Microsoft Works with Oracle

Microsoft's Bill Gates, Oracle's Ellison, and Apple's Steve Jobs were the three flags of the US IT industry. This time, the first two will stand in the same camp.

Oracle and Microsoft have announced a partnership, with Microsoft's Azure and Hyper-V platforms supporting some Oracle software, including Java and Oracle databases, and the use of Oracle software on the platform to get official support from Oracle.

Ellison, known as the "Bad Boy", never seems to have changed his style. In the 2008, Mr. Ellison made "cloud computing what it is" disdain, but in the last two years he has changed his accent: cloud computing is his other dream.

Oracle has always been a traditional software sales company whose customers often buy licenses and business applications for databases and then install them on the company's computers to pay Oracle a maintenance fee each year. Although Oracle has always wanted to push its own strong products to Microsoft platform, but has never been successful.

Over the past few years, as cloud computing has mushroomed, many start-ups have sprung up, changing the landscape of technology, placing software services in remote data centers, customers without having to install them on corporate computers, and getting the same services at relatively low cost, Oracle also wants to allow users to use their products in SaaS form.

Microsoft, for its part, has been on the verge of an enterprise solution and is able to tap into the market's main OA, office and OS, and its programmatic advantages are further extended with Oracle's underlying support (databases and key products).

The interesting news is that the latest protocol actually means that Microsoft has embraced Linux and Java software, which has long been a competitive product for Microsoft's Windows platform.

Microsoft's focus is that partnering with Oracle is a better counterweight to Amazon's AWS Cloud service, the main competitor of Microsoft's Azure. In the cloud computing market, Microsoft is changing its "conservative" style, trying to turn itself into a sea-turner Platform Builder.

Microsoft is willing to accept the old rival Oracle, means to all enterprise software open arms. Based on these software constructs, MS can take the lead in capturing enterprise cloud platforms and will benefit from customers paying for their data center services-regardless of the software the customer is using.

At present, the Enterprise Cloud Platform field does not have a clear leader; Ms hopes to quickly help companies develop cloud markets through tolerant attitudes and win-wins ideas, while SAP Hana and IBM, which have the same positioning, are still groping in their own territory.

Microsoft and Oracle's cooperation, ostensibly is the cloud computing trend forced Oracle to find allies, "bad child" through the "curve salvation", a long-cherished wish; but do not ignore, relative Ellison's overt, to seize the Enterprise cloud Platform Bill Gates, is secretly stealing smile!
