Larry
Ellison, Oracle Cloud, and the Power of 3
Larry Ellison, Oracle executive chairman and chief technology
officer, recently laid out the major technology advances that will
enable Oracle to compete more aggressively—and in fact, leapfrog
competitors in performance and cost—at the foundation of the cloud
computing stack: infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Speaking at Oracle OpenWorld 2016, Ellison stressed Oracle's
multilayered approach to the cloud, such as its three complete
cloud tiers (applications and platform as a service, as well as
IaaS) and its three approaches to compatibility between cloud and
on-premises systems. Oracle's Generation 2 cloud data center
architecture features a three-part strategy for accelerating
performance and ensuring uptime.
There's something there about the power of 3 (the triangle is the
strongest geometric shape, after all) that expresses the
completeness of Oracle's cloud vision and strategy. Read on for details from
Ellison on how Oracle's Gen 2 cloud data centers
deliver security, availability, and compatibility with on-premises
systems. |

that are new, different, and better," says Don Johnson, who, as
Oracle vice president of engineering, leads the team building IaaS
technologies for the company. Learn how this approach
shapes Oracle's IaaS offering. |

Startup
Is Brokering Idle Compute Capacity
YellowDog, part of Oracle's startup incubator, is tapping public
cloud infrastructure—including Oracle's—and idle capacity in a
handful of company data centers to give creative firms the
processing power they need in order to produce complex 3-D
renderings of their work. Running six Oracle Bare Metal Cloud
Service servers, each with 32 or 36 cores, is as much as 10 times
as effective as using virtual machines in other public clouds, says
Gareth Williams, YellowDog's managing director. So, how long does it take
to spin up 96,000 compute cores? |
