"...its chief executive touted the tech giant's recent success in landing cloud services agreements, including one that will reach more than $30 billion in revenue by 2028

Oracle Chief Executive Safra Catz said in a regulatory filing early Monday that... we signed multiple large cloud services agreements including one that is expected to contribute more than $30 billion in annual revenue starting in fiscal year 2028,"



So the $30bn annual revenue (not profit) deal starts sometime after April 2028.

Which sounds like it may be for the new Oracle/SoftBank/OpenAi datacentre that is being opened?


The mystery customer goes to a different school...thats why we haven't heard of them


You seem to be either implying the deal doesn't actually exist, or that it is with some entity that won't actually be able to meet the commitment.

The former would be outright fraud.

The latter would be a really bad idea on Oracle's side; being able to actually serve that contract will require a huge amount of capex spenditure, and that spending needs to start pretty much right now. They're not taking the liability of that build-out without having confidence in the customer actually paying in three years.



Oracle Cloud only wins deals by making them zero margin or even unprofitable for them. It’s then only way they can compete against more established competitors with better tech and non-asshole business practices.


Some poor guy mistakenly downloaded the Oracle build of Java.


TikTok?


My thoughts--especially given recent announcement about a TikTok dealing being made https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20nqdl5ydjo


palantir contract to track every american?


My money is on Apple both for GPU and storage (they've allegedly got a couple exabyte on GCP).


So... US govt, Apple, or some A.I. bs?


I bet it's ICE.
