Oracle's servers are engineered to deliver record-breaking performance, simplified management, high availability and cost-saving efficiencies. These industry-leading systems include built-in virtualization, cloud and systems management and are optimized to run Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux, Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. In addition, these servers support industry leading software for Oracle and non-Oracle applications and solutions.

Once the requirements analysis is complete, the next step is to clearly define and document product requirements and submit them for approval by the customer or the market analysts. A Software Requirement Specification document captures of all the product requirements to be designed and developed during the project life cycle.

Architecture begins with a software design document which can be at the level of a system or component and generally describes relevant goals or requirements, static structure (e.g., components, interfaces, dependencies, etc.), dynamic behavior (how components interact), data models, external interfaces and deployment considerations (e.g., runtime requirements, third party components, etc.). All of these descriptions are at an abstract level. The purpose is to give the reader a broad general understanding of the system or component.

The development team builds and designs software components based on the formal SRS and DDS (above) documents. The development process involves analyzing requirements, modeling and prototyping, coding, compiling and testing. Development occurs in stages called sprints which serve to focus collaboration, planning and reduce risk and uncertainty.
