Oracle understand how important cloud computing is for the future, which is why they have announced their new Oracle Exalogic, which is described as a “cloud-in-a-box system.” The new system is for enterprise users, which will offer them a “self-contained system.”

According to Darryl K. Taft from eWeek, the Oracle chairman and CEO announced this product during his keynote during the Oracle OpenWorld 2010 on Sunday September 19th.

Those who attended would have noticed how sleek the design of the box looked with its Sun and Oracle logos, which uses 30 servers with 360 cores. This means that there is more than enough storage capacity and speed for your enterprise needs.

It is no secret that cloud is considered the next step in computing storage. We have all heard the rumors that Apple is working on cloud storage for iTunes, but we have yet to learn when they will release this much-anticipated service. Do you welcome cloud storage?

Back in September we heard that the European Union were investigating Oracle’s proposed takeover of Sun Microsystems, we have now heard that the EU have granted Oracle ‘unconditional approval’.

Currently Oracle are the world’s No. 2 business software maker and are looking to impact the hardware market, as Sun are currently the top player in the high-end computer-server market the takeover will be huge for Oracle.

The deal itself is said to be worth $7 billion, an EU Competition Commissioner released this statement “Oracle’s acquisition of Sun has the potential to revitalise important assets and create new and innovative products.”
