I was able to attend the Oracle’s Open World user conference this week in sunny and warm San Francisco.  This year was a special year.  It was the public unveiling of Oracle’s suite of enterprise mobility solutions – both on-premise and cloud.  In this interview with Oracle’s VP Mobility and Development Tools, Chris Tonas, we discuss how these tools and platforms will be used to mobilize all of Oracle’s solutions and for use by their customers to mobilize their bespoke apps.

[Apologies]: I have a new microphone that does not require me to yell into, however, it takes me a few videos to realize it…

The Transparent Cloud-computing Consortium (abbreviation: T-Cloud Consortium) will conduct research activities into changes in the computing model as a result of collaboration between «device» and «cloud» and the creation of new value and markets through organic data processing High speed and high quality networks, and dramatic improvements in computer processing capabilities, have greatly changed the nature of applications and made the storing and processing of data on the network commonplace.

These technological reforms have not only changed computers and smartphones, but are also changing the data processing model for all information devices. In particular, in the area known as M2M (Machine-To-Machine), there are great expectations that information with a new type of value can be produced using a variety of devices and sensors saving/sharing data via the network and through large-scale cloud-type data processing.

This consortium believes that attaching a huge number of devices to the network and storing/processing data transparently on the cloud can lead to the birth of new computing models and businesses. We have defined 3 areas in which to form these new markets as device applications, big data analysis and platforms, and aim to investigate the technical development and business potential in each field and contribute to the creation of next-generation device-centric markets.
