Autonomous Database on Dedicated Infrastructure
Oracle Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure is a highly automated, fully managed database environment running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with committed hardware and software resources. These isolated resources enable organizations to meet stringent security, availability, and performance requirements while reducing cost and complexity. Cloud native database capabilities make it easy to develop new applications while compatibility with on-premises Oracle databases simplifies migrating and consolidating databases for transaction processing, analytics, and mixed workloads.
Oracle Exadata: Next-generation intelligent data architecture
Wikibon says Oracle Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure offers crucial functionality and lower costs when migrating critical Oracle Database workloads to the cloud.

Key features of Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure
Autonomous management
The complexity of operating and securing Oracle Database is eliminated by automating tasks such as provisioning, configuring, securing, tuning, and scaling. This reduces the risk of human error by replacing manual administration with machine learning–driven automation.
Dedicated infrastructure
Dedicated resources in OCI, including processors, memory, networking, and storage, provide greater control over service levels and operational policies while enabling data isolation and performance predictability.
Converged database
Simple and complete database capabilities make it easy to create and extend applications with all data types, data models, and data processing using a single database system. This replaces the complexity and risk of managing multiple single-purpose databases.
High performance
Fast, predictable database performance is provided by monitoring and automatically adjusting resources, indexes, and query execution. Unique low latency, parallel query, and intelligent storage accelerate all types of database workloads.
High availability
The fault-tolerant Exadata platform combined with advanced features such as Oracle Real Application Clusters and Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture enable 99.95% availability SLAs that increase to 99.995% when used with Autonomous Data Guard.
Built-in security
Powerful security controls help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks. As a result, the risk of a data breach is reduced while privacy and regulatory requirements are addressed with always-on encryption, Oracle Data Safe, Oracle Database Vault, and OCI security.
Maximum scalability
Oracle Exadata’s scale-out architecture lets organizations independently configure compute and storage to optimize database performance and create data warehouses with up to 40 PB of capacity.
Real-time data integration
Oracle GoldenGate provides high-volume data replication optimized for Oracle Database. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Integration simplifies data migration into cloud platforms for data warehouses and data lakes.
Consolidation efficiency
Concurrently run autonomous and nonautonomous databases to increase consolidation efficiency while reducing both management and consumption costs.
