July 15, 2009

Analysis of:Lessons from Twitter's security breach | news.cnet.com

Regardless of how careful a cloud provider is with security, all it takes is one or two persons with weak passwords to lead critical information.  Although blameless, cloud computing in general and Google in particular are likely to suffer from this incident.

July 14, 2009

Analysis of:IBM's Data-Crunching Cloud Plan | www.forbes.com

Cloud computing is already successful in the consumer and SMB market, but still has not penetrated the enterprise market.  One or more killer apps could change that.  IBM’s move to tie business analytics to the cloud could have a major impact on the SME market.

Cloud Computing: Beyond the Hype

June 2, 2009

Analysis of:McKinsey Cloud Computing Report Conclusions Don't Add Up | www.cio.com

Cloud computing is here to stay, but isn’t likely to take over the IT world.  Every new technology seems to go through a hype cycle where it will allegedly solve all the problems in the IT world.  Then later it quietly settles into an appropriate niche.  Cloud computing seems likely to follow this same pattern.

Oracle/SUN Competitive Edge

April 20, 2009

Analysis of:Oracle Acquisition 'Transforms Market' | www.crn.com

The acquisition of Sun MicroSystems will allow Oracle to expand their Software portfolio in many different areas and create a tremendous challenge for other software vendors. On the software side, it makes sense.  Especially in business mobility and applications for smart phones, where Oracle does not exist and SUN/JAVA is the preferred language shared by most application developers in this sector.   Also, SUN "FREE" Open Office applications which is similar to Microsoft Office Suite.   It has been a long time since we heard from Redwood vs Redmond while the focus was shifted to SAP and other ERP providers.   This is a great opportunity to put Oracle back in saddle competing with Microsoft in the smart phone apps-market.  Also, creating noise for free Open-Office and JAVA.  In addition, let's not forget JAVA role with Oracle family of applications. On the Hardware side, it is a different matter.   Sun has been struggling without any success to revive this sector.

Analysis of:Can Obama reverse job offshoring? | blogs.computerworld.com

President Obama is following through on his campaign pledge to try to limit the movement of jobs overseas.  If approved, his proposals will have an impact on offshoring.  Perhaps the major result, however, will be changing the mind-set that India/China is a requirement for lean operations.

Oracle seems ready to dive into the social networking business.  Collaboration is one of the big directions major IT vendors are taking today.  Oracle has some experience in this area already, and seems ready to make a deep commitment.  A product of this type would fit perfectly with the upcoming Fusion Applications.

Oracle Buys Everyone!

February 23, 2009

Analysis of:Oracle: Prescient Purchases | seekingalpha.com

Oracle is one of the few companies with both the cash and the prescience to take advantage of the current economy by snapping up dozens of undervalued companies.  When the downturn is over Oracle will emerge even stronger than before.  Their direction is to cover the broad market as well as every small niche.
