A generation ago, Oracle used a similar strategy to distance itself from several seemingly similar competitors, in large part by promising that its database would run on all platforms.<\/p>\n<p>This was not necessarily the key issue to enterprise IT at the time, as most of Oracle\u2019s competitors could run on the small number of major platforms in use.<\/p>\n<p>But the idea of this universal solvent gave IT management comfort that they would never get fired for buying Oracle\u2014top management would recognize the safety in going with the stuff that ran on \u201call platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/oracle-cloud-platform-services.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12331\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/oracle-cloud-platform-services.png\" alt=\"oracle-cloud-platform-services\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12331\" \/><\/a><small>An overview of Oracle Cloud Services (Source: Oracle)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_KISS_of_death\"><\/span>The KISS of death?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Today with its cloud strategy, Oracle is focusing on \u201csimple.\u201d It\u2019s simple to deploy on-premises. It\u2019s simple to deploy on public cloud (i.e., Oracle\u2019s servers). And it\u2019s, naturally, simple to deploy in any hybrid environment you want. Simple as that.<\/p>\n<p>Is deployment simplicity the most significant issue with cloud computing today? I think not. Speed, cost, the ability to move between and among clouds, and above all, elimination of single-vendor lock-in seem more important to me.<\/p>\n<p>A source from within the Cloud Foundry community (but not an IBM Bluemix team member) said he can&#8217;t imagine Oracle&#8217;s cloud strategy embracing any sort of non-Oracle application, including (and maybe especially) mobile services. Perhaps, Oracle database customers can see some simplified, cloudy migration of sorts, he added. But perhaps, this simple message will convince traditional, Godzilla-armed IT managers to keep it simple.<\/p>\n<p>So, it seems that cloud competitors must beware of Oracle\u2019s message. It should simply be taken seriously by all who compete. It also seems to tie into a relatively new meme in the enterprise IT world, that of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/from-hybrid-to-multi-cloud-seeking-order-amidst-enterprise-it-chaos\/\">bimodal IT<\/a>.\u201d For now, input and feedback about Oracle\u2019s strategy and my take on it is welcomed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_video\"><\/span>Related video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><small>Here is the original, classic video of Larry Ellison &#8220;dismissing&#8221; the cloud a few years ago. It was clear that he was, in fact, reacting to Oracle&#8217;s lack of an articulated strategy. His humorous rant was quickly followed by Oracle getting into the game in its own big way. Last week&#8217;s announcement is the company&#8217;s most aggressive foray to date.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\"
