2013. Oracle: Imagine, that your business is a yacht


Oracle OpenWorld conference could be the most boring event in the IT world, but one thing made it cool: just before the conference, Larry Ellison's yacht (Oracle Team USA) won the America Cup regatta. And Larry immediately used this fact to promote its IT business. It turned out that the Oracle's yacht won mainly thanks to the Oracle Cloud and Big Data. At the beginning of the race it was just more or less competitive yacht. But, unlike its competitors it was overloaded with sensors and cameras that collected 200 GB of data during each race. Then mixed with the information about sea currents, winds, other yachts it was analyzed in the Oracle Cloud. Based on this information every day (before each race) specialists modified/tuned yacht parameters. In result, by the end of the regatta Oracle's yacht has become virtually inaccessible for competitors. In the same way cloud technology could optimize your company. ***

Yesterday, Oracle launched its public cloud service Oracle Cloud and, of course, the CEO, Larry Ellison, rocked at the presentation. The biggest surprise was the fact that Larry is now likes the word Cloud. He says, "I like the word Cloud because it’s a charismatic brand."

The second surprise was the fact that Ellison can respect a rival and even to recognize that Oracle imitates it. It's about Amazon. Larry says "As part of our platform we have a lot of common with Amazon Web Services. Archive is elastic like Amazon’s cloud is elastic." But the rest of the rivals, of course, were less lucky this day. ***

This summer at the Cloudforce conference Salesforce boss Marc Benioff showed the slide titled "Beware of the False Cloud! " with the picture of Oracle Exadata - storage appliance, that is used to build private clouds. Benioff said: "The false Cloud isn’t efficient. It’s not economical.

2010. Oracle kills Sun Cloud



In the period just before Oracle's acquisition, SUN made an announcement regarding its public cloud platform called Sun Cloud. The platform was intended to serve as an open alternative to Amazon Web Services, exciting open-source enthusiasts who eagerly anticipated a new cloud space where Microsoft, Amazon, and Google would face competition, and customers could freely switch between platforms to enhance application reliability and scalability. However, Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, expressed his dismissive stance towards Cloud Computing, bluntly labeling it as "bullshit." Consequently, last week, he officially shut down the Sun Cloud project. According to Larry, selling computing minutes for mere cents is not within Oracle's realm of interest. Instead, Oracle will focus on providing hardware and software solutions to those who engage in such endeavors, as well as catering to companies in need of "private clouds."
