For Oracle ACE Director Kai Yu, winner of the 2012 Oracle Excellence Award for Technologist of the Year—Cloud Architect and senior engineer at the Dell Oracle Solution Engineering Lab at Dell Inc., cloud computing may be in its infancy, but it’s still the future.

Yu has spent more than 17 years working with Oracle technology and solutions. Over the past three years, he has developed a series of best practices for virtualization and cloud computing, and he has shared his expertise in numerous white papers and more than 30 Oracle Cloud technical presentations around the world.“Cloud is in its early stages, but I think cloud computing is a long-term strategy that will play an important role in tomorrow’s business,” says Yu. “For example, by building private clouds, large businesses can consolidate their IT infrastructure to increase the efficiency of IT as well as significantly improve their ability to adapt to the rapid change of business.”
“At Dell, we’ve achieved a huge cost savings and great improvement of flexibility and manageability by implementing cloud-based solutions,” says Yu. “Our group implements cloud computing models using Oracle technologies such as Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle VM, and Oracle Enterprise Manager and provides the reference architecture and the implementation best practices of these cloud solutions based on Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell network and storage solutions to help customers from different industries architect cloud solutions for their IT environments.”
