Five months after cloud love-in, critics worry about costs of deploying Oracle hardware and DBs in Microsoft’s cloud
Speaking at the time of the news, Oracle founder and CTO Larry Ellison said:"We've made it one seamless thing: you go to the Azure portal, you can provision an Oracle Autonomous Database, our very latest technology on an Exadata server, our very fastest technology. You can then marry that to OpenAI technology, Teams. You can marry that to this incredible library of Microsoft technology: it's all now one multi-cloud system.
"It's the same issue with virtualization and VMware that has been going on for years and years. It's not a negotiation. If you're running on-prem and you want to move to Azure, the last thing I would do is go to Oracle and say, 'Am I allowed to do this?'" "The cost of enterprise software simply cannot be ignored when making the decision to move to the cloud. My advice to any organization considering Oracle Database@Azure would be to make sure that their Oracle licensing experts are sitting at the table throughout the decision-making process," he said. ®Following publication, Oracle finally replied to us with a statement, disputing some of the points raised by the licensing experts we spoke to.
Eric Guyer, founding partner with software asset management advisory firm Remend, pointed out that Exadata server requires an active clustering technology known as. Any customer moving from another Oracle database would, therefore, require twice the compute capacity, “if not more”, to serve that cluster.
