Ellison Predicts Big
Changes Coming to Cloud Market
Although software as a service (SaaS) was the driving force behind
Oracle's Q4 revenue and earnings growth, Oracle Executive Chairman
and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison said during an earnings
call with analysts that he expects that Oracle's two other cloud
pillars—platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a
service (IaaS)—will become even more powerful growth engines for
Oracle than SaaS. Oracle's SaaS revenue grew 67 percent in Q4, to
$964 million, reaching $3.2 billion for fiscal year 2017 ended May
3, thanks in large part, Ellison said, to its cloud-based
application suites for enterprise resource planning, human capital
management, and customer relationship management.
Impressive as that SaaS growth is, Ellison believes that the future
of PaaS and IaaS will be even brighter. PaaS and IaaS revenue rose
40 percent, to $397 million, in Q4, reaching $1.4 billion for the
fiscal year. See what's driving
customer demand. |

WannaCry Ransomware Exposes Some Third-Party Support
Models
Support services offered by some third-party vendors run directly
counter to new federal guidelines for thwarting malicious software.
The guidelines, issued in May by the United States Computer
Emergency Readiness Team (a cybersecurity agency within the US
Department of Homeland Security), are a response to the WannaCry
ransomware attacks. Included in the advice is to "patch as soon as
possible." But at least one third-party support vendor has called patching
"outdated." |
New Program Celebrates Modern Developers
