Big-data pioneer Cloudera Inc. has made a successful transition to the post-Hadoop era. As was evident in its announcements today, the company has evolved its solution portfolio and customer adoption well beyond that open-source big-data platform — which, though still very much a key platform component, was barely mentioned at its annual analyst summit this week in New York.

Oracle Ups its Game with Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer

Updated Wikibon research shows the business case for deploying Oracle Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer is overwhelmingly positive. Wikibon believes this platform is by far the best solution to deploy large-scale mission-critical Oracle Database applications in a hybrid cloud environment. Wikibon financial and technical research finds Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer provides 37% more business value than Microsoft Azure Stack over four years, when running Oracle Database 19c.
We believe this system is also a prerequisite and the fastest path to deploying the next generation of integrated business applications. Our research shows that generally, deploying this platform will eliminate expensive and risky do-it-yourself conversion projects and extend the business value of existing application portfolios. Wikibon believes the strong business case and increased speed to develop next-generation systems justifies the risk of an Oracle-only strategy.
For those customers who want to deploy mission-critical systems running on Oracle Database Enterprise Edition in a hybrid cloud environment, Wikibon unequivocally recommends the starting point for evaluation should be Oracle Gen 2 Exadata Cloud at Customer. Oracle has proven itself with early on-premises cloud deployments over three years, creating a production-hardened solution. It is the only platform that integrates support for full-function Oracle Database on identical hardware in the cloud and on-premises.
