Move over Amazon, Oracle really wants to play | #OOW

“The Amazon lead is over,” said Oracle CTO Larry Ellison during his keynote speech at Oracle Open World in San Francisco. Oracle has moved to the cloud and is aggressively competing with Amazon AWS in the market.

Ashish Mohindroo, VP of the Oracle Cloud, gave John Furrier (@furrier) and Peter Burris (@plburris), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE media team, some stats:

  • During Q1, Oracle’s PaaS and SaaS business grew by about 77 percent.
  • There are about 98 million+ daily cloud users.
  • Oracle handles more than 50 billion transactions per day on the cloud.
  • It operates in 195 different countries and has 19 retail data centers.

“Oracle is the biggest secret in the industry as the biggest cloud company,” Mohindroo said.
