Ellison Reveals Oracles Public Cloud; Calls Salesforce The Roach Motel Of Cloud Services

larry-ellison-openworld-2011-oracle-370x229Today, at Oracle's OpenWorld Conference in San Francisco, an animated Larry Ellison took to the stage to unveil an assortment of cloud computing services, which will run the company's long-time-in-coming (six years, in fact, Fusion Applications -- most notably the "Oracle Public Cloud". And, not one to miss an opportunity, Ellison made sure to take quite a few public jabs at Salesforce -- and vicariously, its CEO Marc Benioff -- whose keynote earlier in the day was cancelled due to "overwhelming attendance". Whatever that means. The cancellation created a hubbub and led to Benioff giving his own "off-campus" keynote at the St. Regis hotel across the street. (You can read our coverage of the Salesforce CEO's talk here.)
