The plan has been discussed for several months. Now, the steps being taken have been posted on the NetSuite website by Brian Chess, GVP Cloud Operations, Oracle NetSuite, who also promoted three sessions at OracleWorld this week about the Oracle Cloud (without mentioning SuiteConenct). “It blends all of the advantages of the public cloud with the control and predictability of on-premise infrastructure to deliver high performance and high availability,” Chess wrote. You get the feeling the NetSuite name will linger as a product platform but the business unit may be subsumed by the parent in the way Microsoft Business Solutions, the home of Dynamics, was taken into the larger parent (which many of us believe has not always been helpful.) Chess said customers in London, England, and Frankfurt, Germany. NetSuite will got live in 18 Oracle datacenters in the United States, EMEA and JAPAC in the next 18 months with 100 percent of new customers in Europe on the Oracle Cloud by next spring with two U.S. regions available next spring. Chess touted the migration as providing a path to the Oracle Autonomous Database while NetSuite will turn over support and services for upgrades to customers. Chess also pitched the transfer as increasing availability, scalability and expandability, along with security and greater intelligence through. including AI-based applications, machine integrated -integrated security, and automated analytics.
