Now go and Oracle in the cloud

I advise you to read. In the meantime, some additional considerations on the following:.

a. As it happens in life that the topic of Oracle is a bit on the edge of my personal ' Stateyny ' order. To some extent, historically it is because I went into IT journalism on the part of various low-level problems, such as ' programming and software development ', and the automation of small- medium businesses. And then started to affect a system of separation of fact in the editorial. And rightly so: ' spit in the face to those who say that it is possible to grasp the immensity ' (c).

But even though I do not write explicitly (though I write, too), but follow.

2. For example, I really wonder how they still will be integrated with Sun. Interestingly precedent itself transform the software provider of software and hardware. It seems such an example in the history of IT was ( were back, but also in a very limited version).

IMHO, a very difficult task. May not even be real. But look - they have to guide intelligent men may know what they are doing.

3. I have repeatedly written that the marketing of IT technology leaders ' out there ' and ' here' - a rather different case. We have activated the national specifics of the market, which is expressed in the lag (1-2 years minimum) and incomplete representation.

It's good I can see an example of, say, MS, which is about the cloud was the most active way TAM said two years ago, and here - only the beginning of the year.

By the way, you should pay attention to the progress in the cloud theme, we. Here is my article two years ago following a visit to the PDC 2008 - 'Microsoft takes a ' cloud '...

Fun match with a header nynesheney publication ( it is quite clear - a lot of articles, and associations of allegory - a little ). But what's interesting: when a new topic was - the clouds were written in quotes:-).

4. As for the article about OpenWorld ( as I understand it, this is combined with the former JavaOne), we draw attention to this quote:.
============.
' For example, Larry Ellison chose the Amazon with its ... com, an online CRM- service which has been called an ordinary web -based application provided as a service (SaaS). The principal difference between the first and second, according to the head of Oracle, in that the application Saleseforce. com is not executed in a virtual machine environment, and therefore can not be dynamically scaled and poorly protected ( data from all customer service SaaS- stored in a database). '.
============.

Honestly, I was very surprised by this place (though perhaps not exactly the author conveyed the essence of statements). First, here is compared to the incomparable (IaaS and SaaS). And secondly, in general, it is known that virtualization - it is rather a first step toward this cloud architecture. What seems to be reproached for a lack of scalability and reliability, it is true enough, and more like a not very correct lunge toward the competitor (Oracle and very active in the field of CRM -. http://www. pcweek. ru / idea / article / detail. php?

5. For some reason, the article says nothing about Java and MySQL. Perhaps, in the ' clouds ' Oracle is not up to them:-).
