LoLoL !! OCI just crossed $1B ARR organic run rate (not including OCI-C and other things) at the end of 2020. Quite a bit lower than all of its key competitors.
OCI is nowhere near profitable, and it is doomed to failure in the marketplace.
The Ax-Man cometh …. Of this I am quite sure.
Yep, Cloud Wars is a pay-for-play rag run by the former chief communications officer/SVP at Oracle and before that SAP.
Absolutely NOT credible. Oracle pays CloudWars about $50K a year on a contract. They then write articles about Oracle based on what the PR team wants them to.
The Gartner and Forrester quadrants that put OCI as a lower left “niche player” rating (the laggards with zero market impact and little presence) are based on actually knowledge and objective and comparative evaluations of the providers. There is no pay for play with these reports. Unlike Cloud Wars, Gartner and Forrester have integrity and objectivity, and customers trust what they say.
Only the most intelligent can see the cloth!
LOL
revenue is the lowest

For instance, if you do a quick search on Gartner magic quadrant for say, "cloud infrastructure", you'll see that Oracle is actually in the losers quadrant (the lower left).
Look on the bright side. They beat IBM.
If you take OCI-C revenue or SaaS revenue out of cloud revenue, the actual OCI revenue would be around $1B per anum. The OCI migrate OCI-C customers and adding their revenue to OCI revenue. I heard still the "lift and shift" sh– operation is struggling. And OCI standalone numbers wooudn't have positive cash flows.
The shameless OCI management has kicked away quality OCI-C engineers for bad reasons.
Gee, I guess it's too bad then that actual customers don't give a hoot what that rag says and go to Forrester and Gartner instead.

Oracle shout about the cw rag all they want. meanwhile, customers are looking to Gartner and Forrester. TFB for Oracle
Cloud Wars = paid shill

Wow. How unimpressive. Estimated. When you are the laggard any growth seems like a lot. Growing at less then 25% the rate of leaders.
