Safra A. Catz Quotes

The cloud has become the next-generation supercomputer, and the smartphone has provided the revolution to spur its use.

Everything is going to be connected to cloud and data... All of this will be mediated by software.

Everything we can think of that should have a processor, and they'll all be connected. People talk about fridges re-ordering when you run out of milk, but it's going to be much bigger than that. The transition to this world will require a huge number of applications to be developed, and that's a huge opportunity for Infosys.

One of the things I like about the computer that I use is that I can write a program on it or I can download a program on to it and run it. That's kind of important to me, and that's also kind of important to the whole future of the internet... obviously a closed platform is a serious brake on innovation.

The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.

The cloud is this gigantic computing vehicle that delivers computing services to every single industry.

There are very few industries that I know of - I mean, there are companies in fashion, in cosmetics. They're developing AI models and training them in the cloud in the beginning. If they're successful, they build their own datacenters and develop the software in their own datacenter, like Uber does.

This is where the world is going: direct access from anywhere to any type of data, whether it's a small piece of data or a small answer but a long algorithm to create that answer. The user doesn't care about this.

Devices are getting smarter - your television, your car - and that means more data spread around. There needs to be a fabric that connects all these devices. That's what we do.

Cloud computing offers individuals access to data and applications from nearly any point of access to the Internet, offers businesses a whole new way to cut costs for technical infrastructure, and offers big computer companies a potentially giant market for hardware and services.

I got really excited about the idea of data-driven startup just as I was starting Kaggle.

We've been delivering cloud-based services for over a decade, with more than 30 million Intuit customers using offerings across a variety of desktop and mobile devices. The benefits are clear: online experiences are simply better for customer.

If we as a society do not understand 'the cloud,' in all its aspects - what data it holds, how it works, what the bargains are we make as we engage with it, we'll all be the poorer for it, I believe.

I have to admit it: I'm not a huge fan of the cloud computing concept.

Creative Cloud is Adobe re-imagining itself amid a world of these three transformations - cloud, multiscreen and social computing - which are all happening at the same time.

Google's architectural model around broadband and services and so forth plays very well to the powerful devices and services Apple is doing. We're a perfect back end to the problems that they're trying to solve.

When I started at Microsoft, I was lucky enough to be part of the rise of the client-server paradigm.

In 2000, when my partner Ben Horowitz was CEO of the first cloud computing company, Loudcloud, the cost of a customer running a basic Internet application was approximately $150,000 a month.

Our view is that Quark can make almost everything smart. We'll show you some things that you would never have thought could become smart and communicate.

Technology has come such a long way and you could pretty much do everything what's called 'in the box'. It means that it never has to leave your computer.

What we believe is going to be very important is the delivery of traditional software and services and hardware over the Net. That's a form of electronic marketplace.

People are saying, 'Big Data is the new oil.'

The idea behind digital computers may be explained by saying that these machines are intended to carry out any operations which could be done by a human computer.

All of these technologies that we are putting together... our memory technology, our CPU, our graphics architecture, our GPUs - all that is being applied to where the data is. You can almost predict where Intel will be in the future. It will be where data resides.

I think everybody understands how important the cloud is.
