Rapid digitalization has allowed organizations to rapidly deploy IT systems and solutions, establish private network architectures, and connect global remote workforces. Due to this complexity, real-time network security monitoring must be provided for IT systems, business processes, enterprise applications, web assets etc.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers several features to address these challenges, including providing a highly available cloud service with multiple redundant data centers for fault tolerance and high availability.
Compute
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers compute resources that enable you to run applications across a global network of managed data centers. OCI supports an array of workloads and applications, from databases to serverless environments. Non-blocking networks deliver low latency performance for consistently low latency operations while cutting-edge CPUs, GPUs, networking technologies, and NVMe SSD drives provide improved I/O speeds at lower costs than traditional hard disk drives.
Oracle Compute’s primary advantage lies in its multiple fault domains, which help ensure application availability. Each instance is physically separated from others so any maintenance or other changes won’t impact instances in other fault domains.
Oracle believes Exadata Cloud@Customer subscribers will benefit from its advanced hardware and capabilities, and many enterprises have already taken advantage of its competitive pricing and quick deployment options.
Storage
This is an integral component of cloud computing systems. Oracle offers various data storage options – block volumes and object storage among them – each offering their own set of physical resources with specific performance characteristics. Oracle Object Storage stands out as being low latency yet cost-efficient storage capable of accommodating vast volumes of information.
Oracle bare metal instances offer high-performance local data storage with no virtualization overhead, offering one central point for controlling hardware, firmware, software stacks and networking infrastructure – simplifying application management.
Oracle Storage Platforms offer solutions designed for single and multi-tenant deployments that scale as demand increases, offering pay-as-you-go models which allow customers to save money by prepaying or making monthly flex payments – helping avoid vendor lock-in and ensure maximum return on investment.
Oracle Databases
Oracle offers solutions that can support digital transformation within businesses. Their products, like CRM on Demand, enable businesses to automate processes while increasing efficiency while offering tools to assist with demand & operations management.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a globally managed public cloud that offers over 100 services across multiple regions, featuring innovative solutions and advanced security measures designed to deliver peak performance for mission-critical workloads. OCI also includes networking services designed to increase connectivity and security – such as Ravello for migrating onto OCI hardware; Fast Connect directs traffic directly onto Oracle’s private network.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
This part of Oracles offering gives flexible networking capabilities tailored to customer applications on demand, providing businesses with an avenue for overcoming technology limitations that impede growth, such as software that cannot accommodate new user numbers or incompatibilities between systems. OCI allows organizations to quickly adapt as new technologies emerge – for instance by adding connectivity features like video conferencing.
OCI offers a selection of network services for users to utilize, such as cloud networking, storage, and security. Customers can create a customized networking environment using Virtual Private Network and Secure Tunneling services from OCI – offering access control and encryption of applications, data and traffic – and supporting VMware, Linux and Microsoft operating systems.
OCI’s network capabilities include pay-as-you-go instances for database deployments, Oracle Exadata Cloud Service Bare Metal for high I/O configurations and high performance engineered system capability in quarter, half rack and complete rack configurations as well as flat topology data centers ensuring maximum speed and performance over Ethernet connections.
Integrating AI & Machine Learning
Integrating an insights-driven software as a service application with Oracle Cloud’s advanced generative AI innovations enables businesses to streamline operations, increase innovation and gain competitive edge. Leveraging Oracle’s cloud infrastructure and latest-generation AI developments (learn more about managing connectivity to Oracle Cloud with Megaport here), organizations can capitalize on the machine learning revolution with this portfolio of cloud applications (more info here about working connectivity to Oracle Cloud with Megaport).
Oracle’s AI Platform includes predictive analytics, natural language processing engine and data pipeline to enable developers to rapidly build machine learning models. It also features prebuilt machine learning services which can be tailored with your organization’s data to increase quality while speeding up model building processes.
IBM’s AI Speech service uses prebuilt models to convert audio files to text transcriptions for closed captioning workflows, content indexing and improved search. IBM also offers an ML Forecasting service and an ML Data Labelling service designed to assist developers quickly create labeled datasets suitable for machine learning training via user interface or public APIs.
Application Development
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Provides Application Development Services Oracle’s cloud infrastructure offers various tools to assist with rapidly creating modern applications. These include platform services for databases, middleware, analytics, AI/ML and integration; which enables customers to migrate existing workloads onto the cloud without extensive re-architecting efforts.
Oracle also provides numerous security tools to protect both data and applications, such as default data encryption, identity and access management policies that tailor individual access, centralized monitoring alerting system services, round-the-clock security operations center services, and multi-cloud connectivity between Oracle and Azure platforms.
Many of these tools are metered per second, enabling you to pay only for what you use. This allows for greater resource scalability as workloads change while simultaneously decreasing costs and increasing flexibility; using this holistic approach to application development yields reduced costs and greater freedom – one communications provider switched to OCI and saved 80% on networking expenses, improving customer satisfaction while driving revenue growth.
Oracle Enterprise Applications
One of the more recent entrants into this market, Oracle, is trying to compete with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with solid infrastructure and established strategies in place for growth.
Customers gain access to an expansive selection of enterprise applications and can migrate legacy apps onto the cloud at an economical price. Furthermore, these vendors boast an ecosystem of partners to assist with development & integration projects.
Oracle’s cloud computing platform offers enterprises many features to meet their business requirements, including non-oversubscribed gigabit networks with optimized edge access, low data egress costs and access fees, and high-performance CPU and GPU cores for processing performance.
Guaranteeing storage performance at no additional cost while providing an adaptable pricing model tailored to your use case requirements ensures optimal storage performance without incurring other expenses.
This platform boasts multiple global cloud regions to offer proper catastrophe protection and ensure data sovereignty, providing immense peace of mind to businesses looking to avoid data loss due to natural disasters or cyber-attacks.
