Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute<\/a> \u2014 your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the \u201creimagination machine\u201d that is the cloud.<\/p>\n In today\u2019s Cloud Wars Minute, I take a look at how Oracle\u2019s bold multicloud partnerships \u2014 with Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud.<\/p>\n Highlights<\/p>\n 00:15 \u2014 One of the ways in which Oracle has been distinguishing itself is not just with its new technology, but with interesting go-to-market approaches. Now, Ellison recently said that while Oracle\u2019s multicloud business, where its three competitors, Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud, all offer the Oracle Database<\/a> to their customers, that revenue was up over 1,500%. <\/p>\n AI Agent & Copilot Summit<\/a> is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details.<\/a><\/p>\n 01:11 \u2014 He said so far, almost all of that growth has been generated by the Microsoft partnership because it was the first to come on board. Ellison believes that as the AWS partnership and Google get up to speed \u2014 and they get all the infrastructure set up to support that \u2014 you\u2019d think that\u2019s going to drive a new round of growth for the Oracle Database business.<\/p>\n 02:12 \u2014 Can the Oracle Database hit $20 billion in revenue in five years? Ellison seemed bullish on that. One reason is the new Oracle AI Database, purpose-built for the AI Revolution. Second is these multicloud partnerships. There\u2019s such a demand among customers who have wanted the Oracle Database but have felt trapped using Microsoft Azure<\/a>, AWS, or Google Cloud. <\/p>\n 03:15 \u2014 The AI reasoning, which Ellison was calling it, also known as inferencing, is something a lot of companies are going to be doing when they take these new tools and say, \u201cHow do I suit this for my retail company or my clothing company or my trucking company?\u201d That\u2019s where, Ellison said, everybody\u2019s going to want to do this. He sees massive demand for it. <\/p>\n 04:32 \u2014 In a full-length article that I have today on CloudWars.com, I offer four specific points on why this approach that Ellison led with Oracle \u2014 and that the others fully agreed to \u2014 is so important. It\u2019s a great trend moving forward in the direction of more capability, more choice, more power in the hands of customers here in the buyer-seller equation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute \u2014 your daily cloud news and commentary show.
