November 21 News, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> Media reports, Oracle as a cloud service provider, its executive Larry Ellison pointed out," Cloud computing is not only the future of computing trends, but also the current and past computing mainstream, it connects the computer and the network. But our industry is rather strange, they just change one word, they think they create new technology. "With more and more business activities using the cloud, Oracle began offering private cloud hardware systems--exalogic and Exadata, and launched Oracle Cloud Services in October."

Jewell, director of Oracle Cloud Services strategy, said the company wanted to attract more small business users and hoped that the final service would be as inexpensive as those based on open-source technology such as OpenStack. He pointed out that the customer base for Oracle cloud services is very broad. There are a lot of project users want to use Oracle technology, but can not get the corresponding support of IT departments, the process is more cumbersome, so that they have to temporarily use open source or OpenStack, visible integration is indeed an urgent problem to solve.

There are also a number of consumers who have never considered Oracle, mainly considering licensing, technical support, and so on. For these consumers, Oracle will try to open up technology to more companies.

Oracle will strive to maintain the same price as the overall package, and other Third-party network service providers such as Salesforce.com also provide some expansion services to facilitate the formation of a holistic service market. Oracle has not had a similar pattern of collaboration before, and cloud services will lead to the emergence of a series of pure web companies and the use of Oracle services.
