Transform digital, interconnected ecosystem: companies are called to a new step forward, for which someone rents a revolution “disruptive”. Computing in the cloud, in this match, played a key role. A giant of computing enterprise-class Oracle what he is so convinced that 80% of its supply of solutions, both in terms of application platform and infrastructure, is also proposed in the cloud version.
The California-based company has also introduced in Italy (to Cloud Day yesterday in Milan) innovations that have driven the last edition of the World in San Francisco, held in late October. Various ads, starting with the improvements introduced by the Platform for Integration, to be read than a vision that sees migration in the cloud is not immediate – second Oracle will take at least a decade – and that therefore requires companies with a great attention to the coexistence between applications and infrastructure in the cloud and on premise, namely residents systems in the company. The high road, and analysts emphasize the long, then, is a hybrid, where the two worlds above become complementary, providing businesses with the flexibility to move from one to the other and vice versa, depending on the model more convenient or more suited to the specific needs of each individual situation.
The intrusion protection part from silicon
One of the challenges which are called the vendor, the challenge that lays directly on the chief information office and IT managers, is that it can handle this transition phase (the hybrid cloud) in total safety. And it is on this plane that Oracle is convinced to have in hand a wildcard that others do not. Which? That of a new microprocessor, the Sparc M7, designed and developed with intrusion detection and data encryption natively integrated in the silicon component. Strengthening the security component from the hardware and not software, to make it pervasive on the higher levels: the essence of the main new announcement autumn house in Redwood Shores.
The multi-chip brain in 32 core question was designed for the new family of Sparc systems (the system engineered SuperCluster M7 and M7 and T7 server) systems that besides the protection dowries advanced above also added tools (SQL in Silicon) to maximize the efficiency of processing database-level and record-breaking performance (so reads the statement issued by the company) in the management of cloud applications and Big Data preexisting.
The goal of Oracle, in short, is to make available to developers an open platform useful to be able to write software to further improve the performance of virtualized environments. One of the peculiarities of Sparc systems M7, not surprisingly, is a technology (Silicon Secured Memory) that provides the real-time control on access to data in memory, so as to protect the system from unauthorized intrusion and the effects of potential errors at the database level.
Larry Ellison’s warning: “we lose too many cyber battles”
The top of Oracle, in baptizing new chips, they talked about “revolutionary technology”, ” the most significant step ever taken in the design of Sparc microprocessors last decade “and of a” new era that combines safety with increased efficiency. ” Statements that say a lot about the extent of at least from the point of view of the California company. It was the rest of Larry Ellison, at the event in San Francisco, explaining how and why security should be incorporated directly into the cloud. The charismatic leader of Oracle and current Executive Chairman and CTO of the company, emphasized among others a concept, to bring security to the lowest level of computing architectures, the basic technology stack, and then to the microprocessor. Elevate the security component as a signal of the cloud, starting from the hardware, is also a clear response to the fact that Ellison’s words, “we are losing many cyber battles.” See the 20 million records containing information and data fingerprinting of staff of the US embassies lost by the US government.
