Oracle Countenances EC2

Customers can use their existing Oracle licenses on EC2 at no additional cost, or acquire new licenses from Oracle

Even though it now has its own private Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle has finally certified production workloads of its E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise and Siebel CRM software, Fusion Middleware, Database and its Linux operating system on Amazon's EC2 public cloud - provided they're running on Oracle VMs.

Oracle still doesn't support Amazon's virtualization. The widgetry will be supported by Oracle and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Customers can use their existing Oracle licenses on EC2 at no additional cost, or acquire new licenses from Oracle.

AWS and Oracle will deliver Oracle software on Oracle VM with hard partitioning, and Oracle's standard partitioned processor licensing models apply.

Oracle Unbreakable Linux Support is available for Oracle Linux on EC2 as well.

AWS and Oracle will publish a set of pre-configured Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) based on Oracle VM templates that customers can use to cut implementation times. These AMIs will initially include Oracle Linux, Oracle Database 11gR2, E-Business Suite and Fusion Middleware technologies including WebLogic Server and Business Process Management. Future AMIs will include PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel CRM, and JD Edwards applications.

The AMIs will let users take advantage of Amazon's Elastic Load Balancing, Auto-Scaling, Security Groups, CloudWatch and Reserved Instance pricing.

The Only Enterprise IT Event in 2010 Covering the Entire Scope
of the Cloud Computing Spectrum

Cloud Expo was announced on February 24, 2007, the day the term "cloud computing" was coined. That same year, the first Cloud Expo took place in New York City with 450 delegates. Next November, Cloud Expo is returning to Santa Clara with more than 5,000 delegates and over 100 sponsors and exhibitors.

"Cloud" has become synonymous with "computing" and "software" in two short years. Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates per year will participate in Cloud Expo worldwide.

The cloud is certainly a compelling alternative to running all applications within a traditional corporate data center. But moving from theory into practice is where things get complicated, and this is where attending a top industry event like Cloud Expo comes in.

No one can take full advantage of cloud computing without first becoming familiar with the latest issues and trends, which is why the organizing principle of the 5th International Cloud Conference & Expo on November 1-4, 2010 - is to ensure - through an intensive three-day schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, and our bustling Expo Floor - that attending delegates leave the Santa Clara Convention Center with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their Enterprise IT endeavors.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security. The Santa Clara Convention Center is the only place to be November 1-4, 2010, if you build, sell or purchase applications or infrastructure delivered as a cloud service. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

Whether you're an enterprise or small to medium business, you'll soon be benefiting from the Cloud. Join your peers in Santa Clara November 1-4, and maximize those benefits already in 2010. See you in California!
