SAP "hardened" Oracle

New year, SAP and Oracle [microblogging] (Oracle) competition will be more intense. At the SAP global technology Conference on December 5,car dvr SAP announced SAP Business One solutions based on HANA database. Although SAP says "give customers the flexibility to choose", but has "access" areas of Oracle database.

"Whether it is the accumulation of large amounts of business data, is the rapid increase of personnel, growth companies don't have to worry about beyond the capabilities of SAP solution, for frequent and expensive system of migration. "SAP Business One product, considered by many people in the industry," alluding to "Oracle.

It is clear that Oracle has long prepared. In October at the Oracle Open World this year, Oracle CEO and co-founder Larry Ellison at Oracle on Oracle's latest database product 12C, also named mocked SAP HANA memory database is a "really small" products.

In 1991, the SAP from Germany starting to enter the Chinese market. This year,vehicle dvr Oracle came to China for 2 years, but it only does the database, is not involved in enterprise application software. In fact, SAP and Oracle have a long-term relationship; until now, many large SAP ERP system running on Oracle databases.

"HANA shipments after 15 months, the company has approximately 500 HANA customers. "As far as SAP executives.

Areas of SAP into the database, Oracle Pavilion an official is optimistic: would you choose has a stable reputation of professional database, or there is no advantage in ERP database? In his view, "SAP (solutions) could not fully packaged into HANA version, which is not recognized and accepted by the market. ”

"If SAP customer resources such as PetroChina, Sinopec, but a lot of surface area than the SAP Enterprise (share), they can not be SAP-bound. "He told reporters, according to Oracle's statistics, about 50% SAP customers, in conjunction with the select binding Oracle database when, while in China, a number that is higher than the global average level packages bound on the price into the system, Oracle 20%~22%, Oracle database version upgrades, this ratio will be improved.

According to the official statement, "poor SAP customers not database this money"; for quite some time, many SAP ERP customers will rely on Oracle databases.

It is clear that SAP is like "this money." SAP HANA was launched two years ago, SAP HANA defined forvehicle dvr data calculation engine. Last time, it is actively plotting to make memory computing technology and its application software product integration.

"Software name of the SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), meant an enterprise resource management, the database is at the service of enterprises management. "SAP China Research Institute President Sun Xiaoqun told the business journal, Business One is SAP development of core solutions for SMEs,

She admitted that, at present, SAP solutions, many bound and Oracle together. However, SAP customers flexible options: you can choose traditional Oracle database, you can also select the SAP HANA memory database instead of a traditional database.

Coincidentally, the two giants have increased competition in China "weights". In November last year, SAP founder Hasso announced in Beijing by 2015, SAP China invested more than US $ 2 billion in July this year, Oracle's CEO Mark Hurd's trip to Shanghai, bringing "growth plans in China": Oracle business branches cover all of China's provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

SAP is also making greater capital movements – was listed in Shanghai Stock Exchange in China. Issues on whether SAP plans to list in China, Sun Xiaoqun told reporters: we have the will, but needs to wait until after China sector specific policies clearly, further consideration.

"International Board" still needs time to wait. But China has become an SAP business one of the fastest-growing market. SAP's third-quarter earnings car dvr showed that China has become the world's sixth-largest market, software revenue growth amounted to 43%, while China and the good performance of the American market, enough to offset the new software in Europe, the Middle East and Africa revenue fell.

Cloud base is taking shape now Tian Su Ning said the software industry can take cloud computing to turn

    
"On December 13, we will work with Sequoia Capital, longfor North Aurora Venture capital, VC of themobile dvr jinsha River, set up a US $ 10 million into the making investment fund, used for investment in cloud computing. "On December 11, in an interview with this reporter in an interview, Tian, Chairman of broadband capital said.

After the band has spent 900 million yuan of capital has invested in more than 20

Cloud computing companies, including Super cloud cloud computing servers, cloud computing operating system of friends of friends of Evernote, cloud storage, cloud software trends, friends of friends, such as which days have settled in Beijing, cloud base.

"Now it is good timing, geographical convenience of cloud computing, car dvr and a good time. "Tian said that the time of high tide, each of the traditional software business has change, access to new opportunities.

Cloud base of industry chain

According to Tian, at present, cloud base in Beijing yizhuang cloud base and cloud bases Zhongguancun. Which also is a server-oriented, application-oriented cloud bases Zhongguancun, set up a large laboratory, platform and data algorithms laboratory. In the middle of this year, the cloud base and cloud base was also set up in Yangpu district of Shanghai Municipal Government Division.

