Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans

The Future of Oracle Cloud and the Role of Alloy, With EVP Clay Magouyrk


Listen Later

The Big Themes:

  • What inspired Alloy? Less than a decade ago, Clay says, companies were trying and failing to build their own private clouds, because the technology just wasn't there yet. But Oracle believes it now has the tech to meet this desire among customers.
  • What kinds of customers are interested? Clay points to organizations that deal with a lot of regulation as the prime audience for Alloy—they're interested in cloud but it has never worked for them before. This includes governments and companies in industries like financial services, healthcare, and telecomm.
  • Is this the future of cloud? Oracle does not believe the future of cloud is to consolidate power among a few vendors, Clay says. Alloy is intended to infuse flexibility into how cloud technology can work for customers, putting much more control in their hands.

The Big Quote: "Cloud infrastructure has been around for at least 15, maybe 16, 17 years. We're only 30% market penetration. It's not because people haven't heard of it yet... What they need is they need better solutions that actually solve their problems."
