According to analyst, improve the use
of data and analytics for improving business decisions and outcomes is one of
the top most priorities for companies for coming years. More and more companies
are looking forward for a cloud based analytic solution to achieve these
fundamental priorities. The trend is there is increase in cloud data growth by
almost 35% while traditional data center data growth is about 12%. In short the
cloud services are here to stay and continue to grow.
Oracle has number of offerings in
cloud services space, the recent addition is BI Cloud Services. This blog is an
attempt to explain Oracle BI Cloud offering in SaaS, PaaS and IaaS options.
What
is Private, Public or Hybrid Cloud?
Oracle’s understanding
around cloud options is a follows
Private
Cloud: This is simply
on-premises software. It is sold by user
license or processor based models and the customer is entirely responsible for
the infrastructure and maintenance of the deployment.
Public
cloud: The public cloud is not as flexible as the private cloud;
however, it presents a range of benefits not achievable with private
cloud. Provided customers are willing to
accept the limitations of choice then the overall cost benefit alone are
extremely compelling.
Hybrid
cloud: Simply, this approach integrates on-premises data with
cloud based data. This allows for
organizations to save highly secure data on-premises (perhaps by law) while
taking advantage of cloud benefits for a subset of the data. For example, government departments may keep
sensitive data on-premises while providing public data via the cloud. Users with access to both would be able to
join the data for a complete view.
Oracle
Cloud Services
Oracle
offers a full range of cloud options from private through to the public cloud.
Private
cloud: It is an on-premises CAPEX spend and standard
license model. The customer buys and
owns all HW and SW and is responsible for the maintenance. It is the build approach where the customer
constructs their own analytic solution.
Upgrades and customizations are done as per the customer’s timeframe and
requirements.
Public
cloud : This is completely the opposite of private; the
public cloud is a multi- tenant by subscription model only. Oracle retains ownership of all SW and HW
and will be responsible for the maintenance.
The OPC is an OPEX expense. As
software needs to be upgraded, it will be undertaken by Oracle on a
pre-announced schedule. Customers need
not be concerned about any aspects of operation beyond their actual use of the
software.
Managed
Cloud Services : This approach is a single tenant cloud where the
customer is able to outsource some of the deployment to Oracle. The customer still buys and owns the SW
licenses, however, the software is deployed to Oracle owned and maintained
infrastructure. This is sometimes
considered ‘hosting’. Upgrades and customizations are done as per the
customer’s time-frame and requirements.
