Ellison, founder of Oracle, criticizes Amazon as a hypocrite
Oracle founder and CTO Larry Ellison (Larry Ellison) announced the launch of new database features on Tuesday. But it wasn't long before he started his favorite performance at the big event: attacking Amazon.
It was reported last week that Amazon plans to get rid of Oracle products completely by 2020. Amazon's market-leading AWS cloud service has been hitting Oracle's core database business over the past few years.
Referring to the report, Ellison said that Oracle's other competitors, such as SAP and Salesforce, have made similar efforts to build their own database products, but none of them succeeded. In fact, he accused Amazon of being a hypocrite because it used Oracle's database while selling its own database products.
"Amazon wants you to use its Aurora cloud database and Redshift data warehouse. But it has been using Oracle's database, which is a bit embarrassing." "they wanted to get rid of Oracle 10 years ago, but they still rely on Oracle," Ellison said. "
Amazon recently spent $60 million on Oracle's database products.
Ellison says he still likes Amazon a little bit. He quipped that he had also bought a new Amazon Kindle e-book reader.
In addition to attacking Oracle's biggest competitor, Ellison announced on Tuesday that the company has launched an autonomous database (Autonomous Database) for nearly a year and now has a new ATP (automated transaction processing) feature. Oracle's autonomous database uses machine learning technology to do conventional database management tasks traditionally done by humans.
With the new ATP feature, autonomous databases can now "support a variety of transactions, reports, the Internet of things and machine learning in one database, allowing people to more easily develop and deploy applications, real-time analysis of transaction data, personalization and monitoring for fraudulent activity."
