Oracle's Ellison Vows "Most Comprehensive Cloud On Earth"

CWmike writes "Oracle CEO Larry Ellison declared the company is ready to offer 'the most comprehensive cloud on the planet Earth,' during a webcast event on Wednesday. 'It's been a long time coming,' Ellison said of the Oracle Public Cloud, which encompasses Oracle's suite of Fusion Applications delivered as both SaaS (software as a service) and PaaS (platform as a service) features, including the Java Cloud Service and Database Cloud Service. It's also the home of Oracle Social Network, the company's foray into Facebook-like collaboration tools for enterprises. Wednesday's event — and Twitter (where his first tweet is a gem) — also provided Ellison with an opportunity to tout what he called Oracle Public Cloud's many advantages over rivals such as SAP and Salesforce.com, as well as to engage in some of his traditional competitive trash talk."

Their real competition in this space is Amazon, and they don't even seem to be addressing that. The majority of cloud work I've done lately has been using AWS instances. Yes, Salesforce has the big name for enterprise class ERP apps, but the big data crunching, file distribution, and work all seems to be happening with AWS these days.
