Reflections after Oracle OpenWorld 2015 – The Complete, Comprehensive and relatively Concise Overview of a Cloud Conference

The Oracle OpenWorld 2015 conference in the last week of October 2015 was full to the brim with announcements, demonstrations, brainstorms, roadmaps, visions and other Oracle technology related activities. The main theme clearly was the cloud. Every other session revolved around the cloud and virtually every Oracle product is headed for the cloud – or is already there. Additionally, a number of cloud services is developed from the ground up – inspired perhaps by existing products but implemented afresh.

In a series of blog articles, AMIS has reported on OOW 2015 and the most relevant announcements. These articles paint a fairly complete picture of status and near future in all areas of IaaS and PaaS and their on premises counterparts.
