According to the first indiscretions could affect the partnership announced the Oracle 12C data, which would become operational in the Microsoft cloud infrastructure.

In fact, Oracle has indicated his side he will announce next week a series of partnerships, including Salesforce.com, NetSuite and .. Microsoft. If the first two are somewhat surprising in that Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, is a longtime investor in the first two companies listed, the agreement with Microsoft is more unlikely because Microsoft has its own solution  DBMS with SQL Server. However, the integration of Oracle 12C in the Microsoft cloud infrastructure would be the willingness of Microsoft to open as widely as possible to external solutions. Without revealing too many details, Larry Ellison said last week that "signatory companies will engage on Oracle technology for to coming years and these partnerships will reorganize the cloud."
