The next 11g version of Oracle's flagship database applications will offer a total of 482 new features, the company's executive vice president of server technologies, Chuck Rozwat, said at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco.
In addition to increased speed and performance, the application will introduce features spanning areas including content management, high availability, business intelligence and compression technology. The latter could reduce an enterprise's storage need by up to 66 per cent, the company touted.
The software is currently in beta and Oracle didn't provide a projected launch date.
Oracle first introduced the company's 10g database in 2003 and started shipping the application in February 2004. The database focused heavily on grids where the software is divided over several physical servers, offering an increased level of stability.
Oracle estimates that about half its database customers run the current 10g database.
Rozwat's presentation kicked off the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. The event is expected to attract a record crowd of 41,000 delegates.
