“Interclouding” is one of the terms being used to describe the move from the old client-server model to the new world of integrated cloud and hybrid cloud engineered solutions. The enterprise requires solutions both on-premise and in the cloud platforms that function together seamlessly.

Amit Zavery, SVP of Cloud Platform and Integration at Oracle, sat down with John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015 to discuss where Oracle fits among the whales and why it plans to be a winner in the platform wars.

Three in one

Zavery was quick to point out that Oracle has the only cloud solution that contains the big three: infrastructure, software and Platform as a Service. While acknowledging the other players like Amazon Web Services, Inc., Microsoft Azure and Google, no single one of them is capable of providing a complete solution for the cloud that can be fully integrated, he said.

This more complete approach, Zavery explained, is part of Oracle’s mission to deliver a consumer simple type interface across the board but for the enterprise consumer and in all areas. This gives Oracle a distinct advantage, as firms utilizing different cloud platforms will have one of those three services limiting their growth or adding complexity resulting in greater cost.

On and off premise

As an on-premise middleware provider for decades, Oracle has an established and meaningful record, and according to Zavery, moving data from premises to the cloud and then back should be easy. This is because Oracle’s platform is capable of providing an integrated system between the two so that data can be easily transferred.

As an example, Zavery referenced being able to take on-premise data, move it to the cloud for alteration and then seamlessly move the data back to the on-premise site for analytics. This gives the enterprise customer the ultimate in flexibility and ultimately creates an agile environment attractive to any business.
