Oracle’s CEO hates the word “cloud computing”

Larry Ellion, CEO of Oracle Corporation is extremely allergic to the word “Cloud Computing”. However, unlike techcrunchit, we do not think he is hates “cloud computing”, but he hates the way that word is being used. He is NOT against cloud computing. According to him, we have been using cloud computing’s apps in the past too, but the difference was that those apps did not carry the tag “cloud apps” with them.

I feel that cloud computing is great until the network goes down. Reason behind it is that sync does not work when the network goes down. Also, cloud computing can never work for mission critical apps or apps that require 100% uptime or access to your data.

That said, lets face it: Oracle serves the back-end of the cloud computing for many websites. So, Oracle makes money out of it even though Larry openly admits that he hates cloud computing.
