Get XML from external system - Fetch data from external system to Saleforce

Hi all,

        I have a custom object?(card)  in salesforce with field (service order) . I would like to get information from oracle db that match this service order.

What approach would be better?
What about service calls?
I am baby on this case of integration?
Can anybody help me?
If i do REST api,
i have some questions.
I could find a blog :-
https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2013/08/integrating-force-com-using-xml-in-apex.html
Can i do something like this?
1. When the call is made to the XML server, is the web browser on the user's PC making the call or is the SalesForce.com server making the call?  
2. Is it makes a difference in how we will need to navigate around the firewall issue?


 Thanks in advance.
