Oracle’s hardware revenue decreased 10 percent to $904 million, and services revenue was dropped nine percent $813 million.
In a trio of canned statements, Oracle’s top brass touted the strength and momentum of Oracle platforms, with co-CEO Mark Hurd revealing that Oracle Fusion ERP now has 5,500 customers.
Meanwhile, Oracle found and CTO Larry Ellison used the financial results to highlight how Oracle’s Autonomous Database stacks up against the competition.
“Oracle’s Autonomous Database is faster, easier-to-use, more reliable, more secure and much lower cost than Amazon’s databases,” Ellison said. “And Oracle is the only database that can automatically patch itself while running to protect your data from data theft. These are just some of the reasons why Amazon uses the Oracle database to run its business.”
Oracle didn’t provide exact guidance for its current in Monday’s release. Analysts are looking for Q2 earnings of 79 cents a share on revenue of $9.84 billion.
