Oracle8i(TM) Wins NewMedia Magazine's 1999 Hyper Award PR Newswire - February 04, 1999 08:16 Industry's First Internet Database Honored for Innovation, Technical Excellence REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) today announced that Oracle8i(TM), the world's first and only Internet database, has been selected over other databases to receive NewMedia Magazine's Hyper Award in the Database category. Oracle8i is featured in the special awards section of the February issue of NewMedia magazine and on the company's Web site, newmedia.com. "Hyper Award winners represent the highest achievements in innovation and technical excellence among the vast array of new products and technologies for digital content creation," says NewMedia chairman and CEO Richard Landry. "These are the tools that make the content creator's life easier today, and will take digital media into the 21st Century." Only one Hyper Award is given in each of over sixty categories. A panel of celebrity judges, including contributing editors and other experts, selects winners. Oracle8i is capable of managing any kind of data and supports access, through a standard Internet browser, for tens of thousands of users on a single machine. This allows businesses to consolidate data onto a smaller number of large servers, which can be professionally managed. This model, the Internet model, dramatically reduces labor costs. Oracle estimates that Oracle8i could help deliver a 10-to-1 cost savings over traditional client/server computing. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of Oracle's Internet platform which also includes Oracle(R) Application Server 4.0 and Oracle's Internet development tools. This powerful combination of technologies will deliver the most scalable, reliable and cost effective solution for any business no matter how large or small. "Oracle8i won because it is simply the best-equipped Web database on the market," said Becky Waring, Editor of NewMedia Magazine. "It can serve up everything from e-commerce sites to streaming video, and works with all major operating systems." "We are honored to receive the NewMedia Hyper Award for Oracle8i," said Jeremy Burton, vice president of server marketing at Oracle. "This NewMedia Hyper Award underscores Oracle's leadership and innovation in the database market and acknowledges Oracle as the only company to deliver a fully Internet enabled database."
