 Database Architecture
DBMS architecture helps in design, development,
implementation, and maintenance of a database. A database
stores critical information for a business. Selecting the correct
Database Architecture helps in quick and secure access to this
data.
 Database Architecture
• 1st Tier Architecture
• 2nd Tier Architecture
• 3rd Tier Architecture
 1st Tier Architecture
The simplest of Database Architecture are 1 tier where the Client,
Server, and Database all reside on the same machine. Anytime you
install a DB in your system and access it to practice SQL queries it is 1
tier architecture. But such architecture is rarely used in production.
 2nd Tier Architecture
• Presentation layer runs on a client (PC, Mobile, Tablet, etc)
• Data is stored on a Server.
An application interface which is called ODBC (Open Database
Connectivity) an API which allows the client-side program to call the
DBMS. Today most of the DBMS offers ODBC drivers for their DBMS. 2
tier architecture provides added security to the DBMS as it is not
exposed to the end user directly.
 3rd Tier Architecture
• Presentation layer runs on a client (PC, Mobile, Tablet, etc)
• Application Server (Layer)
• Data is stored on a Server.
To separate the user applications and physical database
Proposed to support DBMS characteristics
Program-data independence
Support of multiple views of the data

Example: Oracle eBusiness Suite

 SOA Architecture
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a style of software design where
services are provided to the other components by application
components, through a communication protocol over a network. Its
principles are independent of vendors and other technologies.
In service oriented architecture, a number of services communicate
with each other, in one of two ways: through passing data or through
two or more services coordinating an activity. This is just one definition
of Service-Oriented Architecture.
Information as a service is appropriate for any organization that has multiple data sources and multiple
consuming applications.
If your organization is small and you have one database and one main application, then information as a
service may not make sense

Oracle Public Cloud
 Oracle ERP On-Premise vs
Oracle ERP Cloud
The biggest difference between these two systems is how they are deployed.
Cloud-based software is hosted on the vendor's servers and accessed through a web
browser.
On-premise software is installed locally, on a company's own computers and servers
When compared to cloud software, on premise is more flexibility, reliability and
security. Hosted cloud software on the other hand removes the pressure of
maintaining and updating systems, allowing you focus your time, effort and money
into fulfilling your core business strategies.
 Advantages of Oracle ERP Cloud Over Oracle ERP
on-premise
• Low Cost (Software / Hardware / Network / Infrastructure)
• Oracle ERP Cloud has no up-front license costs and lower maintenance costs when compared to
Oracle EBS. While looking at total business costs (software, hardware, personnel, and training)
over a three-year period, Nucleus Research identified that, on average, initial costs for on-
premises ERP were 2.4 times higher than Oracle ERP Cloud.

• On Premise Applications will soon become legacy applications

• Heavily customized on-premises ERP solutions are being viewed as legacy applications. SaaS
solutions that support operational ERP capabilities are maturing fast and are now viable for
midsize enterprises and some large enterprises. According to Gartner:
• By 2020, nearly 60% of large enterprises with systems up for replacement will switch from
traditional on-premises licenses to cloud deployments.
• By 2021, 55% of Oracle’s on-premises customers will have moved 80% of their on-premises
capabilities to Oracle Cloud Applications.
 Advantages of Oracle ERP Cloud Over Oracle ERP
on-premise
• Faster Time Value
• On-premise Oracle EBS implementations require significant IT effort and
much of it is spent in installation and configuration of the existing, complex IT
environment. Oracle ERP Cloud enables the organization to implement new
functionality quickly and at a lower cost than Oracle EBS.
• Easy Accessibility
• Oracle ERP Cloud can be accessed via the internet anywhere, anytime and
works on any mobile device – including your laptop, phone, and tablet. This is
particularly useful when employees desire flexibility in their schedules and
work environment.
 Advantages of Oracle ERP Cloud Over Oracle ERP
on-premise
• Automatic Upgrades
• The costs and effort associated with upgrades and new releases are higher in
on-premises ERP solutions as the user has to buy an upgrade package and
install it or pay for specialized services to perform the software upgrade.
Oracle ERP Cloud gets continuous, automatic software updates whereas
upgrading Oracle EBS requires significant time and effort from the IT team.
• Scalability and Integration
• SaaS solutions exist in cloud environments that are easily scalable and have
integration with other SaaS offerings. Oracle ERP Cloud is engineered to
enable a wide range of application integrations and provides this capability in
a reliable architecture. Oracle ERP Cloud supports complex integrations as
well as bulk data movement. This process isn’t so simple in Oracle EBS and
needs extensive support from the IT team to design and build the
integrations.
 Advantages of Oracle ERP Cloud Over Oracle ERP
on-premise
• Improved User Interface (UI)
• Oracle ERP Cloud features a complete redesign which makes the applications
more streamlined and user-friendly. Cutting edge web technologies result in a
simple, intuitive experience that makes it quicker and easier to perform most
back office functions. On-premises Oracle EBS doesn’t include the revamped
UI and feels outdated in comparison.
• Scalability and Integration
• SaaS solutions exist in cloud environments that are easily scalable and have
integration with other SaaS offerings. Oracle ERP Cloud is engineered to
enable a wide range of application integrations and provides this capability in
a reliable architecture. Oracle ERP Cloud supports complex integrations as
well as bulk data movement. This process isn’t so simple in Oracle EBS and
needs extensive support from the IT team to design and build the
integrations.
