This week when Oracle rolled out what it described as an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering, it got a lot of tongues wagging among cloud computing purists. The new offering that Oracle identified as being IaaS consists of a set of servers and appliances, including an Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle SPARC SuperCluster, Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine and an Oracle Sun ZFS Storage Appliance that IT organizations can opt to deploy on premise to have additional capacity available on demand.
Technically, that capacity on demand could be made available as an extension of a private cloud. Given the fact that Oracle see that capacity as infrastructure that it is making available as part of a service, Oracle applied the IaaS moniker.

Change|BJP President BJP President Nitin Gadkari, who was asked by the Income Tax department to appear before it today in connection with the probe into alleged dubious investments in Purti group of companies, has sought more time to present his case.
Citing his preoccupation with party work as the reason for his inability to appear before the tax authorities, he sought fresh time, official sources said.
They said he has now been asked to appear on February one.
The sources said that two authorised representatives of Gadkari met I-T officials here and submitted a 25-page document in reply to department's question regarding his personal transactions and investments related to the Purti group of companies and few others.
Gadkari was not immediately available for comment while the BJP declined to give any reaction. Gadkari has denied allegations of any wrongdoing and said that he has resigned from the Purti Group sometime back.
The I-T department had earlier issued summons for appearance to Gadkari in the second half of this month as the taxman was probing alleged tax evasion case against him and his group of companies.
Gadkari has been asked for his personal appearance so that he can be confronted with the documents and probe conducted by the I-T in this regard in the last few months.
The department has been probing various firms that invested in Gadkari's company Purti Power and Sugar Limited (PPSL).
The department, according to sources, has allegedly found the details of almost 30 companies that have been "in transactions" with PPSL.
Biggest Aviation Scam Ever
Kingfisher Ex-Pilots send notice to Dr Vijay Mallaya
over unpaid dues, Charged with Cheating for Non-Payment of Salaries.
Former Kingfisher Airlines Pilots have sent a legal notice to the management seeking compensation for mental harassment and salary dues,
Sources say the management has been given a period of 21 days to comply with the notice.
The management received the notice on January 18, in which it has been charged with cheating for non-payment of salaries. Sources say the notice has been sent to the top brass of the Airlines including Chairman Dr Vijay Mallya and CEO Sanjay Aggarwal.
The legal notice essentially asks Kingfisher to comply with the pilots demand to pay their salaries. They also want compensation for mental harassment and agony that they have gone through with the management of Kingfisher.
Sources added that Kingfisher engineers are also working on a similar legal notice and will send it later this week.
Clearly, trouble for Kingfisher has been compounding. The debt-ridden airline was also served a warrant in Hyderabad for a cheque bounce row, however, it got resolved after the case was withdrawn. This time it seems the employees are hell-bent and very determined to take the management to court.
Kingfisher Airlines Ltd , promoted by Dr Vijay Mallya,should infuse Rs 2,000 Crore for Revival with 7 Aircrafts and 7000 Staff
Kingfisher Airlines should infuse at least Rs 2,000 crore as capital for reviving the carrier, State Bank of India BSE Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri said today.
Kingfisher Airlines, promoted by Dr Vijay Mallya, owes Rs 7,500 crore to a consortium of 17 banks led by SBI.
"The company has to bring capital of Rs 2,000 crore minimum, then there can be some possibility (for revival)...if the company doesn't want to fly, what can the banks do?" Chaudhuri told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
Referring to the repeated rounds of inconclusive dialogue between the lenders and the company, the last round of which took place at the SBI office yesterday, he said, "talks are on, (but) still there is no progress."
"The solution has to come from the company. If we realise assets, whatever hopes are there, that will be gone," he added.
Bankers, who are holding on to the collateral which do not meet their individual exposure, have been eyeing infusion of funds into the airline from the promoter in the wake of USD 2.1 billion or Rs 11,000 crore deal Mallya stuck by selling his holding in USL to Britain's Diageo.
However, Dr Mallya has maintained that the USL deal would not necessarily help the Airline.
In an earlier meeting on December 17, the airline had reportedly told the lenders that promoters would bring in Rs 425 crore as part of the revival plan.
Kingfisher Airlines, which has never reported profit, has remained grounded since October 1 last year, following a staff strike over salaries and suspension of flying license.
Meanwhile, on the government's plan to infuse Rs 3,000 crore into SBI to boost its capital base, Chaudhuri said even without the infusion committed by the government, its core Tier-I capital would be above the 10 per cent mark.
A part of the infusion will go to the associate banks and international subsidiaries, he said.
Responding to a query, he said he expects the Reserve Bank to cut its key lending rate repo by 0.50 per cent and the cash reserve ratio by 1 per cent in its credit policy announcement on January 29.
During their customary pre-policy meet with the RBI brass, the bankers also requested RBI to deregulate interest rate on current accounts which would help people put in more money into these accounts, he added.
Speaking about concerns over deposit growth, Chaudhuri said SBI did not share the concern as it had an excess liquidity of Rs 55,000 crore.

About the Airline Training Industry
Aviation worldwide is a recurring market and the industry is affected predominantly by economics, politics and some part of the globe with acute terrorism..ect. 9/11 had a negative impact on the Airline industry, while in other regions tourism sustained and some picked up and all the local Airlines and charter companies fared rather well...Outside an Airline
Not all Pilots choose an Airline career. There are many other specialties just as rewarding. Other areas available are crop spraying, although I don't recommend it if you intend going the Airline route. Airlines prefer hiring pilots with multi-crew, multi-engine experience from structured environments. Nevertheless – it is well paid but obviously seasonal. Some crop sprayers alternate their work between northern and southern hemispheres to work all year long. Possession of a "Instructor Rating" will always assist you in gaining hours without any cost on flying, this also help you to maintain your license currency at all times... Contrary to popular belief, not everyone has the ability to become a professional pilot. In fact, some people shouldn't fly at all! Not because they can't fly well - but because they can't think well! Cocky, over-confident, egocentric pilots are not desirable and tend to be short lived in this job. The saying "there are old pilots and bold pilots – but no old bold pilots" is true. With the responsibilities and consequences involved, you...
One small tip – guard your reputation well! Airlines do their homework meticulously. Internationally this is a close knit community and if you have a reputation as a heavy drinking Casanova or a flamboyant show-off, you can rest assured the selection board will know about it before you arrive for the interview. Better have some answers ready!
Remuneration
Obviously this is a difficult subject to generalise on as salaries vary extensively around the world. Crop spraying is renowned as being a well paid job but this will be cyclically dependant on the season and whether you are prepared to work in outlying areas and switch hemispheres as...
I hope my advice goes some way in helping you make a decision about your future. Obviously all the aspects cannot be covered in such a short section so if there's any further advice you need please feel free to contact myself. I would try my best to help you in your career path as Professional Pilot.
