Google tells us we don't need software anymore. Oracle tells us we don't need "cloud computing" anymore. And Microsoft tells we don't need Google or Oracle anymore. God help us.
Hey Larry, don't knock the cloud. I made woopie with my wife, she said I was lousy. I told her, But dear, that was Cloud Woopie". She said, "Wow, that was the best woopie I've ever had!"
I'm a little dismayed that Ellison didn't answer the question about cloud computing more intelligently. Yes, "cloud computing" has several meanings, some of them sillier than others. However, the idea of storing your data (and now your running programs) on computers that you don't own or maintain or can even quantify as machines is a fairly new development and an interesting one that can dramatically reduce the effort needed to deploy and manage a web application. But Larry went hyperbolic.
Interesting idea... integrating at the engineering level rather than at the consultancy/services level... wrt Sun/Oracle being the former and IBM Global Services being the latter.... I like the former...
Years later and Ed Zander turned out to be completely right about the cloud computing, with Oracle eventually being forced into the business, with only 2% because of the Ellison's ignorance. If Oracle entered earlier they'd probably be where Azure is now, with 5X-10X of their current market cap. People don't realize how large of a business blunder it was for Oracle to not get into the cloud, mainly because of Ellison's egoistical charisma.

I guess "storing your data" was insufficiently precise. I wasn't referring to passive files accessible via ftp and rcp, but your "active" data, from your business databases to your email and medical records. Our digital "state" as people and companies is quickly moving away from our physical location and onto the network. What do we lose and gain with this trend? That question is very interesting to me and Larry should have something interesting to say about it, but he chose not to.
Larry Ellison knows what the term "cloud" is all about ... ... it is 'virtualization' & 'fault tolerant infrastructure' ... running on low-cost hardware ... ... but the layman or the average Joe of course usually do not grasp that ... ... and might think about "vapor" ...
I don't know, I think he answered it well. People have been storing data online for decades. I've stored documents I've worked on in my website in a locked location since 1999. if anything "cloud computing" is just a marketing term for describing the maturity of the internet. Heck, how long has MS Visio used a "cloud" to describe the internet?
@Darkhex maybe. i just had this weird perception that interviewers are supposed to ask questions, not interrupt, joke and belittle. esp the comments about cloud computing. many consider this showmanship but an interview isnt the place for it.
My point is to not make sweeping generalizations, especially generalizations about religions or ethnic groups. So yes, we are in violent agreement. Who cares. LOL :-P
Please, Larry Ellison and Oracle have been offering Software As a Service, means, "cloud computing" for today marketing strategy. So it is nothing new at all. I remember working in a company in late 90s and we used Oracle software and that software were in the Oracle data center. When he says about "Sand Hill Road", is because it is where there are a lot of "Venture Capital Firms" and they came out with the marketing term "CLOUD COMPUTING". Simple like that.
YOU - THOSE WHO HAVE THE MOST HAVE THE MOST TO LOSE - LIKE LANAI - YOU AHVE 98 PERCENT OF THE ISLAND FOR NOW - BUT YOU WON'T SOON - PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT
Ellison is afraid of cloud computing, plain and simple. His business model is built on software licenses, hefty maintenance charges, and customer lock-in. Cloud disrupts all of this, and Ellison knows this...
They really should have scrapped Ed from this interview. His questions weren't really that great and he's just a goon, I should have just skipped all the way to the crowd questions.

I would spend the whole year listening to Larry Ellison. He's simply the best.
I appreciated the insight on the Sun acquisition, but I really enjoy the response to the question on Cloud Computing. Laughed my ass off.
10:50 is when it actually starts
44:45 Starts the real fun
Google tells us we don't need software anymore.
Oracle tells us we don't need "cloud computing" anymore.
And Microsoft tells we don't need Google or Oracle anymore.
God help us.
Starts at 10:55

The guy interviewing didn't do a good job. Dear interviewing people listen to the valuable people you invite.

Ed Zander’s ego is insane. Shut up and let Larry speak.
