Oracle clouds never go down, says Oracle's Larry Ellison
Oracle execs are all smiles following a stellar showing for their cloud operations in the latest full quarter, and Larry Ellison is obviously feeling a little dizzy, telling the world – or anyone who would listen – that Big Red's cloud never fails.

Oracle is a likely influence to Dilbert cartoons. If your government had an epic accounting or payroll fail that lasted for months or years and hundreds of millions over budget, you can bet Oracle was involved.
