News Flashes
Informatica, a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, announced it has created a new blueprint for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) generative AI (GenAI) to support the deployment and scaling of enterprise-grade GenAI applications.
Oracle is introducing the first zettascale cloud computing clusters accelerated by the NVIDIA Blackwell platform. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is now taking orders for the largest AI supercomputer in the cloud—available with up to 131,072 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. According to Oracle, the maximum scale of OCI Supercluster offers more than three times as many GPUs as the Frontier supercomputer and more than six times that of other hyperscalers.
Oracle is offering new AI capabilities within the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite that will help customers successfully execute complex tasks, automate workflows, and drive efficiency. Extending the comprehensive generative AI capabilities already embedded across the suite, the latest AI innovations include more than 50 new AI agents and a range of AI capabilities that assist with authoring, advice, and recommended actions.
Think About It
The lines between entities within an Entity-Relationship Diagram [ERD] represent an interdependency between the involved entities. In a normalized designed, this interdependency is both semantic and functional, as in, "a HOUSE has one-or-more DOORs," "an ORDER has one-or-more ORDER LINEs," or "a STUDENT enrolls in zero-to-many CLASSes." These object pairings would have a line drawn between them in an ERD representation. There also would be markings from whatever notation one is employing, designating the "one" side of the relationship and the "many" side of the relationship.
