CALIFORNIA -- Oracle announced recently that its portfolio of Oracle Health Sciences cloud applications will be powered by the next-generation Oracle Health Sciences Cloud, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery platform for the specific requirements and regulations of the health sciences market.

The enhanced Oracle Health Sciences Cloud supports the increasingly networked environment for research, clinical development, and healthcare delivery wherein data must be effectively and securely managed across multiple organizations, including life sciences companies, contract research organizations (CROs), academic medical centers, and regulators and outsourcing vendors.

“Delivering cloud applications that support the stringent regulatory environment and networked nature of clinical trials requires not only technical expertise, but significant industry expertise, as well,” said Neil de Crescenzo, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Health Sciences. “Oracle Health Sciences Cloud and our proven portfolio of Oracle Health Sciences Cloud Applications offer customers a formidable combination of scalability, data security, value, and confidence.”

The Oracle Health Sciences Cloud currently hosts over 3,800 application instances supporting hundreds of thousands of users and millions of transactions per day in more than 117 countries. The new Oracle Health Sciences Cloud will take advantage of Oracle’s hardware and software, including Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Exadata Database Machine, and Oracle’s Sun ZFS Storage Appliance.
