17. Application Server Upgrade –
Customer Advice
• Taxonomy of Customers/Partners
• Investment Primarily Focussed on Oracle Application Server
• Investment Split Between WebLogic Server and Oracle
Application Server
• General Advice
• Oracle Application Server - Continue deployments and
upgrade schedule within Oracle Application Server family until
FMW 11 R1
• Some tactical approaches depending on starting point –
specifically SOA Suite and WebCenter
17

18. Oracle Application Server Upgrade to
Fusion Middleware 11 R1
• Oracle Fusion Middleware Suites generally will have a formal
migration procedure from OracleAS 10g R2 and OracleAS 10g R3
to Fusion Middleware 11 R1 (already existed for pre-FMW 11)
• Oracle Portal
• Oracle Discoverer
• SOA Suite
• Oracle Forms and Reports
• WebCenter/ADF
• Identity Management
• Applications built using J2EE and deployed on OC4J will need to
be redeployed to FMW 11 R1
• Migration guides and best practices will be made available
• Evaluation of tooling to facilitate migration is under way
• Primary area of planning is operations and administration change

20. Customer Problems
• Industry trends driving new infrastructure demands
• SOA, WOA, SaaS, Cloud, RIA, Consolidation, Mobile
• New levels of performance, scale, availability
• Highly unpredictable performance requirements
• Developers require more flexibility and choice
• Java Enterprise Edition, Spring, SCA, CEP, Scripting….
• Pressures on IT
• Deliver application infrastructure that meets all of the above
• Accelerate time to deployment and production
• Manage and control the infrastructure efficiently

27. Application Server Strategy Summary
Oracle and WebLogic are #1
• Combined, Oracle provides the #1 Java EE application server, designed
for the most mission-critical of applications
• Increased Investment in lightweight, productive, standards-based
development and deployment
• Renewed Focus on Levels of Quality of Service – performance,
scalability, reliability, availability
• Execution on Best of Breed Manageability – deployment, monitoring,
diagnostics, maintenance
• Delivery of Next-Generation Scale Out – scale linearly, efficiently,
automatically
