Oracle Monday announced that it is expanding its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service portfolio to provide customers with truly flexible core infrastructure services to help optimize resources to meet requirements and significantly reduce costs.
Eleven new computer, networking, and storage, services and capabilities will enable customers to run their workloads faster and more securely at lower cost. Additionally, a new Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer capability, will further help lower costs through better infrastructure utilization, by giving the ability to add Autonomous Database to the existing deployments.
Global cloud adoption continues to expand rapidly as business models transform and the demand for secure remote technology accelerates. However, a variety of prevailing public cloud misconceptions are still holding companies back from realizing the full benefits of the cloud.
The 11 new OCI services and capabilities planned for 2022 include new flexible block storage volumes that automatically tune the performance characteristics in response to fluctuating demand – a first for the industry. Also being introduced are new compute options for most workloads, from a fractional single-core VM that can burst to full-core performance, to an entire HPC cluster with high-speed interconnects.
“OCI continues to break the rules in the cloud, helping customers run their workloads faster, more securely, and more economically,” said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Customers can build cloud native apps on OCI with support for open, standards-based Kubernetes, while AI and high-performance computing customers can build some of the fastest computing clusters in the cloud.”
“With the breadth of customers that we have and the different workloads they’re running on OCI, they are counting on Oracle to take the complexity out of mission critical activities,” said Chris Chelliah, Senior Vice President Customer Strategy, Oracle Japan and Asia Pacific.
