Could Larry Ellison be any more full of himself?
According to market researcher DataMonitor, the size of the worldwide software industry in 2008 was US$ 303.8 billion, an increase of 6.5% compared to 2007.
Americas account for 42.6% of the global software market’s value.
DataMonitor forecasts that in 2013, the global software market will have a value of US$ 457 billion, an increase of 50.5% since 2008.
All of the Software Giants today are very much part of Open-Source Community in the past!!
Softwares in the past are FREE and are really made to sell Hardwares (Computer Chips or I.C. == Indian and Chinese) ONLY!!
However, the Software Giants today are Entrepreneurs who find GREAT Business Models for their Software Expertises!!
BTW, the most INNOVATIVE Software Technologies had always been from the Open-Source Community! It is still true today!! >=)
1st example that prompted cloud was Amazon themselves – their own website needed many time the power in Decemeber than in January. Others are the latest Mars lander. If the flight failed they didn’t need any of the stuff to process images so they used cloud IaaS. NewYork time wants to convert 90 years of scanned images from tiff to jpeg. A single server would have taken years – apparently they did it in a few days on the cloud for a few hundred dollars.
“Oracle and Ellison are both? dorks, I don’t support their business practices.”
Legolover64,
Oracle is a company not a person, and Larry Ellison is CEO of Oracle!
Anyhow, last I checked, Oracle is still king of Database Market!!
Here is the question though!
How many people out there are going to entrust another organizations with their own Critical DATA?
I wouldn’t!! I rather have my Critical DATA stay in my very own Data Centers!! >=)
SPIN MONKEYS in the IT (Information Technology) Industry created the BUZZ WORD “Cloud Computing”!
Cloud Computing = Data Centers or Clusters of HPC (High-performance Computing) renting out their Processing Power!!
Any ‘lumpy’ systems, e.g. payroll system which processes once per week/month, registration week at a college/uni, etc.
he doesn’t hate the idea,,,he’s just mocking the hoopla created by ppl around cloud computing who really just don’t understand it
Oracle and Ellison are both dorks, I don’t support their business practices.
Could someone please give a few examples of such scenario where your computing needs spikes exponentially for such short period of time that only a “cloud” can be cost effective?
Nerd Alert!
Cloud computing is simply renting software/hardware that is physically hosted offsite.
He’s right, Oracle pushed net computing 10+ years ago by releasing some web-based products. The issue is that it takes time to reengineer all legacy apps to support web clients and distributed servers (“cloud computing”), alongside new features demanded by customers and by the industry.
So it is a normal process to slowly introduce a new technology to customers who bought the old technology from you. Hence the cloud computing tag is just a new marketing line.
The crowd is totally guru nuts. “ha ha i’m so close to his reverence because i’m laughing and it’s so hysterically special and enlightened, this humor cloud.”
@thedoja If ur asking a general question, then my answer is amazon ec2
I don’t think he hates the concept … he simply hates the name ! I too hate it when our prof boast about it as if it’s the unknown ! I should send this video to her !
he missed the point.
We the users will have the bare bones of a computer – ie just an internet connection.
of course the rest will be as is.
He has no clue what he’s talking about. I’m sorry for those who has to listen him and have to laugh because it’s their boss who’s talking.
So you can spin up 10,000 new machines in about 1 day then? This is the misconception of the entire discussion. If you need a massive resource for a short period of time there was nothing in the past that could accomplish this. Trying to compare this to old technology such as SaS is ridiculous because the end result is not the same. The end result is you can have access to many times the hardware without setup for a new datacenter, building racks, hiring NOC admins, waking up at 2 am for issues
@TraxusPrime You mean a personal website, right? haha
I like your point about rental. Ever since first hearing about ‘cloud computing’ and talking about renting services on-demand “like a utility company”. One question that I have never heard answer is – Who exactly are you renting services from and how much control do they have over your access to resources?
He’s absolutely right. People act like “cloud computing” is something new, when it fact it’s old stuff with a new name. Hell, anyone remember Network Computers Oracle was pushing from 1996? That WAS cloud computing, plain and simple!
He’s not criticizing the technology, nor did he “miss the bus”, quite the contrary. He’s criticizing the idea that it’s being sold as a new idea, when it’s old stuff with a new name.
I am talking about the cloud computing technology on which I work for a major company which has invested a LOT of money and resources into this ‘old’ technology (according to Ellison).
Cheers !
wow I’m surprised how much I like this guy. I’ve never actually seen him be candid before.
a mainframe with some terminals hooked up to it = OMG CLOUD COMPUTING!
