It’s been two months since Larry Ellison, in an onstage interview, treated the world to his latest, loudest takedown of cloud computing: “All it is is a computer attached to a network! What are you talking about? … It’s databases! It’s operating systems and microprocessors and the Internet! And all of a sudden it’s none of that — it’s the cloud! What are you talking about??” The audience at the Churchill Club in San Francisco roared its approval.
I used to think His Larryness would come around eventually. He has a long history of ridiculing the latest trend and, eventually, embracing it for marketing purposes. But Ellison has been singing the same mocking tune about cloud computing for a while, and now others are joining the chorus. Just recently, both HP’s Mark Hurd and IBM’s Sam Palmisano have indicated their dislike of the term “cloud” and its inherent fuzziness.
