Oracle’s Cloud Vision

Oracle officials talked up cloud computing at the Cloud Computing Conference & Expo conference in Santa Clara, Calif., detailing both public and private cloud technologies.

Data centers, said Rex Wang, Oracle vice president of infrastructure and management, are moving from a silo model to consolidation, to save money.

“The idea is to move these data centers toward the cloud,” Wang said.

Customers are going to use both public and private clouds, he said.

Oracle offers its Oracle On Demand service, in which Oracle applications are accessible via a cloud format. Oracle Fusion Middleware, meanwhile, can be deployed in a public SaaS (software as a service) model.

Also, Oracle will let users run Oracle technology in third-party public clouds. “We’re enabling customers to move their workloads around between these internal environments and these private clouds,” said Wang.
