Retail Data Store (RDS) Availability
Oracle Retail Data Store enables retailers to unlock the value of their data through a comprehensive set of tools, enabling virtually unlimited extensibility while abstracting those workloads from those of the original Oracle Retail cloud services. This toolset allows the retailer to create a wide variety of functionality that they can tailor specifically to their own business processes. Examples include custom web services to expose specific data elements, custom integration (inbound and outbound), reporting and analytics, and custom user interfaces for capture retailer-specific data.
A separate subscription different from Xstore Office Cloud Service is required for Oracle Retail Data Store, which is composed of two parts:
-
Oracle Retail Data Compute Cloud Service – this portion of the subscription covers compute resources available to the cloud service and allows a retailer to add compute to their solution as necessary for their extensions.
-
Oracle Retail Data Storage Cloud Service – this portion of the subscription covers data storage resources available to the cloud service and allows a retailer to add storage to their solution as necessary for these extensions.
For more information about RDS, see its documentation set on the Oracle Help Center.
