Leyi,
Call me old fashioned if you want, but having worked in an
outsource shop I think doing something like this for anyone puts their
data at risk. Outsource or cloud provider shops are not the most stable
in terms of employee turnover and they have no idea of what is going out
the door with each employee, nor do they appear to care. Add to that
the decrease in cost for x86 Intel platforms and Linux and a entry level
shop would do well to have their own equipment with Oracle SE One or
Standard edition if they wanted. They might, though, find it more cost
effective to just install a Linux server with PostgreSql and call it
done. No long term commitments that are or could become overly
expensive.

Subject: How do you think about Oracle's EC2/S3?
Hi lists
I'm personally using Amazon EC2/S3 for testing, and I know Dropbox is
totally depend on Amazon S3, and Quora also use EC2 and S3 heavily.
So what do you guys think if Oracle can release a product/service
based on their Elastic Cloud Platform (for example Exalogic+Exadata) ?
If using this service, we customer will not need to pay for software
license anymore, just like how we using Amazon EC2/S3, we only need to
pay for the CPU/Mem/Storage we actually used.
Do you guys think this is an win-win idea for the Entry level/Midrange
enterprise customer and Oracle?
