You must be thinking I am joking, when I say that there is an affinity between me and San Francisco Moscone center. Yes, August end, I was there for VMworld 2013 and September end I was back there again for Oracle Open world (OOW 2013). But there is more to my experiences at OOW this year, than this coincidence of venue.

There are two key takeaways for me from OOW. First, the news of the world record established by Cisco UCS on Oracle E-Business Suite Applications R12 benchmark. EMC CEO Joe Tucci highlighted this in his keynote as well at OOW.  Read the detailed solutions brief posted by Girish Kulkarni.

Second, Cisco UCS is the only Oracle partner platform tested and certified with Oracle NoSQLDB. Read BigData solutions brief posted in www.cisco.com/go/bigdata and Charles Lamb’s blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/charlesLamb/entry/cisco_and_oracle_nosql_database

At OOW, I had a busy week doing demos of Oracle on UCS, and enjoyed quality face time with customers and partners sharing their UCS experiences with me. Along these lines, I was able to grab some time with Jim McHugh (our VP of marketing for UCS) to specifically discuss Cisco UCS advantages for Oracle. Watch the Video here
