This is because the entire IT industry faces the challenges of cloud computing, Oracle is also not immune. Oracle's published data show that 2013 fiscal year (as of May 31, 2013) Revenue of 37.3 billion U.S. dollars, a few growth. 2012 fiscal year revenue 37.221 billion U.S. dollars, 2011 fiscal year revenue 36 billion dollars.

After the large data machine Exadata X3, Oracle made a formal debut of the 12C database on October 1, 2012. Unlike previous databases, the 12C is primarily for cloud data, which can store, compute, and process unstructured data in large data. In addition, with its storage devices, storage analysis tools to create a set of "Database to storage System" architecture.


architecture like this can simplify it and reduce costs through a combination of storage and analytics. For example, 12C fully integrates and works with Oracle storage systems, reducing the cost of IT management, dynamic tuning, and configuration by 65%. In the traditional way, along with the IT and the business integration, the entire enterprise's it storage cost increases gradually. According to Hurd, corporate data is growing at a rate of 40% a year. The cost of storage for an enterprise accounts for 10% of total IT spending. With the increase of it developers and technicians, the enterprise's IT cost investment will increase by at least 4% per year.


A senior enterprise software analyst told reporters that the 12C products are Oracle's fist-type products, can drive the sale of other Oracle products, Oracle has strong expectations for it, hoping to lead the 2014 fiscal year revenue.
