After years of ridiculing the idea of cloud computing, Oracle is officially all in as of last weeks Oracle Open World show. At the confab, CEO Larry Ellison took the wraps off Oracles public cloud platform and strategy.
Oracles public cloud is going to be a combination of platform as a service (PaaS) and applications/software as a service (SaaS), with the glue being Java Enterprise Edition. The five components comprising Oracles public cloud are Sun servers; Fusion Middleware, Oracle database; Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c; and Oracles Fusion Applications.A few pieces of the Oracle cloud (like CRM) are there now; most pieces seem to be coming in the near future (as is pricing, apparently).
