Common confusion over Oracle Fusion
Most Common confusion over Fusion among most of guys I discuss/meet & also mentioned by Steven Chan in his post is thinking Oracle Fusion Middleware & Oracle Fusion Applications are same. In actual Oracle Fusion Middleware will be used in providing/building Oracle Fusion Applications using Existing Oracle Applications (Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel, Peoplesoft, JD Eward).
Oracle Fusion Middleware is collection of Oracle Middleware products i.e.
–Oracle Application Server (Portal, Wireless, Forms, Reports, discoverer, Webcache, OC4J)
— Oracle Identity management (OID, SSO, Web Access Manager, CA, Identity Federation)
–Oracle SOA Suite (Service Oriented Suite)
–Oracle Collaboration Suite (RTC, Mail Server, Discussion, Content, Calendar)
–Oracle DW & BI (BI Beans, OWB, OLAP, Express Server, OSA, OFA, Datamart )
–Oracle development Tools (Designer, developer, SCM, forms, reports)
— Oracle Data hubs
and
Oracle Fusion Applications will be collection of Oracle Applications i.e.
–Oracle E-Business Suite / CRM
–Oracle Peoplesoft enterprise
–Oracle Siebel CRM
–Oracle JD Edward Enterprise
These fusion applications will use Fusion Middleware mentioned above
