) acts as a federated database system for
a collection of up to 252 distinct portable collections of database objects, referred to
as "pluggable databases" (PDB), each appearing to an outside client as a regular non-
CDB Oracle database.
 Management Packs: integrated set of Oracle Enterprise Manager tools for maintaining
various aspects of Oracle Database including:
o Diagnostics Pack
o Tuning Pack
o Database Lifecycle Management Pack
o Data Masking and Subsetting Pack
o Cloud Management Pack for Oracle Database
