Oracle into Public Cloud Service...

Oracle's long-gestating Oracle Public Cloud service is now live, offering customers more than 100 cloud-based applications and a range of cloud-based platform and social networking services for developers and users. 

The Oracle CEO touted the flexible capacity of the Oracle Public Cloud. "We have data centers all over the world," he said. While the elasticity of the Oracle service is somewhat similar to Amazon's cloud services, he said, other competitors -- which Ellison did not name -- "cannot respond to capacity on demand."
 
Ellison touted the system's security. "One of the things about the Oracle database in the cloud is that it is secure. We keep your data separate and secure." The service runs on fault-tolerant hardware for reliability. And Ellison noted that the system is built on industry standards such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), HTML5 and Java.

  1. Nice Post! One of the main reasons that people think a public cloud will be more secure than a private cloud is that the company offering the service is going to want to keep the public cloud safe, since there are so many people who use it.
