Oracle, Cloud Computing, and Search
August 6, 2009
I recall that Oracle was once skeptical of cloud computing. I also remember when Oracle bought me breakfast in New York to explain the wonders of Secure Enterprise Search 10g. The world has changed. I read “Oracle To Keynote Cloud Computing Expo” and did a quick double take. The Sys Con publication stated:
Private clouds for the exclusive use of one enterprise can however mitigate these concerns by giving the enterprise greater control. In a keynote address to be given at SYS-CON’s 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Richard Sarwal (pictured), SVP of Development for Oracle Enterprise Manager, will explore how enterprises are likely to adopt public and private cloud computing, building on a foundation of virtualization infrastructure and management systems. The keynote will be titled: “Cloud Computing: Separating Hype from Reality.”
Now I know that cloud computing within the Oracle embrace is good. But what about Secure Enterprise Search 10g, on premises or from the cloud?
