Oracle CEO Larry Ellison revealed some key details regarding his company’s plans to enhance cloud offerings during last night’s keynote from the annual OpenWorld conference, kicking off four days of festivities around Oracle’s fresh future.  Setting the stage for Oracle’s position in an industry-wide transition to IaaS laced with cloud-driven solutions, Ellison unveiled the lofty goals behind his In-Memory option for 12c Database, one of several ways Oracle hopes to make good on its 2010 acquisition of Sun Microsystems (read our earlier coverage here).
