Amazon Web Services Battles Oracle With New Database Products
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) is introducing a slew of new features for Amazon Web Services at its annual AWS re:Invent conference, which runs through Friday. The company is far and away the largest cloud infrastructure provider, and constantly adding new features and products is one way it plans to stay ahead of the competition.
One area that represents a major opportunity for AWS is the database market. Amazon is a small fish in a pond dominated by Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), but it can win market share as an increasing number of enterprises move from on-premise to the cloud. Amazon's database market share was just 2.3% in 2016, according to Gartner, putting it far behind Oracle's dominant 41.6%.
