"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
