Will Oracle Roil the DB Market?

https://www.technewsworld.com/story/85634.html

This article points out how hardware companies have created history in IT industry and they are questioning if big companies like Oracle is steering the market properly. The article says that the first innovation began when Oracle introduced the first Exadata machine that could keep most, and eventually all, of a business’ database in memory, which greatly accelerated database performance, the second innovation announced at last year’s OpenWorld, and fully released earlier this year, is Oracle’s autonomous database software which can patch itself without human help and the third to be cloud computing.

They say that taken together, all of this is more than a technology story and it’s a tale of economics — specifically of creative destruction. Advances in technology have begun to commoditize the tech industry, and Oracle is trying to accelerate this curve. Cloud computing, especially, is a form of commoditization in which basic compute services can be delivered for a fraction of the costs usually involved in supporting all of one’s IT needs in-house.
