AWS joins Microsoft, Google Cloud in offering Oracle database
LAS VEGAS — Enterprises will soon have the option of running Oracle Databases on the three leading cloud providers.
On Monday, Oracle launched the Oracle Database on AWS at the Oracle CloudWorld conference. The new Oracle Database@AWS offering allows customers to access Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure and Oracle Exadata Database Service within AWS.
The AWS offering follows a similar deal Oracle made with Google Cloud in June and with Microsoft Azure last September.
The cloud providers’ willingness to offer Oracle Database indicates that they haven’t succeeded in replicating its on-premises performance and feature set without using Oracle hardware and software, IDC analyst Dave McCarthy said. The latest offerings also point to solid loyalty among Oracle Database customers.
“Now [that] they have a choice of all the major clouds, I suspect this will unlock a new wave of cloud migrations from on-premises Oracle environments,” McCarthy said.
The core Oracle services on the three cloud providers are essentially the same. They include Autonomous Database, the Exadata Database Service and the Real Application Clusters (RAC). The products are part of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Autonomous Database automates routine database maintenance tasks, including patching, upgrades and tuning. Exadata provides security and numerous features for high-performance analytics, AI and transaction processing. RAC allows a single Oracle Database to run across multiple servers.
Autonomous Database and Exadata run on Database 23ai, a database management system that integrates AI capabilities. The features include AI Vector Search, in-database machine learning and support for AI models. The capabilities let organizations leverage AI for data processing and analytics without moving the data.
“Oracle’s strategy, in general, is to try not to move data around a lot,” Leo Leung, vice president of OCI product marketing, said. To reduce costs and security risks, Oracle prefers to “just keep it all in the same place and then expose it to different types of use cases and capabilities.”
The cloud providers will offer their AI services alongside the Oracle Database, the companies said. For example, enterprises can use AWS Bedrock or Google’s Vertex AI to train, deploy and manage AI applications.
The Oracle Database@Google Cloud is initially available in four Google regions, two in the United States and two in Europe. Oracle plans to roll out the service gradually in other areas. AWS plans to make the Oracle Database@AWS service available in preview this year, with broader availability scheduled for next year.
The initial offering on AWS lacks some features available on Azure and Google Cloud, said Rob Strechay, an analyst at TheCube Research. For example, AWS does not include the Exadata Exascale data architecture for high-performing AI applications and the low-latency, high-throughput private interconnect between OCI and the cloud provider. “It will have some limitations out of the gate,” Strechay said. “[But] we expect that to change.”
Despite the latest database deals, Oracle Cloud remains in catch-up mode with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud in deploying and running generative AI applications, analysts said. However, OCI has had success in attracting startups seeking Nvidia GPU clusters for running AI applications.
“A startup will be OK with saying, ‘I use Oracle just for their GPUs,’” McCarthy said. “An enterprise is going to want more than that.”
Oracle is trying to close the gap with OCI Generative AI. OCI GenAI is a fully managed service on Oracle Cloud that provides large language models for various use cases, including chat, text generation, summarization, and text embeddings. Customers can use pre-trained models or host their fine-tuned custom models on dedicated AI clusters. The service lets customers integrate LLMs into a wide range of applications.

Terminator Zero

Netflix
How many times can Judgment Day arrive and/or be averted before it loses all meaning? That question has plagued every instalment in the Terminator franchise later than James Cameron’s brilliant first two movies. It is something that the new Netflix animated series Terminator Zero attempts to address – perhaps in order to justify its own existence.
Cameron has no involvement in Terminator Zero, which was created and written by Mattson Tomlin and animated by Japanese studio Production I.G.…

Constellation Energy to restart Three Mile Island and sell the power to Microsoft

Constellation Energy plans to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant and will sell the power to Microsoft, the companies announced on Friday.
Constellation expects the Unit 1 reactor at Three Mile Island to come back online in 2028, subject to approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Unit 1 ceased operations in 2019 because it could not compete economically. It is separate from the reactor that partially melted down in 1979 in the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history.
Microsoft will purchase electricity from the plant to match the energy its data centers consume with carbon-free power. Constellation described the agreement with Microsoft as the largest power purchase agreement that the nuclear plant operator has ever signed.
Constellation stock jumped nearly 7% in early trading.
This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.
It’s been seven years since Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson) outsmarted Nicholas “Big Nick” O’Brien (Gerard Butler) and escaped to London in Den of Thieves. Seven years later, the former enemies are teaming up for the ultimate heist in the sequel, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.
“No one gets over on me,” Big Nick says as he recalls how Donnie pulled off robbing the Federal Reserve. Big Nick tracks Donnie down to his house and makes a surprise visit. Donnie pulls a gun out at the dinner table, but Big Nick quickly disarms his foe. To Donnie’s surprise, Big Nick is not here to arrest him. In Big Nick’s words, he’s “broke and sick of being the hunter.” His proposal: join Donnie on his next heist, robbing the World Diamond Center.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’s cast features Michael Bisping, Salvatore Esposito, Orli Shuka, Evin Ahmad, Cristian Solimeno, and Nazmiye Oral.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is written and directed by Christian Gudegast, the filmmaker behind Den of Thieves. Released in 2018, Den of Thieves was a modest hit, grossing $80 million on a $30 million budget. It has since developed a cult following on cable and streaming. Gudegast also wrote London Has Fallen, with Butler reprising his role as Mike Banning.
Pantera’s producers include Butler, Tucker Tooley, Alan Siegel, and Mark Canton.
Butler continues to build a strong resume as Hollywood’s biggest B-movie action star. Butler has headlined three films in the Has Fallen franchise since 2013. Butler’s recent action films include Plane, Kandahar, Last Seen Alive, Copshop, and Greenland.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera opens in theaters on January 10, 2025.
Samsung has just indirectly revealed the Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 series launch date. Samsung Vietnam posted a video via its YouTube channel, and it’s actually quite revealing.
The Galaxy S24 FE & Tab S10 launch date has seemingly been revealed by Samsung
In that video, a September 20 event is mentioned, apparently something that is happening in Vietnam. In addition to that, however, September 26 is also mentioned, and a new smartphone teased too.
Now, the device that is being teased has flat sides, which are made out of metal, and a flat display. A small part of it that we can see here does fit the Galaxy S24 FE’s design that we exclusively leaked.
We can assume that this is a confirmation of a press event, which is expected in 6 days. It’s a bit odd that Samsung didn’t openly confirm it just yet, however, as it’s happening less than a week from now.
The devices will seemingly become available on September 26 in Vietnam
This video also reveals that the mysterious smartphone will go on sale on September 26 at 10 PM in Vietnam. That translates to 5 PM CET / 11 AM EST / 8 AM PST.
It is worth noting that Samsung has already started taking blind pre-registrations for the Galaxy Tab S10 series in India. So, everything is pointing to a launch event next week, and this video basically confirmed it.
We’ve exclusively plenty of details regarding the Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy Tab S10+, and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the three devices that are coming. You can check out plenty of images of all three devices, not to mention some additional information, such as their specifications.
The Galaxy S24 FE will have flat sides this time around, but other than that will look very similar to its predecessor. The ‘Ultra’ tablet will have a notch on the display and thinner bezels than the Galaxy Tab S10+. The Galaxy Tab S10 is nowhere to be found at this point, and may not launch at all, we’ll see.
