“Why are our days numbered and not, say, lettered?” Woody Allen
Early tall-building designers, fearing a fire on the 13th floor, or fearing tenants’ superstitions about the rumor, decided to omit having a 13th floor listed on their elevator numbering. This practice became common, and eventually found its way into American mainstream culture and building design. If hotel floors are lettered, would you mind staying at floor M?
Next month, thousands of Oracle professionals will come to San Francisco where Oracle organize for the 13th time in a row, Oracle OpenWorld.
Having 13 presentation in honor of this jubilee is technically impossible but here are 3 ones that I will deliver next month in San Francisco:

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is the fastest-growing area of public cloud computing. Oracle Cloud IaaS, with built-in security and high availability, offers elastic compute, networking, and storage to help any company quickly reach both value and productivity. This presentation covers the benefits of Oracle IaaS over other cloud providers, and shows how fast and easy it is to set up IaaS services in Oracle Cloud.

Abstract: Dedicated to OEM 13c newest feature: Database Consolidation Workbench. I will give 13 database consolidation strategy tips for DBAs.
Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service provides service instances that contain a full Oracle Database hosted on Oracle Exadata inside Oracle Cloud. This presentation is about best practices on how to migrate and consolidate Oracle databases onto Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service. It covers the three phases—planning, migration, and validation—of Oracle’s database consolidation workbench that helps in end-to-end consolidation of databases and enables consolidation of more databases on the same Oracle Exadata system, both on premises and in the public cloud.
