Re:Oracle is gunning for AWS with new infrastructure offering on Monday September 19, 2016 @05:14PM (#12534780)
...and here is how that is going to play out. We're a large public sector customer. As part of our last ELA renewal (which was an effing effing nightmare over vmware licensing) we got this crapload of Oracle cloud products that we didn't really want or need, database cloud, process cloud, integration cloud, on and on. I think there must have been a mandate from Mark Hurd to the effect that "There will be cloud products on EVERY deal." So now our rep is trying to get us to do POC's to move apps onto the cloud stuff. I bet other customers can tell similar stories. And so Oracle can show growth in their cloud business...
