The
’Software In Silicon’ Edge
In the cloud era, why does Oracle still pour so much talent and
money into engineering its own microprocessors? “Our religion here
is fairly straightforward: we want to build the best hardware
products in the world,” said John Fowler, Oracle executive vice
president of systems, at Oracle OpenWorld Latin America last week.
Building the best means eliminating any barriers to performance and
cost-effectiveness. Increasingly, many problems related to
security, efficiency, and simplicity must be solved at the
“software in silicon” level, Fowler explains in this
article.
Oracle last week announced its new SPARC S7 processor, designed to
bring Oracle’s most powerful microprocessor innovations to smaller,
scale-out workloads at commodity prices. Companies can tap the
SPARC S7’s innovations in three ways: as a cloud service running in
Oracle’s data center; as an engineered system that bundles
hardware, software, and networking (SPARC MiniCluster S7-2); and as
SPARC S7-based servers. Read more
on how SPARC S7 technology helps companies with both cloud and
on-premises workloads. |

piecemeal,” warns Jeff Haynes, director of human capital services
at Baker Tilly. “If you’re not doing it from a big-picture

How
Telogis Overhauled Its Business
Harnessing technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data,
and the cloud enables logistics leader Telogis to revolutionize how
companies manage mobile assets—from truck fleets to heavy
equipment—and the workforces operating them. But it’s not just
technology driving the company’s double-digit growth: Telogis
continuously learns about its customers to direct them toward new
services. “It’s really part of the economics of the SaaS business
model that if you can’t figure out how to retain and up-sell
customers, the economics just don’t work,” explains CEO Dave
