We can be proud of this fact.

Nothing to be proud of there. Late to the starting gate and lame execution. Oracle "cloud" is nothing to be proud of.
OP: not for long!
MH is just spouting BS to keep his hand in. AWS will not be slowing down. We will not be catching up.
Dev is made of incompetent thugs and psychos who are mostly 40+ and have no idea how to do anything. I have heard OCI is a true mess. Nothing is going to change. Corrupt and clueless management are not going to suddenly start producing wondrous products.
Mark Hurd said at the sales kickoff in 2016 that Amazon was first but will fall back bc they cannot keep their momentum. He spewed a bunch of numbers like he always does to make people think he’s smart, and went on to predict the rise of oracle cloud and SaaS Cloud sales dominance.
Too bad we didn’t record him. Such an id--t.
What medal do they give for 5th place in the Olympics?
@UfGQPGj-lya : yeah, sure. must be for this that Oracle in FY19 will invest more money in the old, awful and formerly dead OCI-C than in the new, shining and formerly holy OCI (aka bare metal, which is the old name, as a devote Oracle employee you should use the correct name).
suggest you get up-to-date with the new roll-out of our cloud technologies and datacenters.
get over it, dear new Oracle millenial. OCI is an horrible, obscene and uneffective cloud-ish proposal, without any appeal on the market. even Alibaba is offering much more attractive solution.
IT is is even worse than it sounds. In this survey, Oracle doens't even rate in the top 5. According to this https://www.parkmycloud.com/blog/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-cloud-market-share/ The top three have 55% of the overall market. Worse yet, Alibaba is rated higher with the top 5 taking 64% of the overall market.
Oracle Cloud*
*Multiple, disparate offerings that aren't interconnected and which, on occasion, need manual provisioning/lead time to setup which are predominantly sitting in rented datacenters without dedicated connective or even just installed on-premise with the customer. In other words, a hosted offering at best or a rebranding of co-lo/on-premise at worst, but we call it "Cloud" because our stock would plummet if people really knew how awful our technology was.
The reality is that Oracle is becoming old and irrelevant like the founder/CTO/chairman. Issuing statements like "Customers are abandoning AWS and migrating to Cloud 2.0 in droves. Bare Metal Cloud is an unparalleled success." is the type of marketing spin that keeps the cash flowing for the executives who are among the highest paid in the industry.
Being 5th is nothing. Being 1st is what will count. There will be a dominant cloud vendor and it's not going to be Oracle. Look at the database wars that Oracle won. 5th isn't even a starting point for the future, and you know nothing is going to change. They've already spent their wad on the AWS people and the $6 million dollar man.
Customers are abandoning AWS and migrating to Cloud 2.0 in droves. Bare Metal Cloud is an unparalleled success.
Nothing like finishing 5th in a 5 horse race. I guess that's good enough for a participation trophy.
OMG that's funny by the OP. Kind of feel bad for the OP as clearly he or she doesn't realize it's game over for nos 4 and 5 and beyond. All that money dumped into a customer-non-friendly cloud, that doesn't even work correctly... and even with the cloud washing and Oracle pressure tactics (audits and all) and still - only #5. LOL.
So that means according to our CEO that we are fourth loser... how much does he get paid for that achievement?
I remember the times when LE proudly went on battle versus AWS, declaring war for the biggest cloud provider in the world...er...sorry...in the universe.
Now the millenials in Oracle are proud to be fifth, and losing share to not only to Azure, AWS, IBM and Google, but also to Alibaba whom started just a year ago......
The times they are a-changin', if this is the millenials pride, I prefer to be an oldie (but goldie)
lol
Saying youre the 5th largest cloud is like saying youre the 5th largest fast food restaurant. Its not so much as an accomplishment as a plaintive cry of desperation. No one is proud of working at Stuckeys on Route 28 in rural Tennessee. They do it because they have to, (just like people still at Oracle).
Oracle used to be the largest software company in the world, crowing now about being 5th in a race it should have dominated is, well, its just sad.
There are more people running VMware on AWS than running in all of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. VMware on AWS is growing at twice the rate of OCI, and VMware isnt even a cloud!
