Boss to stay as Oracle sets out next-gen data plan

[Nick]

Oracle Thailand has asked its exiting boss to extend his role as Managing Director, while the former Sun Microsystems team is ready to offer complete solutions for next-generation data centres.

The sources, who asked not to be named, said Oracle Corporation (Thailand) is preparing to formally announce that Natasak Rodjanapiches is to continue as Managing Director indefinitely.

He had decided to leave the company by the end of May after working with Oracle for the past 13 years.

After the long process of attempting to replace him, the company decided to ask Natasak to continue.

Meanwhile, Oracle is ready to roll out its local activities to show its product roadmap strategy after acquiring Sun Microsystems.

Andrew Lim, Senior Director, Oracle Asean, said the former Sun Microsystems server team has already moved to work with this unit in the Oracle Office.

Oracle has also rolled out the Next-Generation Data Center road show in Asean, including Thailand, to outline the Oracle + Sun product strategy and demonstrate how it can enable highly efficient data centres.

Oracle offers a complete portfolio of Sun Products that combines servers, storage, software and networking to deliver performance-optimised solutions for the data centre.

The end-to-end complete solution from application to disk can help customers reduce costs and simplify management, while boosting performance, by using consolidation and virtualisation, cloud deployment and integrated systems management.

Moreover, customers still benefit from its open and standard based, shorter deployment times, lower total cost of ownership and reduced management change risk.

"Our global level has announced a commitment to research and development of $4.3 billion [137 billion baht], including the Solaris Operating System and SPARC processor," said Lim.

"We are the only vendor to provide application, middleware, database, operating system, virtual machine, server and storage that is tested and certified together but does not lock the customer in with Oracle because of its open system."

He continued that Internal Oracle IT has implemented over 2,600 servers with over 6,000 virtual servers used by more than 3,500 developers. It can reduce server and applications deployment by 80 percent and reduce the physical server environment by 75 percent.

In Thailand, Lim sees enterprises are still interested in cutting costs by consolidation, virtualisation, managing and optimising data centres, especially in banking, government and telecom sectors.
