“...
Enter Zenedge...
The acquisition of Zenedge, a cloud-based network and infrastructure security provider, was announced in mid-February. While news of this is public, it hasn't received much coverage. That's because Oracle has been trying to keep attention away from it by deliberately using every chance it gets to push its autonomous database instead. It has led everyone to believe that it's its only strategy for market domination, when it's just a piece of the puzzle. Zenedge is Oracle's secret weapon, it's the larger part of its strategy, and what it will be using to take on Amazon.
More on the strategy
Oracle will use the acquisition of Zenedge to help position itself as the most secure cloud platform or, the "Fort Knox of Cloud", if you will. It's a strategy that will work out brilliantly as the security of our data is something that is becoming increasingly important to us. The security of platforms will also undoubtedly be an integral part in the decision on who will be awarded the Pentagon's cloud services contract. Something that Oracle desperately wants, see here and here.
The idea was presumably to wait for a significant breach of data to take place, creating a window of opportunity for them to pounce. They were betting on something such as the Facebook data scandal to come to light and make consumers aware about how their data is being used and shared in a less-than-favorable way.
But Gavin, the data scandal already took place, why aren't they revealing their plans then? I agree that the timing couldn't be better as talk of protecting consumer data is at its peak. Keep in mind though, Oracle's purchase of Zenedge predates the Facebook data scandal by a month (That's right, ONE month). On account of that, it didn't give them much time to prepare or integrate their systems. It also may be due to the fact mentioned above, which is that Oracle desperately wants to win the Pentagon contract. That's a decision that will only be made later this year. So, it could be argued that they are waiting until it gets closer to the decision to reveal their strategy in an attempt to make competitors seem unprepared and unqualified to handle such an important contract.
As with all things, time is of the essence, and the window for using the Facebook opportunity is closing as the shock value that the data scandal brought is fading. So, if this is what Oracle was waiting for, they should act soon...”
NO WAY Oracle can pull this off. If you now anything about oracles leadership & Safra’s DC connections, no way this will work. There is no oracle Cloud security !
