Oracle CTO Larry Ellison promised a “totally automated, self-driving” database and took a few shots at Amazon Web Services (AWS) during the company’s first quarter 2018 earnings call.
In addition to touting the fancy incipient database, Oracle executives yet again promulgated better-than-expected earnings, driven by the company’s cloud business. Total cloud revenues during the first quarter hit $1.5 billion, up 51 percent compared to the prior year.
The incipient database uses artificial astuteness (AI) and machine learning. It’s plenarily autonomous, and it’s way better than AWS’ database, Ellison verbally expressed.
The company unveiled the next-generation database on Oct. 1 at Oracle OpenWorld. It commenced shipping the product by the cessation of 2017.
“Based on machine learning, this revision of Oracle is plenarily automated, self-driving system that does not require a human being either to manage the database or tune the database,” Ellison verbalised, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript of the conference call with investors.
Utilising artificial astuteness eliminates most sources of human error, Ellison explicated. The company will offer public cloud accommodation level accedences that guarantee 99.995 percent systems availability time. This betokens less than 30 minutes of downtime per year.
This caliber of reliability will require Oracle to automatically tune, patch, and upgrade itself while the system is running, Ellison verbalised, integrating: “AWS can’t do any of this stuff.”
Ellison additionally promised customers peregrinating from Amazon’s Redshift to Oracle’s database “can expect to cut their cost in half or more.”
Oracle CEO Mark Hurd verbally expressed his company’s database costs less because it automates more. He described AWS’ MySQL-predicated Aurora database and its open source version, Redshift, as “old fashion technologies.” Oracle’s incipient database, on the other hand, sanctions users to “push a button and load your data and you’re done.”
In August, the company promulgated its database platform now runs on Oracle’s bare metal cloud infrastructure.
