No one buys Oracle cloud because it has no infrastructure to back it.

The judge backed the Pentagon's decision to rule out Oracle. Oracle lost the cloud war for the Jedi contract for one simple reason.

the Defense Department had the legal right to rule out Oracle on the grounds that it lacked a sufficiently large and dispersed system of data centers to remain operational during a catastrophe.

I guess you can't fake a cloud infrastructure after all. Lets see the percentage of revenue invested in cloud infrastructure by companies that claim to have a cloud. Lets see how Oracle stacks up.

AWS 33%, Microsoft 16%, Google -8%, IBM-6%, Alibaba 5%, Oracle 3%

Looks like Oracle is stingy on its infrastructure investment. Gee whiz looks like no one wants to buy a cloud that sits in a few rented data centers. Who knew? It cost Oracle the JEDI contract. Wonder... how many other contracts has Oracle lost because of its pathetic infrastructure?

Key take away, you can't win the cloud war with out IAAS.

Nobody buys oracle cloud because there is no oracle cloud - not complicated

And therefore fake cloud revenues

One might say.. "fake Cloud"

Great post; whoever owns the cloud infrastructure wins the cloud. And it is certainly not Oracle.

Or maybe the million of dollars LE have to Florida Senator liddle Marco? Surely that must count for something otherwise it’s just wasted money, right

Yeah, but Oracle built that awesome school on Oracle's campus...that must count for something with the DoD? Or that neat new Austin campus? That counts for something, right? Or maybe their awesome startup program? When it comes to spending money where it matters, Oracle falls short and you can't get too angry with the DoD for being observant.
