• #31: It’s very common these days to think of consolidation as using virtualization technology run multiple applications on shared hardware.<CLICK>VM technology does enable resource pooling by making a single physical resource look like many, and it enables scalability by resizing the VM but the limit with VM technology alone is still the single physical resource. Some virtualization vendors will have you believe that virtualization is always the right solution for consolidation and cloud, and that virtualization is necessary and sufficient.<CLICK>There’s a complementary technology that’s been around for years called clustering. Clustering makes multiple physical resources look like one, so it’s also a way to create shared resource pools, and the way to scale a cluster is easy – one can add new physical nodes to the cluster with no interruption in service. Clusters are also continuously available even if individual hardware or software fails, whereas virtual machines are only able to move and restart after a failure is detected. Oracle offers world-class clustering at many levels of the stack.<CLICK>Our point is that you need both virtualization and clustering for consolidation and for cloud, and that these two technologies are, in fact, highly complementary and can be used together.
• #33: Clouds are provided at different levels: IaaS – computing servers, storage, networking and the associated virtualization and OS PaaS – application development and deployment environment SaaS – end-user applications<CLICK>The more the cloud service provides, the less the consumer must provide. For IaaS, the consumer needs to provide the application platform, the application and any customizations. For PaaS, the consumer can take advantage of the platform, and provide only the application and customizations. For SaaS, the consumer can simply customize the application that the cloud is providing. IaaS is the most flexible because users can put almost any software onto it (as long as it’s compatible with the underlying hardware), but it also requires the most work, since the user has to provide all the software and manage and maintain it. The cloud provider manages only the hardware and data center. PaaS is less flexible than IaaS, because the platform software is fixed, so things like programming language is platform-specific, but PaaS are generally designed to be flexible enough to support many different application types. Application developers benefit from having the platform services, such as database services or Java appserver services) available to them, so they need not re-invent those wheels. The service provider is managing those platform services, doing things like data backup, software patching and updating, etc., so the user does not have to. SaaS is the least flexible because it is a ready-to-run application requiring only customer-specific customizations to use. The cloud service provider is managing the entire app.<CLICK>Note that in each of these cases, the primary target user is different. Typically “IT Professionals” including operations folks and developers use IaaS. “Developers” use PaaS. “Business end users” use SaaS. In all these cases, the service provider (whether it’s internal IT department or an external service provider) takes care of managing the cloud, and the users do not need to worry about all the details of all the cloud’s components, how they are integrated, configured and managed. However, I will point out that the service provider needs to worry about these things. Today’s Oracle event will address topics of interest to BOTH service providers and consumers of different types.
• #34: Our cloud strategy is broad since we aim to give customers choice. This chart provides an overview of all the things we are doing in the cloud computing space, and I just wanted to make sure you understand the overall strategy before we talk about certain, specific parts of that strategy.You can see that we offer solutions for private and public clouds, and for integrating clouds.For Private Clouds, we offer:Applications that run on a standards-based, shared platform, that is, Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gPrivate PaaS including database-as-a-service and middleware-as-a-service offeringsPrivate IaaS including compute servers, storage, networking hardware, virtualization and OS softwareFor Public Clouds, we offerOracle On Demand delivers a wide variety of cloud services, including SaaS applications as well as managed hosting servicesWe also enable customers to run Oracle on 3rd party public clouds, such as Amazon, Savvis, AT&T and othersAnd the Oracle middleware and database platform powers hundreds of 3rd party SaaS ISVs and other public cloud service providersIntegration across clouds is critically important as well, and there we offer comprehensive solutions for security and integration across public and private clouds
• #35: So what are some of the things that make the Oracle Public Cloud different and unique?Most comprehensive, integrated cloud for business-critical applicationsBreadth of pre-integrated app and platform servicesEnterprise-class, business critical capabilities – performance, reliability, availability, scalability, security Proven experience for private clouds and Oracle On Demand – history of providing services for thousands of customersDelivering the most innovative and advanced applications, database and middleware as a service#1 Database#1 App Server#1 IdMPortability between cloud and on-premise deploymentCustomers not locked-in to Oracle Public CloudCan also move existing on-premise apps to Oracle Public CloudBased on open standards (Java, SQL)Based on standards for easy interoperability with components from other vendorsLeverages existing skills and ecosystemsOracle Public Cloud is currently in PREVIEW AVAILABILITY.
