Larry certainly appears to have missed the whole point of the term...cloud computing is simply a recognition of the fact that enough Internet hardware has been deployed that it is now possible to architect high-level solutions around the "cloud" without having to be specifically concerned about the feasibility of the interconnections between the actors in the solution...of course, Larry's not that dumb...he is simply trying to shift the marketing buzz back toward Oracle..

[jppputube]

he is not missing the point, he is deliberately trying to confuse the point while thinking he is so clever. "Cloud Computing" never meant that you get computing done by any kind of vapour. It was a term made to emphasize that the users are unaware or unaffected by the details of the computing infrastructure they use. Users dont need to know which OS or CPU or Database engine is delivering service (its probably the last bit that pissed off this c()cksucker.

His leg crossing is so sexy.

And today he decided to announce Oracle Public Cloud. Really? So Larry, tell me... what do YOU mean by cloud?

[ninuxy]

Accessing information over a network, as he simplistically averred, is entirely different from being able to allocate resources on demand depending on the need, workload, etc., to save money.

Larry is a charlatan and his entire company runs as one big marketing scam, pushed by the salesmen who do anything to shove their bloated, ineffectual products down companies' throat.

I know at least two dozen architecture level techies in large corporations who are clamoring over Oracle products.

Shit he does not even know he is a dinosaur...... Extinction beckons

Cloud is nothing but a backup system for your machine

This is another proof that USA is not innovating anymore. The industry just change the term to ''cloud computing'' to everything we already do like e-mails, software as a service, etc.

Today, renting a server is "cloud computing''. it is ridiculous and very worry.

For Oracle, it will be even better. People don't understand in what market companies like Oracle is. They are in the "cloud computing'' market, as it is know today. Oracle, IBM are gonna do so well with data center.

[msbrando]

Please, Larry Ellison and Oracle have been offering Software As a Service, means, "cloud computing" for today marketing strategy. So it is nothing new at all. I remember working in a company in late 90s and we used Oracle software and that software were in the Oracle data center.

When he says about "Sand Hill Road", is because it is where there are a lot of "Venture Capital Firms" and they came out with the marketing term "CLOUD COMPUTING".

Simple like that.
