<<< Oracle Open World 2014 >>>
Opening Keynotes Sunday, Sep 28
Larry Ellison: Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer Oracle
- Oracle was forced to deliver SaaS, PaaS and IaaS because of a promise that was made 30 years ago.
- Oracle has the largest SaaS portfolio in the market.
- Oracle Databases and Oracle Applications can be moved into the Oracle cloud with a single press of a button.
- New offering in Customer Experience in the cloud is Data as a Service
- Oracle Cloud Platform
- Apps on Mid-Tier on Database
- The CIA and NSA were early Oracle customers and so security has been built into the Oracle products from the beginning
- 19 of the top 20 SaaS providers are based on Oracle
- Data is compressed 10x when moving to the cloud automatically.
- Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance backs up Oracle 10, 11 and 12 and can be located in a different location from the primary database.
- SQL Query acceleration engines have been embedded into silicon which gives a 10x performance increase.
- The acceleration engines are attached to the shared cache along with the main cores
- The accelerator contains a decompression engine because the act of decompression occurs 20 x more frequently than the act of compression.
- Memory protection incorporated in die so that the application can only access the data that it is allowed to and this is enforced within hardware which helps to prevent malicious code from accessing other memory blocks. This also helps in tracking down coding bugs because the memory protection can be left on permanently without incurring any performance penalties
Renée J. James: President Intel Corporation
Renee spent ages talking about the Big Bang of data.
Funny how presentations go around, Renee just announced that there will be more data on earth than stars in the known universe by 2020, something I presented 4 years ago when I said that within 10 years there would be more bytes of data on earth than there are stars in the known universe.
This was inspired by Michael Dell when he announced that there was a Zettabyte of data in the world today.
And in case you are wondering there are 150 x 10^21 stars in the known universe according to NASA.
