Dennis Howlett
One thing that caught my eye in the #oracle video ads: 'We make it easy' - interesting contrast to 'run simple' #bigdata #oraclepaas

. @dahowlett It will be interesting to see the data on traction of cloud. Remember Larry's claim that Salesforce was a "false cloud". I will ask what is "true cloud"
[-]
Dennis Howlett
Exactly
[-]
John Furrier
. @dahowlett You will hear the notion of "Full Service PaaS" I want to know what that service is
[-]
John Furrier
customers want a "cloud valet"

FYI. #Oracle invested $5.5BN in R&D in FY15 according to latest financials. That’s 14% of Revenue! #Wow

. @Phil_Dunn1 all the top dogs say they invest billions I'm skeptical in general in how they really account for it; I'd love to see breakout of what constitutes the billions
[-]
Phil Dunn
Good question for the execs ;-)
[-]
Dave Vellante
off the top - that's significant - I think EMC is close - ibm won't be that high b/c of the high services component
[-]
Phil Dunn
EMC R&D $2.99BN FY14, 12% of revenue, IBM R&D 6% of revenue. #Oracle R&D much higher than both
[-]
John Furrier
. @Phil_Dunn1 EMC Joe Tucci never rests he is all about organic (R&D) and non-organic (M&A) growth; Oracle is the same way
Werner Grift
What regions can expect a oracle cloud data center in the near future and can we expect excellent (and maybe free) connectivity between them to enable redundancy and speed.

Use case for cloud is not just test dev any more it's for scaling now

[-]
Bert Latamore
3 things we see now says Oracle SVP Amit Zavery live on #theCUBE form the #Oracle PaaS Announcement:
• Integration: On prem to cloud, cloud-2-cloud
• Mobile enablement: API entry, mobile to service
• Process integration: Building a workflow.

Whats Oracles R&D spend compared to other "Cloud" focused companies?

Dave Vellante
well certainly Oracle, IBM, EMC/VMware spend on R&D - I would add Amazon to that mix
[-]
John Furrier
Larry and team say billions but they don't have an exact number I'll try to find that out
[-]
Phil Dunn
Oracle FY15 R&D in financials here: http://investor.orac... , Amazon $9.276BN, 10% of revenue. https://ycharts.com/ great for research!
Werner Grift
Can you please elaborate on your cloud portal site and what developers can expect in terms of playing around and getting to know the platform.

great I"ll ask that for the cloud guys coming up stay tuned
Phil Dunn
Is public cloud commoditizing just like x86 vendors? look at whats happened to Dell privatizing, IBM selling off x86 business, HP splitting,etc. Amazon, Google, Azure all in a price battle. How low can they go before becoming margin zero?

John Furrier
thanks for the questions keep them coming.
[-]
Phil Dunn
revenue rich, cash/margin poor...
[-]
Phil Dunn
I think the problem with most cloud providers, they don't control the whole stack, so depend on IP from other vendors-can they control their destiny?
[-]
John Furrier
. @Phil_Dunn1 the margin is loss leader shifting the value to high margin services is the key; value has to be there
[-]
Phil Dunn
and if that value becomes commoditized?
[-]
John Furrier
I believe that value never get commodized but it shifts maybe up the stack or to the app and app ecosystem
[-]
Kaisar Nova Khatak
.@Phil_Dunn1 IAAS commoditizing...Value add has moved up the stack to PAAS and SAAS. Microsoft vs Oracle face-off in Hybrid Cloud solutions space.
Phil Dunn
What happens if you're not happy with Amazon after you migrate? How do you move off?

AWS Management Portal for vCenter enables you to migrate VMs to/from AWS
[-]
John Furrier
. @Phil_Dunn1 AWS will have to address the lock-in issue just like everyone else; they are pushing to the enterprise hard
[-]
Phil Dunn
@DBAStorage Assuming you're running VMWare. Not Oracle friendly

Peter Herdman-Grant
VMware loves Oracle! :)

So oracle is claiming that all of its on prem sw can run in the cloud - same function, same compatibility and it's claiming this is unique - thoughts? Comments?
