AWS Lead 'Is
Over'
Oracle's all-in move to the cloud is pitting it against new
competitors, Oracle Executive Chairman and Chief Technical Officer
Larry Ellison said this week at Oracle
OpenWorld. In infrastructure, "first mover" Amazon
Web Services is clearly Oracle's biggest cloud rival, Ellison said,
but he emphasized that Oracle's next generation of infrastructure
services will deliver twice the compute power, twice the memory,
four times the storage, and 10 times the input/output speeds.
"Amazon's lead is over," he said. "Amazon is going to have serious
competition going forward."
Ellison's
keynote mapped out Oracle's new product innovations
across all three cloud layers — software, platform and
infrastructure. Among the major new products is Oracle Database
12c Release 2, the latest version of Oracle's flagship
database management system. As part of the company's cloud-first
strategy, Oracle Database 12c R2 is being released in the
Oracle Cloud. Ellison also announced Exadata Express Cloud Service,
giving customers access to Oracle's enterprise database starting at
just $175 a month. |

Oracle's
Hurd: 80 Percent of Company-Owned Data Centers Will Close
The number of company-owned data centers will decrease 80 percent
worldwide by 2025 as companies commit all-in to the cloud, allowing
business leaders to free up a much larger percentage of their IT
budgets for innovation, Oracle CEO Mark Hurd predicts. Read more
about his keynote

Five Keys to Choosing a Cloud Infrastructure Provider
There are important distinctions among the main business
infrastructure as a service (IaaS) providers that can affect the
success or failure of a company's strategic cloud moves. That's why
researching a potential provider is so important, says Ray Wang,
founder and principal analyst of Constellation Research. The first
question you should ask? "Have you made the capital investments to
be in this market for the long run?" Discover the other four critical
questions. |
Pity the IT Organization That Gets This Part Wrong
"Every company will be a big data company or learn how to use big
data services. It's changing that fast," says Oracle's Chuck
Hollis, senior vice president of cloud infrastructure, who says
it's critical for IT infrastructure to be engineered to maximize
and exploit data's value. Business leaders need flexibility,
agility, and a strategy that does more than simply string software
as a service (SaaS) solutions together. "Most IT leaders will
realize this is a killer use case for the cloud," he says in
an
interview with Oracle big data strategist Paul
Sonderegger. |
