For this sponsored Cloud Wars Live conversation, I spoke with
Steve Daheb, Senior Vice President, Oracle Cloud. He starts with
the Autonomous Database. Steve says quarter by quarter it’s
growing by 100% and thousands of customers are running on it. It
eliminates human error and it’s self-driving, self-securing, and
self-repairing.


Steve says with machine learning and other technologies, you
don’t need a room full of PhDs to figure it out. Oracle has done
the hard work for you so you can focus on what matters most for
your company.


He says it’s all about the perimeter and protecting the network.
But he says users are the new perimeter and 70% of breaches are
still happening internally to a company, and if that data isn’t
encrypted – which was the case with one financial institution –
you can lose a hundred million records because of internal
malpractice. Steve says these breaches wouldn’t have happened on
Oracle’s watch: they would have been self-patched.


He goes on to say Oracle’s adding a new data center every day. In
the last six months, it’s been Seoul, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Zurich,
Sydney and three DOD data center regions.


Steve talks about how Oracle Cloud’s ERP is used by some of the
biggest companies in the world – like Biogen, Cisco, MGM,
Walgreens, and Swiss Post. They are all companies that are using
Autonomous and Gen 2 together. He says it’s exciting to go into
2020 with this head of steam around Autonomous – and Steve
Miranda, who is executive vice president, applications
development – is leading the charge.
