Oracle tells 200 workers to get off of its cloud

Oracle has laid off more than 200 employees from its cloud unit.

The cuts occurred this week and affected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The cuts follow other redundancies in Oracle’s North America cloud and technology unit.

The affected roles include ones working on OCI object storage, operations and support and engineering architecture.

The news comes months after Oracle completed its acquisition of healthcare systems vendor Cerner. Oracle’s plans to dominate electronic healthcare systems with its new subsidiary.

Oracle reported its most recent quarterly earnings in September, avoiding the heightened cloud budget concerns voiced by cloud vendor giants Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google Cloud in its October earnings reports.
