Oracle cloud into the machine scare many enterprises

Oracle's OOW Congress has just ended, skepticism also followed, the meeting at the Oracle launched a variety of cloud-based products and services, but in price and strategy, Oracle still wake up I feel alone, ultra-high prices and services have been out of the cloud itself brought about by the service, If Oracle really treats Oracle cloud as a http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/39760.html, he is far from being a ">".

While Oracle's new service is aimed at its cloud computing platform, IT professionals say Oracle still needs to make significant changes in price and strategy to appeal to the service.

The new service can now be previewed through Oracle Cloud Web sites, including its Hyperion (Hyperion) Planning and Budget cloud services, financial reporting cloud services, data and insight cloud services, social networking cloud services, developer cloud Services, storage cloud services, and messaging cloud services.

All of these services are based on Oracle's application and are charged through subscriptions.

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) will then appear, although at what time, the price is not yet known. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison defines his target audience as Oracle's IaaS for Oracle's existing customers who want to run customized apps on Oracle's cloud, not customers from other vendors.

The IT department is looking for a model that is more open and based on consumption, says Brickfish CEO Michael Mullarkey, Brickfish is a social-market software developer for retailers running on NaviSite's IaaS.

In other words, Oracle's cloud needs to look more like its software, service competitor Salesforce.com, and Salesforce's platform, the service subsidiary Heroku.

"People may be leaning towards companies, not Oracle," he said. "I prefer to choose a more independent manufacturer, and if I need something from Oracle, I will buy it alone." ”

Oracle will not be the true vendor of cloud conversations unless "they begin to treat IT professionals as respected people in a strong community," says Carl Brooks, an analyst at the Boston Tier 1.

And that would mean more honest communication on products, performance, and Oracle's roadmap, Brooks explains, and it's a fad in the IT world.

Oracle: Price itself out of the cloud?

In addition to the new preview service and IaaS program, Oracle revealed in Tuesday some of the early-released cloud products, including Oracle database and Java cloud services, are now largely available. The price of this service is: Database subscription 175 USD/month, Java subscription 249 USD/month. For these prices, customers can get a data mode running on Oracle 11g Release 2, and 5GB data storage, or 1 Oracle WebLogic Server, 1.5 GB RAM Java heap, and 5 GB file storage.

In Oracle's cloud, 50GB disk storage on 11g database is up to 2000 USD/month; Oracle WebLogic server 1499 USD/month for 6 GB RAM and GB file storage under Java service products.

"I find it hard to fix prices," said Richard Calmas, neighborhood Pay Services chief executive Richard Calmas, a housing leasing financial services company.

"We consider that their database products are in the market, but at the moment, for us, the price is prohibitive," Calmas said.

Amazon Drives database IaaS transfer

At the same time, looking forward to a surprising price for the future, Oracle's upcoming IaaS rival, Amazon, has added its relational database service, which supports Oracle's database.

Users must pay and bring their own Oracle database license, but Amazon will provide free 750-hour monthly capacity, i.e. 20GB database storage, 10 million I/O and 20GB free backup storage.
