Oracle launches Exadata database in the cloud | #oow15
While a long history can sometimes hold companies back in the fast-paced world of tech, Oracle is turning its many decades of experience into an asset as it moves into cloud. Juan Loaiza, VP of the Systems Technology Group at Oracle, joined theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015 to talk about the company’s approach to the cloud.
“It’s very simple. We’re just providing a better product, innovating across all the different dimensions,” he explained. “So we’ve long had the best database in the world, and we keep enhancing it.”
What are some of these enhancements? Loaiza gave a long list, including the company’s highly engineered systems. “We’re building a huge amount of intelligence into the database platform that makes it much more effective, much more cost-effective, much higher performance, better availability, better security.”
Exadata in the cloud
“Cloud is a big deal,” he said. “So we’ve launched our database in the cloud. Just recently we went into production with Exadata in the cloud, which is a very big milestone in the world of cloud.
Loaiza added that for the first time Oracle has a “first-class, mission-critical database system, both hardware and software, that runs on the cloud that can run any workload, whether it’s OLTP [Online Transaction Processing], analytics, in-memory, consolidation …. It’s a very proven platform.”
In-memory, in particular, has a big impact on the power of the cloud. “It’s cutting-edge technology. It uses the latest vector processing, columnar formats; we have a whole bunch of special algorithms in there,” Loaiza said. “And really it provides a dramatic performance improvements and very simple to use also. You have to tune a lot less, you have to tweak a lot less, because the power of the platform just makes everything run fast no matter what.”
Loaiza said that Oracle’s history is what sets the product apart, leveraging all of Oracle’s experience with features, security and everything else that has gone into its databases over the years. “It includes everything that Oracle’s developed for the last three decades,” he said.
