What is Oracle Cloud
What Is Oracle Cloud and How Enterprises Use It
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a cloud platform with differentiated capabilities in 3 areas: database (Autonomous Database, Exadata Cloud, Oracle Database on OCI — performance and licensing advantages for Oracle Database workloads that AWS/Azure cannot match), enterprise applications (Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, HCM, SCM — native cloud applications that replace on-premises Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards), and infrastructure (compute, storage, networking with bare metal options and consistent pricing — OCI's pricing model is 30-50% lower than AWS/Azure for equivalent compute).
Why enterprises choose OCI: Oracle Database licensing (run Oracle Database on OCI at a fraction of the cost vs AWS/Azure — Oracle counts fewer cores on OCI for licensing purposes), ERP modernization (migrate E-Business Suite or PeopleSoft to Fusion Cloud on OCI), high-performance computing (bare metal instances for: financial modeling, genomics, and engineering simulation), and hybrid cloud (Oracle Cloud@Customer runs OCI in your data center for: data sovereignty and latency requirements). OCI integrates with: cloud architecture, data engineering, and ERP consulting.
