Analysts discuss developers as Oracle announces new cloud commitment | #oow15
by Nelson Williams | Oct 27, 2015
The Oracle OpenWorld 2015 conference has moved into its third day, and with that comes new announcements from Oracle and other vendors about Big Data, the cloud and applications. What does this all mean for developers working in the trenches of the digital revolution?
To talk about this question and the events of the conference, John Furrier and Brian Gracely, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, came together for a quick discussion before the day three afternoon keynote presentation.
Attracting the open-source developer
Furrier opened the conversation with a question about developers and what’s happening for them at the show. Gracely answered that this was a suit and tie type of event, meant for the enterprise people. The other side of the coin was, as he said, the hoodie-wearing open-source developers. He wanted to know how to attract them, as their work seemed to be changing the way enterprise companies do business.
Furrier offered his opinion about open-source developers, how they want help with the tools they use, but that they also want to be left alone to do their jobs. Furrier then continued, explaining the DevOps cloud ethos that infrastructure is code and how Oracle is positioned well to take advantage of that idea.
Signs in the cloud
Gracely then described the biggest challenge of the Cloud: moving data. Data is heavy, he said, and this was a major problem for moving applications into the cloud. If applications can take their data natively into the cloud, then companies would be more likely to use cloud services.
The two then considered what the talk they’ve heard from the convention, its running themes. Furrier said that he’s heard two things from customers: they want more, and they want to go faster. Gracely focused on the message from Oracle. The industry giant was presenting the promise that they were in the cloud to stay, an announcement that would help its customers feel that Oracle was committed to supporting them in the cloud.
