While I am still trying to figure out if I like the name of the new Oracle BI Box (I suppose Exalytics is better than OBB), more details have emerged. Not only do we have some blogs to read but even a WHITE PAPER. You may have already seen extracts…

Exalytics Launched

Oracle 11g
The long awaited Oracle 11g Express is out. I will try it in a couple of VM’s before installing on our production machine here at Addidici. The question will be what integration is there for OBIEE 11g (Repository and Warehouse?) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html
