Why the Open cloud is the winner in the era of virtualization Oracle is the loser?

Oracle recently said it acquired a company called Xsigo, which is rooted in the increasingly popular http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13868.html "> Software definition Network, And this emerging virtualization technology is changing the way we view it and cloud computing.

The deal is a sign of a big shift in the market that will eventually make Oracle a loser. Cloud computing is opening its arms and Oracle is tightening its arms. Network virtualization is tantamount to a catalyst for joint infrastructure that will make the open cloud more appropriate for enterprise organizations than a vertically integrated architecture that needs to be managed by a large number of it engineers. Oracle refuses to offer this hope, but instead uses Xsigo to strengthen its own proprietary environment.

This is a game that Oracle will lose without doubt. The enterprise running data Center is stepping into the internal management of corporate utility facilities in the footsteps of the turn of the century. The industry's Giants were aware that they should not be in the power industry. Now, many companies recognize that the data center area is performing the same scene.

In this shift, the open environment will prevail. The infrastructure will be built on open source infrastructure such as OpenStack, Eucalyptus and Cloudstack. The infrastructure that can work together will become standard. Amazon Network services, Windows Azure and other relatively proprietary environments will be open and integrated with the federated environment. I don't think Oracle will follow this path.

Oracle wants to keep a grip on everything. From the infrastructure level to the top of the architecture, Oracle sees itself as the king of the IT field. But there is only one problem: This kingdom is no longer the kingdom that it used to be. Larry Ellison, the king of a country, should not expect good luck to quell rebellion.

The takeover Xsigo just shows Oracle's strategy of "trying to keep everything under control". Oracle intends to use Xsigo to virtualize the network managed through its Exadata server. For enterprise data centers, these servers are large data warehouse machines.

Prior to the acquisition, VMware spent 1.26 billion of billions of dollars on acquisitions of SDN manufacturer Nicira half a month ago. We don't know what VMware is going to do, but Nicira is a big manufacturer in the OpenStack field. The question is whether VMware will actively accept OpenStack with cloud foundry, building applications on the platform or a higher level with proprietary platforms.

Oracle is developing its own virtualization solution to compete with VMware Virtual machine management programs. Oracle's hope is to leverage its vast database client base. Oracle will now be able to virtualize its own virtual machines after xsigo the revenue capsule, actually trying to shut out everyone else.

SDN bring us closer to this realm: the Web tends to the application, not the other way around. This means that everything will become programmable. Our network will tend to applications on smartphones, cars, and wherever you can imagine.

It will no longer be concentrated in one place. The CIO will become a personal service provider. Employees will manage thousands of business contacts, and in a collaborative environment employees will use applications and mobile devices to communicate with their broad business contacts through distributed networks. The CIO needs to adapt to the corporate network, where these relationships are combined and the people in the team collaborate with each other.

VMware now has to make a choice. is to actively accept OpenStack, with the help of cloud foundry this innovative platform that services to achieve differentiation? or will it follow Oracle's footsteps to create a proprietary architecture of its own?

Oracle will eventually become a loser. For VMware, the choice should be clear.
