As mentioned in my exablurb blog I am now working beyond the bounds of Oracle Engineered Systems to incorporate the Oracle Cloud Machine as introduced here. As such this blog will include postings that apply to both Exalogic and the Cloud Machine.
I'll start by quoting one of the PM's from the cloud machine to explain just what the cloud machine actually is:
"Oracle Cloud Machine is a cloud offering which gives you new choices for the Oracle Cloud Platform by bringing the Oracle Cloud to your data center. Leveraging our Public Cloud’s PaaS and IaaS capabilities, it enables the innovation that cloud provides, at the same time meeting the business and regulatory requirements behind your firewall. It provides a stepping-stone in the journey to cloud, as it allows you to get the advantages of cloud faster, easier and with less disruption. As an on- premises implementation of Oracle Cloud, Oracle Cloud Machine lets you run your applications seamlessly wherever you want, as workloads are completely portable between the public cloud and your data center. You can now leverage the latest innovations for rapid development that cloud provides, all while meeting any data sovereignty and residence requirements. It also provides subscription based pricing in your data center, managed by Oracle, with single vendor accountability."
Or to put it simply the cloud machine is a bunch of compute services that Oracle come along and install in your data center and then run it as a service such that you, as a customer, can consume IaaS and PaaS services without having to worry about building up the management infrastructure and on-going operational management of the platform.
