They Don't Sell The Chips Larry Wants At Fry's
Once again, Larry Ellison is being misconstrued, even though he couldn't be any clearer. It happens all the time. He said he was buying Sun in part for the Sparc microprocessor, but lots of folks just didn't believe it. Now, he said that Oracle would be buying some chip companies, and folks think he means AMD or ARM for their microprocessors. Take the man at his word and look at the new vertically-integrated Exalogic "cloud in a box" for answers. There are plenty of opportunities to gain product differentiation and competitive leverage in all the clever proprietary semiconductors surrounding the CPUs, storage and interconnects in a high performance server like that, and there are a number of companies that look like good acquisition prospects.

Brocade Wants to Kill Your Cloud Buzz
In his keynote address at the NetEvents Press Summit in Istanbul, Brocade CMO John McHugh pulled a major "Debbie Downer," decrying the immediacy of cloud computing and calling it "overhyped". He further predicted that true utility computing is "probably 10 or more years away" and counseled IT in the meantime to work with a single vendor to build a private cloud "inside a metal cage." He also used the opportunity to defend networking pure-plays like Brocade and take what seemed possibly to be a thinly veiled swipe at HP for its acquisition of 3Com, saying that integrated server-network solutions "have failed to provide customers with the flexibility and economies they need." And, finally, he wrapped up his downbeat dialectic by apparently speaking for the entire industry and saying ?We just don't [at this time] have technical, legal and security [capabilities] to engage fully with cloud.? Mr. McHugh's comments seem to reflect the severe collective thinking of Brocade; it might do them good to all read the latest research from CompTIA which reveals, among other things, that, in the next year, 72% of end-user organizations will expand the number and types of cloud services they use. Brocade shorts, are you listening?
