Cloud Computing with Sun/Oracle

One of the main advantages that the Sun/Oracle cloud computing invironment offers is a integration of componets from the ground up. This solid approach incorporates standard components that are easier to deploy and manage, coupled with better perforance and greater security, reliability, and lower cost of ownershop. Oracle/Sun propostion have the following advantages from a cleaner stack built from the ground up.
1.Application
2.Middleware
3.Database
4.Hardwarer
Sun/Oracles over all Cloud strategy ensures that cloud computing is fully enterprise grade that supports both public and priviate cloud computing. On top if this infrastructure invironment, includes the base model private cloud evolution starting with the Silo approach (Physical, Dedicated, Static and Heterogenous), the Grid (Virtual, Shared services, Dynamic, Standardized appliances) Private Cloud (Self-service, Policy based resource management, Changeback and Capacity planning) and finally Hybrid (Federation with public clouds, Ineroperability and Cloud bursting). One of the value-ads that Oracle brings is that Oracle offers all of their applications as a service.
With Sun, Oracle has a complete suite of storage, processing and networking hardware or a ‘Cloud in a Box’ when you bring in the very rich and capbably Oracle software (firmware,operating software, and virtualization optimization). This is a true ‘cloud in a box’ that no other cloud company can offers today.
Oracle had a distiinct advantage when they bought Sun. Sun Microsytems had a head start with cloud computing before Oracle bought them. Sun had bought a company called Q-layer that allowed them to build a virtual data center, Oracle liked that collobaortion betwee
Q-layer and Sun and added it direclty to their self service provsioning portal.
