Unless Oracle is doing it for free, I see little reason to go with them
Totally guessing here but I imagine this is a super cheap deal for Zoom.
At first :)

It's free now, but it will cost you your soul.
Never buy Oracle.

#13Why? Is it because of cost? Perhaps nepotism? I don' see a reason why Amazon or Azure would be passed over in favour of Oracle. Why wasn't GCP a contender either? Something seems fishy... someone from Zoom care to chime in?
Maybe they are afraid that Amazon or Microsoft with their tradition of copying competition would pose a threat? Even then, Microsoft is already competing using Microsoft Teams and if Amazon wanted to it wouldn't be hard for them at all to come up with a product.

Probably doing it for free and throwing an endless supply of Tier 1 headcount at the 'problem'.

#16Is Oracle cloud any good?
Is it like the other providers where you can take a credit card and use?
Or do you need to give your soul to oracle?

#17In the article: > Zoom selected Oracle to expand its cloud, bypassing major industry leaders Amazon Web Services, Alphabet’s Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft’s Azure Cloud. I guess GCP isn't significant enough to be in the headline
... huh? "Alphabet’s Google Cloud Platform" is GCP.
It’s not in the submission title... that’s the point

Gcp is listed in the article but not the title. Strange title selection but they were considered.

#20Why the hell would any business get into bed with Oracle if there is any alternative to it? That sales team is merciless, and the money will be extracted to the point that the victim is half dead, once the hooks are in.
