You must not work in Fortune 500 IT. Dear God how they love to shovel money at Larry Ellison. Trust? Let me tell you about the CIO's who distrust any data storage that ISN'T Oracle.
- mikeryan 10y agoI agree with you but this isn't data storage. For those Fortune 500 companies who've made the shift to cloud services Amazon currently fills the role that Oracle does in data storage. I'm sure there's plenty of Fortune 500 CIOs who are still hesitant to embrace the cloud in general, but If there's a CIO out there who's moving some services to the cloud going with Oracle over Amazon just because its Oracle then they're out of their element.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoEven my most progressive we-want-to-be-like-Silicon-Valley clients still haven't moved everything to the cloud. Legacy is hard. Many many critical apps will continue to use Oracle until they are eventually sunset in a decade. Oracle is going to have a nice long ride into said sunset.
