Oracle Database supports the most demanding mission‑critical customer requirements, operating at global scale to provide a secure, distributed, multi‑tenant data platform for structured as well as unstructured data.

The architectural patterns you develop will be used by customers to build applications that require high volume, high velocity and high variability data platforms. The patterns will need to support data sovereignty/residency requirements where a data element is required to stay within a specific geographic boundary.
