Amazon EC2 Ramps Up Cloud Offerings With Oracle Apps

December 21, 2010 No Comments

Amazon has brought a fleet of major PeopleSoft and JD Edward applications to its Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) service, following a promise in September to do so. The new services are certified by Oracle.

EC2 allows users to rent Amazon’s computers on an hourly basis–either rent bare-bones configurations of an empty OS, or with additional software preinstalled (typically databases or Web servers).

Various renditions of the PeopleSoft customer relations management (CRM) programs are now available via EC2, along with JD Edward Enterprise One enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Also included in the rollout is Oracle’s E-Business Suite.
