Oracle has trumped its Autonomous Database concept by unveiling the world\u2019s first fully autonomous operating system, taking heavy aim at rivals Amazon and IBM in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dubbed Oracle Autonomous Linux, the new OS is available immediately and follows on the self-management and self-securing path as the database that the tech giant launched back in 2017 to great fanfare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur version of Linux, which we have been working on for almost 20 years, is now autonomous. It is the first and the only autonomous OS in the world. And it\u2019s live,\u201d Ellison told delegates during his opening keynote at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>It\u2019s a highly available system designed for the cloud.\u00a0<\/span>It patches itself while it\u2019s running. You discover a vulnerability we fix it. There\u2019s no downtime, no delay. We fix it while it\u2019s running.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt drives itself. There\u2019s nothing to do because it drives itself. It does all of this stuff automatically. You can concentrate on building systems that are related to your biz rather than worrying about the underlying plumbing.\u00a0<\/span>When you use Oracle autonomous OS in the cloud, the price is just right. It\u2019s free. So, if you\u2019re paying IBM, you can stop!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea behind both the autonomous database and OS is to eliminate the room for human error and, in doing so, make organisations\u2019 large-scale cloud environments far more secure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAutonomous systems eliminate human labour. And, when you eliminate human error, you eliminator pilot error. If you eliminate pilot error on a database, you eliminate data theft. And that \u2013 as far as I know \u2013 is the only way you can ever eliminate data theft,\u201d Ellison added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Citing the Capital One data breach, Ellison alluded to the fact it wouldn\u2019t have been possible using its technologies, saying: \u201cWith Oracle Autonomous Database, it\u2019s not possible for customers to configure \u2013 there are no pilots to make errors.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIn AWS\u2019 cloud if you make an error and it leaves a catastrophic data loss that\u2019s on you… With Oracle Autonomous Database, the system is responsible for preventing data loss, not you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201dPut your data in an autonomous system. There\u2019s no human labour, no human error, no data loss. That\u2019s a big difference between us and AWS.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Oracle\u2019s latest move will resonate with organisations looking to solve their OpEx challenges, according to Al Gilles, group vice president of software development and open source at analyst firm IDC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis capability effectively turns Oracle Linux into a service, freeing customers to focus their IT resources on application and user experience, where they can deliver true competitive differentiation,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
