Why The Open Cloud Wins And Oracle Loses When IT Gets Virtualized

Oracle said today they have bought a company called Xsigo that leverages the growing popularity of a new form of technology that virtualizes the network. It's called software defined networking (SDN) and it is shaking up the way we view IT and the cloud. The acquisition points to a shift in the market that will eventually make Oracle the loser. The cloud is opening up while Oracle is folding inward. Network virtualization is serving as a catalyst for a federated infrastructure that will make the open cloud more viable for an organization than a vertically integrated stack that needs to be managed by teams of IT engineers. ?Oracle is rejecting that premise and will use Xsigo to strengthen its own proprietary environment.