According to the relevant staff of the cloud base, at present, cloud bases in Beijing and more than more than 10 cloud computing-related businesses, some companies had started to grow.

"After 2 to 3 years, you can see the effect of cloud base grows significantly after. "Tian said, every business is growing very fast. For example, in 2012, of Super cloud server sales reach 140 million, an increase of 6 times. Cloud cloud platform company days growth quickly.

It is understood that the cloud base "Fund + base + industrial group" mode. Currently, broadband capital owns 3 funds, including 2 amounting to US $ 700 million dollar fund, third was 2 billion yuan of renminbi funds.

"Cloud bases should act as incubation, investment, service, outreach, and management 5 features, so as to form a good ecological environment. "Tian told reporters that the cloud base 2 years running, it should also have been exploring the role played.

In the cloud World Conference, the official exhibition a Hadoop-based framework of the cloud base, blade hardware and software equipment, which has aroused keen interest of the participants. Before, IBM, Oracle, SAP began to do vertical integration, have launched a software hard machine.

"In the future, in the face of massive amounts of data storage, cloud computing hardware and software must go in one mode. "Tian believe that transformation of existing ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems, BOSS systems (business operating support system) is too difficult, rather than creating a new calculation, operation mode. Hardware and software all in one computer came into being. In future, personal storage, enterprise storage can be integrated into larger data machine, can be specifically calculated for the mobile Internet, cloud applications, such as the Internet to.

"In 2013, we will have three or four-one out. "Tian says, these machine Exdata one much cheaper than Oracle, more suitable for Chinese enterprise users.

At present, one also faces challenges from allvehicle dvr sides, this is a world-class project. Tian believes that, first of all, one machine is mainly used for large customers, and customers will be accepted also need to consider what course. Secondly, one is not the core of made, difficulty of hardware, system software, application software, how to cope with it better, in his view, is needed by industry. Series one is non-structural data (data) the hardware. Third, when computing power to a certain extent, thermal, data classification is a very big issue.

China software to turn opportunity

"The opportunities presented by cloud computing to the software industry is tremendous. "Has been in the United States in Silicon Valley, China close back and forth exchanges, such as trend micro founder and Chairman Steve Chang saw an opportunity, and investment was founded together with the Tian Tian Yun trend, mainly open source architecture cloud operating system.

Zhang Mingzheng believes that traditional software product companies, model no longer required to provide customers with software products, do not need "a one hole per carrot" to provide service, but based on PaaS (platform as a service) and SaaS (software as a service) platform to provide services. Software for service providers, the opportunities offered by cloud computing is the ability to give users a scalable application.

Currently, trend micro also began a comprehensive shift to cloud security, PC patched mode is already difficult to fight the disease in the era of attack, and cloud computing architecture allows the client to be simple, complete work that requires complex processing to the cloud.

"This day and age to have two points: one is the market, China's market is already big enough; the second is imagination, software companies do not because of the past 30 years, China is subject to foreign software and does not dare to attempt to do something ground-breaking. "Tian said, China software industry needs see 3 a changes: a is cloud computing let commercial mode occurred changes, past such as UFIDA, and yaxin of mode certainly go does not down, and to go SaaS, and PaaS, and IaaS (based schema that service), mode; II is open source campaign makes whole software industry of ecological system in changes, China of software enterprise must quickly joined to open source of wave among, become open source software of contribution who; three is in system software area, to bold to to tries to.

In the traditional mode, Chinese software on system software company, was unable to catch up with companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP. But cloud computing era is an era of change, of which there are many opportunities.

Tian introduced desktop cloud system in the cloud era is VDI (virtual desktop framework) writes to the system software, this software is to compete with Citrix, VMware, etc. System software software port is connected with the cloud. After 1.5 years of promotion, the cloud era had already received some orders.

In an interview with this reporter an exclusive interview, Chang Ming-Chia Tai praise open source: "open source is the opportunity to turn around China's software industry. "In his view, knowledge of open source means having to pay patent fees, which can end the era of Wintel traditional software, which each enterprise, can save large sums of expenditure. Also, the source schema is extensible, a distributed system software on more than one CPU, computing resources, such as storage management, people who have a large number of scattered distribution of physical computing resources, in the form of a logical dimension as a whole, "concentration" to deal with "big" problem.

"I hope to have the opportunity to participate in open source software. "Tian admitted mobile dvr recently has seen itself open source software industry brings opportunities to China. "In the future, Chinese software can become contributors to open source software, cloud computing can be obtained by the process of discovery experiences contribute. ”
