Oracle has launched the Data Integration Cloud service, which is designed to gather all data together for real-time-analytics. The database maker is poised to dominate the cloud amidst its ongoing battle with Google, now on appeal to reverse "fair use" verdict.

The Oracle Data Integration Cloud service enables the seamless communication and flow of data within enterprises. It is capable of fetching information from third parties from the clouds or on-premise. This also includes data from Internet of Things (IoT), business applications and web tools. All the data will be integrated with the Oracle platform from various sources like the Database Cloud, Database Exadata Cloud, and Big Data Cloud.

The overarching principle behind the Oracle Data Integration Cloud service is to improve productivity, particularly when making data-driven decisions. It is not a simple task though for the Oracle Cloud portfolio is immense with support for various public, private and hybrid cloud developments including all the data and workloads associated with it. Oracle covers an extensive array of enterprises and business data sets with access to useful information that can be analyzed. This analysis will help improve an enterprise's operations or even discover new business opportunities.

Basically, the Oracle Data Integration Cloud will act as one monster data-gatherer and puts all information in just one place and ready to be used with an analytics system. Without this tool, organizations have to do a complex process of sanitation and formatting in order to guarantee that every wealth of information can be crunched and analyzed. This will require lots of time and resources to complete the intensive process that needs hard coding and copying from one source to another.

Oracle's Data Integration Cloud service provides companies a productivity tool minus the time and the additional cost. Using the new service will allow organizations to reduce costs while receiving a much-improved movement and transformation of data across an enterprise. Moreover, it also allows the added benefit of integrating Oracle systems with the systems of other companies, Silicon has learned.

In another news, Oracle's long-standing battle with Google is not yet over as it seeks to overthrow last summer's ruling on "fair use" that favors Google. The company's legal team is also pushing for the case to go back to another jury trial. Oracle hopes that the Appeals Court will allow them to show all documents supporting their allegations that Google's use of the API does not constitute "fair use," according to Fortune.

Oracle has accused Google of copying certain codes from Java to create its Android software platform. As Google quickly amassed huge revenues, Java was left in ruins. However, the jury's verdict revealed that Google only borrowed a "declaring code" and not an "implementing one. For this reason, the court ruled that Google's use of the said code falls under the "fair use" category.
