Multitenant is an exciting option that has created the concept of container databases and pluggable database - PDB.  The container database is able to have multiple PDB's within in.  This lets you have separate security and management of the PDB's within a single container database.

This would be great for hosting and for cloud provisioning.  This would suit JD Edwards use, but not necessary.  If you were provisioning JD Edwards in the cloud, then this would be a great option.

This is licensed at 17.5K per core, as the above table states.
