SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
OpenWorld -- Oracle Executive Chairman and Chief Technology
Officer, Larry Ellison today
demonstrated that Amazon databases are 20 years behind the latest
release of the Oracle Database in the Cloud. In his keynote
presentation at Oracle OpenWorld 2016 in San Francisco's Moscone Center, Ellison shared
benchmark test results that showed that Oracle
Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) performed up to 105X faster for
Analytics workloads, 35X faster for online transaction processing
(OLTP), and 1000+X faster for mixed workloads compared to Amazon
DBaaS. Ellison also showed that the Oracle Cloud is optimized for
running Oracle Database while Amazon Web Services (AWS) is not. An
Oracle Database running on the Oracle Cloud performed up to 24X
faster than an Oracle Database running on AWS.
"Oracle's new technologies will drive the Cloud databases and
infrastructure of the future," said Ellison. "Amazon are decades
behind in every database area that matters, and their systems are
more closed than mainframe computers."
Ellison also announced the availability of Oracle Database 12c
Release 2 in the Oracle Cloud with the launch of the new Oracle
Exadata Express Cloud Service. This service provides the full
enterprise edition of the Oracle Database running on the
database-optimized Exadata infrastructure. Starting at just
$175 per month, Ellison showed this
Cloud service is lower cost than similar offerings from
Amazon.
With the launch of Oracle Database 12c Release 2 in the Cloud
first, Oracle has demonstrated that the Oracle Cloud is the most
optimized, complete and integrated Cloud for Oracle Database. The
latest release provides organizations of all sizes with access to
the world's fastest, most scalable and reliable database technology
in a cost-effective and open Cloud environment. In addition, the
world's #1 database includes a series of innovations that add
state-of-the-art technology while preserving customer investments
and supporting their transition to the Cloud.
Ellison shared detailed analysis during his keynote that showed
how the new Oracle DBaaS delivers unparalleled performance for
analytics, OLTP and mixed database workloads. In a direct
comparison between Oracle DBaaS and Amazon databases, Ellison
shared the following analysis:
- Oracle Cloud Database performed dramatically faster than Amazon
Cloud Databases in benchmark tests
- Oracle Cloud was up to 105X faster for analytics than Amazon
Redshift
- Oracle Cloud was up to 35X faster for OLTP than Amazon
Aurora
- Amazon is 20 years behind Oracle in database technology
- Amazon Aurora is missing critical OLTP features that Oracle
shipped 20 years ago, including scalable read-write clusters,
parallel SQL and the ability to replicate encrypted databases
- Amazon Redshift is missing critical analytics features that
Oracle shipped 20 years ago, including table partitioning,
materialized views, support for rich data types and sophisticated
query optimization
- Amazon databases do not support mixed workloads
- Oracle ran analytics workloads 1000+ times faster than Amazon
Aurora, Amazon's OLTP database.
- Oracle ran OLTP workloads 1000+ times faster than Amazon
Redshift, Amazon's analytics database.
- Amazon databases are more closed than IBM Mainframe databases,
and are not compatible with on-premise enterprise database
applications
- Amazon Aurora, Amazon Redshift and Amazon DynamoDB only run on
AWS
- With AWS, organizations can't use dev/test for on-premises,
can't use disaster protection for on-premises, management is
incompatible with on-premises
- Amazon databases are not compatible with existing enterprise
database applications such as Oracle, DB2, SQL Server and Teradata
and force organizations to throw away decades of on-premises
investments
Ellison also demonstrated that AWS is not optimized for the
Oracle Database:
- Oracle Database was up to 24X faster for analytics on the
Oracle Cloud Platform than on Amazon Web Services
- Oracle Database was up to 8X faster for OLTP on the Oracle
Cloud Platform than on Amazon Web Services
- AWS has limited storage performance: Amazon Elastic Block
Storage limited to 48,000 IOPs/nodes, which is 8X slower than
Oracle Cloud; Amazon Elastic Block Storage limited to 800
MB/sec/node, which is 19X slower than Oracle Cloud
- AWS cannot scale-out Oracle across nodes: AWS provides no
support for Oracle Real Application Clusters
Oracle is the only vendor with true workload portability across
on-premises and Cloud deployments. This helps ensure customers can
continue to leverage their existing investment, keep costs down and
easily benefit from the efficiency of Cloud. With proven continuous
innovations and industry-leading performance across the entire
platform from infrastructure to database, including support for
mixed workloads, Oracle Data Management Cloud is the leader today
and in the future.
Quotes from Larry Ellison's
keynote presentation:
- "We are preserving your existing investment and allowing you to
move it to the Cloud where you can save money, run faster, more
securely, and more reliability than you can in your own datacenter.
This is a big deal and a big difference. You simply cannot do this
with Amazon. Moving applications and data into Amazon is a lot of
work."
- "Amazon Web Services are simply not optimized for the Oracle
Database. I'll go further than that. Amazon Web Services aren't
optimized for their own databases either, as you will see. It
doesn't get better, it gets worse. Amazon, who pioneered
infrastructure as a service, is still delivering first-generation
infrastructure as a service."
- "Oracle continues to innovate as we move from Internet
computing to Cloud computing. So if a Cloud database is in your
future, and I think it is, which Cloud is best for database? Why do
you think I'm asking that question? I have an opinion. The Oracle
Database is optimized for Cloud computing."
- "Our whole strategy over the years has been to make your data
and workloads portable, so you can migrate. So you have a lot of
choices in a current generation of computing. And then, when a new
generation of computing comes along, you can migrate to that as
well. Customers always have choices."
- "There is no choice with Amazon. You run on Redshift. It only
runs on Amazon. There is no choice whatsoever. Once you move in to
AWS, you cannot move out. If they raise prices, get out your
checkbook."
- "We develop Linux, our own version of Linux, open source,
contribute back to the community. We develop MySQL, open
source, contribute back to the community. They don't do that. AWS
is more closed than an IBM mainframe."
- "The Exadata Express Cloud Service is our new entry-level
version of the Oracle Database in the Cloud. It's priced very
aggressively at $175 a month."
- "Speed of light is not instantaneous. If you're in London and accessing a server in Phoenix, it takes longer than if you're in
London and accessing a server in
Scotland. So it's very important
to keep the data and the datacenters close to the users. And we do
that by building these regions all over the world."
- "We run on premise. We run in Amazon. We run in IBM. We run --
we run at Microsoft. We run every place. We give you lots of
choices. We run on the hardware of your choice. We run on
specialized machines like Exadata. We can put our public cloud
behind your firewall, or you can use our public cloud, lots and
lots and lots of choices."
"Amazon has three databases, Aurora for OLTP, Redshift for
analytics and DynamoDB, which is it's NoSQL database. All three run
only in AWS, no place
- "Why does Oracle Public Cloud run the Oracle Database so much
better than the Amazon Public Cloud? Well, on our infrastructure,
if you look at this, our storage performance, our I/Os per second,
are eight times better than Amazon."
