Tech corporation Oracle pushes for a bigger slice of the cloud

Sweetening the pot
There are a long list of incentives for companies to move their operations to the cloud. For example, reducing infrastructure through outsourcing will cut maintenance costs and storing files in the cloud will make it easier for workers using remote console servers to access their daily files. Oracle has upped the ante with the debut of its new cloud-as-a-service by offering a bevy of features that are designed to charm developers and encourage adoption of the company's new services.
For instance, Oracle has already promised that the new service is backwards compatible with current existing equipment. This move is designed to help Oracle re-establish relationships with existing enterprise software customers and transition them smoothly onto Oracle's newest SaaS system. For clients invested in big data analytics, Oracle will also be capable of running SQL queries against Hadoop clusters. The cloud service will even include a tool that automatically converts code scripts into mobile device ready formats. With these extra perks, Oracle hopes to separate itself from the rest of the pack.
