Oracle will sell the Broomfield campus in Q2 2019. Some employees will be given the opportunity to relocate at their cost to anither Oracle location. Good luck.

hoping this is fake new
OK Go ahead. See what happens.
P2V them. After inventory and eval is done, of course. Archive the old stuff as needed to satisfy any regulations, set up a plan to deploy, migrate and /or upgrade to server less tech, new VMs or other cloud provided services. What’s so hard about that 😂
No, they are not on cloud. They are either in a VM or on a system 10 years old. and they run on OEL5. They have to be rebuilt from the ground up.
Why aren't those systems at Broomfield DC not on Oracle Cloud yet? Isn't Oracle big on Cloud? If they are already on Oracle Cloud, it is a weekend job. It is 150TB per appliance. That is far more than what is needed for any applications and a large percentage of database use cases. Oracle needs to prove their Cloud is working.
Over 1,000 systems in the BRM DC. Many running OEL5.
That wouldn't be weekend work
It seems that unsubstantiated rumors are the only thing that gets posted these days.
IF this campus (or any campus) were to be sold, it would likely be in effort to "financially engineer" a positive outcome for the fiscal year. Since ORCL is inept as a technology company and has only shrunk its footprint as it lays off talented engineers, perhaps as a simple landlord in a highly-valued location is ORCL's real calling.
Gosh, can't it be relocated? We have DC's all over the place, what's the problem? Certainly must be less expensive real estate and people in other places.
Data center will be offered a relo package to the cloud. Can't spell "could" without "cloud".
If this is true what would they do with the GIT data center there.
That link was from after the Oracle acquisition of Sun and there were layoffs and attrition, so the buildings were less than full to start. Bldg 6 was leased and the planned expansion to the empty property to the east was never initiated - since there was no chance of Oracle increasing headcount. Eventually most of BRM campus was downsized and leased over the past 8 years, now it's a shell of a campus and even the STK people are mostly gone or rif'd (they were the largest engineering/dev group left) Oracle seems to be consolidating in the Denver and CO Springs offices and it's unlikely that BRM will remain an active campus for long but as of today it's still open and limping along. A mausoleum of good intentions gone bad and the lingering smell of arrogance from the horrible executives that couldn't manage anything, even their lives depended on it, and eventually everyone else's lives got ruined instead. Sometimes the ghost of Pony Boy's flowing locks are seen in the hallways :(
I would hardly call a real estate posting from 2010 confirmation.
Confirmed. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/16749146/500-Eldorado-Blvd-Broomfield-CO/
