60,000 people will convene to watch 3,600 partners and customers speak in sessions at Oracle OpenWorld this week.
Oracle’s rockstar, chief executive Larry Ellison, kicked off Oracle OpenWorld on Sunday evening, highlighting a shift to “in-memory technology to speed up by as much as 100 times the databases that are the foundation of the company’s business.”
Ellison presented:
The addition of a new in-memory option in Oracle Database 12c that accelerates performance by several orders of magnitude.- The unveiling of Oracle’s M6-32 Big Memory Machine, which he characterized as “a machine that’s ideal for in-memory databases.”
- Oracle will offer database backup, logging, and recovery as a cloud service.
- Software developers can use both databases and Java programming tools in the Oracle cloud, allowing them to develop new applications more cheaply and easily than when they had to work with local servers and then upload the software to the cloud.
Later in the day, Andy Mendelsohn, Oracle senior vice president for database server technologies, was quoted as saying, “This is the future of databases—we’re going to deliver huge performance improvements to our customers.”
This week, we expect to hear more about Oracle’s applications and its business model and strategies for getting its customer base to move into the cloud.
