Oracle powers its business with Autonomous Database

More than 27,000 customer instances

More than 6,000 customer instances

"Much like how Cloud EPM provides greater value to our customers by automating the operation, patching, and maintenance of the application, Autonomous Database provides us the same value so we can spend more time improving our service for our customers."

Migration from Oracle Exadata to Autonomous Database

Migration from Oracle Exadata to Autonomous Database

"Using Autonomous Database enables us to manage over 1,000 databases across all OCI regions with no dedicated administrative head count. OCI Ops Insights Cloud Service has also been able to achieve per tenant level predictable performance and immensely improved data security by isolating each tenant’s data to dedicated Autonomous Data Warehouse instances. Managing such a large number of databases across regions would have been impossible without Autonomous Database technology."

—Girish Kumar Balachandran, Senior Director of Software Development, Oracle

"We rely on Oracle Autonomous Database to run OS Management Service and are able to operate about 5,000 databases with no DBAs. I would not want to go back to any other database. With Autonomous Database, our team can do more high value work because we don’t have to spend time tuning, optimizing, backing up, patching, or updating databases."
