Bangalore: Is Oracle on the path of becoming the Apple of enterprises? With its revelation of a revolutionary cloud along with the encouragement given to customers to use its software on Oracle engineered systems, it seems the former statement is true.

At the Oracle OpenWorld show, the database giant used everything they had just to disclose one thing- a brand new cloud for enterprises. Oracle is on the verge of manufacturing and supplying almost every hardware and software component that an enterprise need.

"We have service where we can patch the entire thing from the database all the way to the firmware in the controllers," John Fowler, Oracle's executive vice president of systems, said at the keynote speech.

The company is now clearly way ahead of its rivals and it seems that it considers Apple as their closest rival, in terms of creating a private system.

The recent approach of the company shares many similarities with Apple. Apple designs its own hardware, writes the OS which its systems use, and, via the App store, controls a widespread developer ecosystem. Similarly, Oracle is aiming to sell their customers with the hardware to perform computing and storage, the software to run jobs and a group of cloud services which they can store their data in and use to update their software.

This advancement is the same as Apple and it seems Oracle is trying to build a developer ecosystem of its own.
