Oracle’s cloud adoption strategy: Demystify market, play long game | #OOW
by Zoe Bernard | Sep 21, 2016
Oracle may have been late to the cloud game, but it is rapidly developing a relationship with the cloud. So just what are the company’s cloud strategies?
John Furrier (@furrier) and Peter Burris (@plburris), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, sat down with Hari Sankar, group VP of Product Management at Oracle, during Oracle OpenWorld 2016 to discuss Oracle’s future in the cloud.
The race between Amazon and Oracle
Sankar pointed out that Oracle is relying more on the cloud than many of its detractors might think. In what is swiftly becoming a toe-to-toe race between Amazon and Oracle, Sankar said, “We can do what Amazon can do, but Amazon can’t do what we can do.”
In other words, it’s possible to run an Oracle database on Amazon, on Oracle and on Microsoft. But when it comes to Amazon? “I can only run Amazon on Amazon,” said Sankar. “We’re trying to demystify what’s going on out there — we’re playing the long game.”
Meanwhile, cloud adoption has been a slow process when it comes to workloads. After all, only six percent of workloads are running on public structure cloud infrastructure, according to Sankar.
The right solution at the right time
“We have 400,000 database customers, and we’re in a great place to start moving them over to cloud,” said Sankar.
Currently, Oracle completes 45 billion transactions each day and already supports 40 million unique weekly users on its cloud. “We’re showing up with the right solution at the right time,” he concluded.
