Oracle vs. Amazon: How will Oracle overcome its late entry into cloud computing? | #OOW
by Bev Terrell | Sep 19, 2016
While Amazon’s AWS (Amazon Web Services) is currently the biggest player in the cloud industry, Oracle has its own unique strengths — some derived from its legacy products, some derived from its continually evolving innovation — that make its a strong competitor to not just Amazon, but all the current players in the field.
Steve Daheb, senior VP of Oracle Cloud – IaaS, PaaS, Security, Mobile and Analytics at Oracle, joined John Furrier (@furrier) and Peter Burris (@plburris), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, to discuss Oracle’s positioning in the cloud industry.
Taking on Amazon: The biggest guy in the cloud
“You guys are now putting a viable dent in [Amazon’s cloud business],” commented Furrier.
Daheb responded by saying, “I can run Oracle DB on Amazon, Oracle or Microsoft … with Amazon, you can only run Amazon.” He went on to clarify how Oracle is continuing to build on its legacy strengths, providing scale, service and value.
While there has been some concern regarding disappointing financials, Daheb stated: “We’re not even getting started yet; we’re playing the long game,” said Daheb. As pointed out in the September 15, 2016, Oracle earnings call, by co-CEO Mark Hurd, Oracle is “the fastest-growth cloud company in the world.”
Despite the perception of Oracle as a late entry into cloud computing, Daheb said, “I think we’re showing up with the right solution at the right time.”
Involving developers
One of Oracle’s popular initiatives is its big focus. According to Daheb, “… With respect to developers …Oracle Cloud is going to be a multi-city road show, allow[ing] them development tools [on an] open platform. Tools like application containers.”
This close working relationship with developers can lead to further innovations in the cloud, helping Oracle to stay on top of trends and fuel the development of future growth, Daheb concluded.
