Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
vs Other Public Cloud Providers

Cloud infrastructure showed its mettle last year when pandemic-induced lockdowns hit businesses hard. Cloud computing has many benefits, including increased flexibility, improved security, reduced costs, boosted business agility, improved customer experience, and open technology to enable faster innovation.

Today, anything is possible in the cloud. And enterprises use more than just a single cloud application to accomplish productivity, savings, and profitability. They manage clusters of on-premises and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications across multiple clouds. However, the complexity of these enterprise applications overwhelms IT, teams, in terms of architecture, control, data management, migration, licensing, and security. Therefore, businesses are leveraging public cloud infrastructures to support multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments to achieve the following benefits.

• Access anywhere and at any time
• Efficiencies in cost
• A wide range of scalability options
• Flexible infrastructure
• An easy deployment method
• Faster time to market

COVID-19 has sparked the digital transformation of many organizations. Business leaders across industries are embracing cloud and AI solutions to work smarter and faster. The growth of big data cloud computing and cloud data storage has been a major contributor to the growth of cloud computing. Every organization has different needs, but there are many vendors with the business and technology skills to help clients along with their cloud journey, including IBM, Google, Oracle, and Amazon. Considering business concerns and priorities, every company’s hybrid cloud strategy is unique. If your current applications run on Oracle, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) may play a large role as part of your cloud strategy.

A cloud-smart strategy is an innovative approach that enables you to maximize the value of your public cloud applications. More than 60% of international businesses will implement a cloud-smart strategy by 2023. According to the Gartner Solution Scorecard, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has an overall solution score of 62 out of 100, meeting 74% of the required criteria, 48% of the preferred criteria, and 17% of optional criteria.

Why OCI is chosen by customers?

Oracle Cloud is an Oracle cloud service that combines Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Data as a Service (DaaS) solutions within an infrastructure.

OCI’s compute options cover the expanse of virtual machines and Kubernetes-based containers, making it the only cloud service provider to beat other public cloud providers in Gartner’s solution scorecard. In comparison with other cloud providers, Oracle Cloud can provide up to 5 times better performance for 19 times less cost when paired with remote block storage

Customers choose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for all their cloud workloads for six main reasons.

Migration of critical enterprise workloads is much easier

Most hyper-scale cloud providers were architected as virtual machines with resources shared via a hypervisor and overcrowded networks, making it challenging for most enterprise applications to be migrated to the cloud. OCI was designed with key cloud technologies to address the requirements of enterprise applications.

A complete guide to building cloud-native applications

OCI is designed for enterprise applications, but the same innovations in networking, computing, and storage also make cloud-native applications more performant, resilient, and scalable. You can build production cloud-native apps with OCI’s cloud services and partner ecosystem.

Your apps are automatically tuned, secured, and scaled by autonomous services

Automated services are ideally suited for patching and tuning operating systems and databases. Poor configuration or poor optimization can cripple an application, while incorrectly applied security patches expose it to vulnerabilities.

Oracle Cloud provides the most support for hybrid cloud strategies

Oracle designed the architecture of Oracle Cloud to support a wide range of deployment options for customers. OCI’s range of hybrid options enables customers, regardless of whether they have already selected a primary cloud provider or are earlier in the adoption process, to modernize their business.

With no extra charge, Oracle offers security built-in by default

We improved not only the architecture but also key characteristics such as security in this next-generation cloud. We make most of our security tools free as part of your OCI environment, and we have designed security into the core experience from the start of your application build or migration.

OCI offers superior price-performance

We aimed to build Oracle Cloud so it would perform better for every application and offer better price-performance ratios. Security and container management are core cloud capabilities that are built into the cost of computing, not as an add-on service. To support our customers’ multi-cloud networks, we built better-performing networks, but we also priced data movement out of the cloud accordingly.

Advantages of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

• Oracle cloud offering in IAAS/PAAS/SAAS
• RAC(DB) & EBS(R12) certification only on OCI cloud
• Oracle Cloud only supports Engineer Systems like Exadata in a pay-as-you-go model
• Oracle was the first to pioneer a Cloud@Customer model, it provides strong customer data isolation, including all API operations, which remain local to customer data centers and provide the highest security levels.
