拚Saas也拚Iass，甲骨文急起直追亞馬遜
儘管Ellison是超酷鐵打的老爺，但論到當代雲端事業之格局和視野，我們認為Bezos比他值得受人尊敬。
去年11月新聞，Larry Ellison怎麼表示的？
“He doesn’t consider beating AWS in the infrastructure-as-a-service business the most critical factor in Oracle’s quest to succeed in cloud computing.”
「甲骨文沒想要在IaaS領域幹掉AWS，因為那不是在雲運算裡甲骨文的關鍵勝出因素。」
Oracle’s most immediate goal is becoming the #1 company in cloud applications (SaaS), where Amazon doesn’t have a significant footprint, and where Oracle has a huge portfolio of applications. Oracle also sees SaaS as more profitable than the IaaS business.
「甲骨文最當前的目標，是成為SaaS領域的No. 1，甲骨文則有一大量的軟體服務，在此領域亞馬遜還不算個咖，甲骨文也認為SaaS比IaaS好賺多了。」
急起直追亞馬遜
不料，這老爺昨天居然在舊金山舉行的Oracle OpenWorld上，劈頭就說，Oracle第二代的data center IaaS問世了，所以 “Amazon’s lead is over”…..
原因是：
They offer twice as many cores as Amazon Web Services (AWS), he said, and twice as much memory, four times the storage and 10 times the input-output capacity.
這個理由夠充分嗎?! 看來我們要開始花點時間摸摸看Oracle Cloud (IaaS)了。
