23:51 Christopher White

Press folks waiting for the keynote...

00:02 Christopher White

Getting close -- the room is really filling up quickly.

00:04 Christopher White Apparently they're getting a late start... Announcement just said that we're starting in 10 minutes...

00:06 Christopher White It appears that the official Oracle OpenWorld hashtag on Twitter is #OOW -- check it out if you want to see more information from the keynote!

00:14 Christopher White strike one - Wi-Fi died... Thanks Oracle...

00:17 Christopher White Fujitsu will be giving the first talk. right now Oracle is taking about his great Fuji is.

00:18 Christopher White Toyoki from Fujitsu talking.

00:19 Christopher White pictures from Japan's tsunami. :-(

00:23 Christopher White product centric to network to human centric.

00:23 Christopher White Losing Wi-Fi at the start of the keynote is not cool, Oracle.

00:26 Christopher White Fujitsu speaker isn't that interesting right now, although the picture of Kobe beef made me hungry...

00:27 Christopher White Fujitsu is helping agriculture and fans make more food...I think.

00:27 Christopher White the Agricultural Cloud.

00:28 Christopher White putting sensors on plants to detect environmental

00:29 Christopher White the Agricultural Cloud can increase yield by up to 70 percent

00:30 Christopher White Orange juice at the Fujitsu booth!

00:31 Christopher White Wi-Fi seems to be back - hope Oracle can keep it going...

00:33 Christopher White Futjisu's healthcare cloud -- can predict whether you will have diabetes in the future. (not sure I need analytics to predict that...

)

00:34 Christopher White "It feels strange that a computer is telling me what disease I might get."

00:34 Christopher White "My first recommendation would be to reduce your alcohol consumption."

00:37 Christopher White All of the videos Fujitsu is showing are in Japanese. They must've used this presentation at a different conference.

00:41 Christopher White And the Wi-Fi is down again. Yay.

00:44 Christopher White Fujitsu creating new computer - taking technology from super computers

00:45 Christopher White well be highly scalable - using building block method. sounds similar to what Oracle does with exadata

00:45 Christopher White well use a hardware interconnect

00:47 Christopher White liquid loop cooling.

00:47 Christopher White And putting software on a chip...

00:47 Christopher White Andy mendelsohn from Oracle to talk more more.

00:49 Christopher White always want to minimize cpu. Oracle working with Fujitsu on project Athena to move database processing to the chip.

00:51 Christopher White back to the target full Fujitsu speaker..:-(

00:51 Christopher White We want Larry! We want Larry!

00:52 Christopher White make a new car, mine Twitter data to see what the overall world impression is.

00:53 Christopher White can find where negative comments are from and market better there. all using big data

00:53 Christopher White analytic prediction

00:54 Christopher White break down data based on many characteristics - education, salary, cell phone usage, etc.

00:54 Christopher White big data is just as scary as ever. :-)

00:56 Christopher White Athena will give us timely analysis -- real time instead of days to analyze big data.

00:58 Christopher White Exclusive arithmetic unit inside of Athena offloads the conversion to hardware.

00:59 Christopher White An update on the SPARC latform Collaboration between Oracle and Fujitsu cansbe seen at Moscone South Booth 1311 for those at OOW.

01:02 Christopher White Masami Yamamoto, president of Fujitsu... But can't be bothered to be here live, only did a video.

01:03 Christopher White Standard disclaimers that everything they talked about may or may not actually come true.

01:03 Christopher White Oracle video playing -- LOUDLY....

01:04 Christopher White And now - LARRY ELLISON!!!

01:05 Christopher White CEO of Oracle, for those who don't know ;)

01:05 Christopher White By this time next year, that SPARC multiprocessor will run Oracle faster than any other product - by using software functions into silicon.

01:06 Christopher White Cloud Computing -- Netsuite formed in '98, Salesforce formed in '99. A long time ago. The beginning of the cloud.

01:07 Christopher White Buy an Application (SaaS), a platform (Paas), or just infrastructure (IaaS)

01:08 Christopher White Giving kudos to Amazon's elastic cloud.

01:09 Christopher White Eight years after the early SaaS companies.

01:10 Christopher White Larry says, "Next slide," then catches himself and says, "I have a button to push for that, don't need someone to do it for me!"

01:12 Christopher White Cloud computing is a utility method, been with us forever (think: electric company)

01:13 Christopher White Larry is a character... Stopped presentation to get a drink of... water?

01:14 Christopher White Fusion middleware had to be built before they could build CRM.

01:14 Christopher White (or ERP)

01:14 Christopher White Oracle Cloud in 2011 - two tiers of cloud. SaaS and PaaS.

01:15 Christopher White Is Java really the #1 most popular programming language in the world...?

01:17 Christopher White Next up - IaaS

01:18 Christopher White Oracle is offering their OS, VM, Compute services, and storage service - exadata, exalogic, supercluster, exalytics, networked together with InfiniBand.

01:19 Christopher White Major supplier of OS, servers, and storage ever since buying SUn.

01:20 Christopher White Announcing the Oracle Private Cloud.

01:21 Christopher White Oracle owns it, manages it, upgrades it, you only pay a monthly fee and only for what you use.

01:23 Christopher White Interesting concept. I wonder if this can be used as a backup solution, for example - and only flip to it in a disaster (thus saving money over buying a second Exadata, for example)

01:23 Christopher White Just answered my question - can use Oracle Cloud for DR.

01:25 Christopher White Best in class Security*, Reliability *(Java excepted..

)

01:26 Christopher White Oracle 12c - first multitenant database in the world.

01:27 Christopher White Separate memory and processes allocated to each database.

01:30 Christopher White Oracle 12c has the concept of a "container database."

01:30 Christopher White You then plug multiple seperate private databases into that container.

01:33 Christopher White Oracle 11g vs 12c -- use much less hardware when we add customers/databases.

01:36 Christopher White Announcing Exadata X3 -- Database in-memory machine.

01:36 Christopher White "If you thought the old Exadata was fast, you aint seen nothing yet!"

01:36 Christopher White 26 TB of DRAM and Flash in one rack. 10x Database compression.

01:45 Christopher White 10-20x faster when upgrade from X2 to X3 -- sounds like a software upgrade, which is nice.

01:46 Christopher White EMC VMAX 40K is faster than any of the competition. How does it compare to Oracle...?

01:47 Christopher White 52GB/sec for EMC, 100GB/sec for a single Exadata rack - for high bandwidth applications.

01:47 Christopher White Make a full 8 racks -- 800GB/sec compared to 52GB/sec...

01:48 Christopher White One rack of Exadata is much cheaper than a maxed out 40K.

01:51 Christopher White Exadata X3-2 Eigth rack -- list price $200k.

01:54 Christopher White Does that mean a single node, no RAC? If so, lame.

01:54 Christopher White And that ends the keynote. I hope you enjoyed it, thanks for reading!
