Expanded cloud options give customers more
flexibility across public, multicloud, hybrid, and dedicated
environments
New Oracle Alloy enables global
partners to become cloud providers and offer cloud services to
expand their businesses
Vodafone, Nomura Research Institute, and
Tonomus (formerly NEOM Tech & Digital Company) are among
thousands of OCI distributed cloud customers
LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
CloudWorld -- Oracle announced several new distributed cloud
offerings to meet customers' diverse needs and growing demand for
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). New options include Oracle
Alloy, Oracle MySQL HeatWave for Microsoft Azure, and plans to open
new public cloud regions in Chicago, Serbia, and Mexico. OCI's distributed cloud gives
customers the flexibility needed to access cloud services from
anywhere via public, multicloud, hybrid, and dedicated options.
A wide range of factors, including requirements for low-latency
connections in specific locations and regulations for managing
sensitive data, are increasing customer demand for flexibility in
their cloud deployments. For example, customers are increasingly
seeking to run their workloads in specific locations and run these
workloads in the cloud of their choice. The distributed cloud
enables customers to bring applications and data into the
cloud that they previously wouldn't have had confidence bringing to
the public cloud, while preserving the innovation and economic
benefits of the cloud.
"With these expanded OCI offerings, Oracle recognizes that
customers want flexibility, interoperability, and sovereign cloud
capabilities from their strategic providers," said Chris Kanaracus, research director, IDC. "At
IDC, we increasingly view cloud computing as an operating model for
IT that transcends a single location type. Customers want the
benefits of cloud computing across multiple deployment models and
Oracle is seeking to meet this need."
"Organizations want to move their workloads to the cloud but are
often facing multiple hurdles," said Clay
Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. "Defining factors such as security, governance, and
stringent guidelines for data protection across highly regulated
industries and country borders are some of the challenges customers
face. With OCI's distributed cloud, we're able to give our
customers the flexibility they need to deploy cloud services
wherever they choose – and we're ultimately changing the way our
customers think about the cloud."
OCI Public Cloud: A Platform for Workloads Across the
Globe
Oracle Cloud Regions are a secure platform for all workloads.
With common cloud services and simple pricing, Oracle Cloud Regions
offer organizations a broad and consistent set of OCI services with
improved latency from within their own countries. As a result,
organizations can run workloads in the public cloud that weren't
previously possible due to performance, security, or cost
limitations.
OCI continues its momentum as one of the fastest-growing global
hyperscale public cloud providers. Its global public cloud
footprint includes:
- OCI operates 40 commercial and government regions across 22
countries on five continents
- OCI has introduced 10 public cloud regions over the past year
and has plans to add six commercial regions
- The six commercial cloud regions OCI plans to add include:
-
- Chicago will be OCI's fourth
commercial region in the United
States
- Republic of Serbia will be OCI's first region in the country
and the first one announced by any hyperscaler
- Colombia will be OCI's first
region in the country
- Chile, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico will each be home to a second Oracle
Cloud Region
- OCI has also announced that it plans to add two public
sovereign regions for the European Union, located in Germany and Spain, for regulated and sensitive workloads
of both private companies and public sector organizations
- In addition, Oracle has committed to powering all worldwide
Oracle Cloud Regions with 100 percent renewable energy by 2025 –
and several Oracle Cloud Regions, including regions in North America, South
America, and 10 regions in Europe, are already powered by 100 percent
renewable energy
Oracle Alloy: Enabling Partners to Become Full Cloud
Providers
Oracle Alloy is a new cloud infrastructure platform that enables
service providers, integrators, independent software vendors
(ISVs), and other organizations such as financial institutions or
telecommunications providers to become cloud providers and roll out
new cloud services to their own customers. With Alloy, these
organizations can offer a full set of cloud services, brand and
tailor the experience, and package additional value-added services
and applications to meet the specific needs of their markets and
industry verticals. These organizations can also use Alloy
independently in their own data centers and fully control its
operations to help address their specific regulatory
requirements.
OCI Dedicated Region: Bringing the Complete Cloud Into
Customers' Data Centers
OCI Dedicated Region delivers the full set of Oracle-managed
cloud services running in customers' data centers as an
independent, dedicated cloud, with integrated hardware and software
operated by OCI.
Dedicated Region continues to demonstrate momentum with a
growing list of customers, including Vodafone, which will soon
deploy six Dedicated Regions in its data centers across
Europe; Nomura Research Institute,
Ltd., which is in production with two Dedicated Regions; and
Tonomus (formerly NEOM Tech & Digital Company).
OCI Hybrid Cloud: Delivering Cloud Services at Scale
from the Edge to the Data Center
Oracle pioneered bringing cloud services at scale to customer
data centers with Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, extending cloud
regions with fully managed hardware and software infrastructure.
Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer continues to gain momentum, with OCI
now managing cloud infrastructure at customer data centers in more
than 60 countries as a part of its distributed cloud. In addition,
earlier this year OCI previewed Compute Cloud@Customer, which
enables customers to run applications on managed infrastructure in
their data centers.
OCI Multicloud: Combining the Right Services Across
Clouds
With OCI's multicloud options, organizations can help meet their
business and technical goals by combining the right cloud services
for their needs across multiple different clouds, resulting in
better performance and scalability and lower costs.
MySQL HeatWave is available on AWS and available for Microsoft
Azure as part of the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure.
Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure is available via the
Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure across 12 regions,
including a region that is soon to launch in South Africa.
