Oracle Cloud at a glance
Distributed cloud
OCI’s distributed cloud delivers the cloud to where customers need it with public cloud, dedicated cloud, hybrid cloud, and multicloud options. For customers that need cloud services in specific locations, with specific controls, or even from different clouds, OCI’s distributed cloud can bring the benefits of the cloud to workloads beyond the traditional boundaries of other cloud providers.
Multicloud
The customers who leverage best-of-breed cloud services to deliver business agility while optimizing cost end up winning. OCI’s multicloud services are designed so customers can use the full capabilities of OCI’s services in other clouds. This allows customers to move faster with more agility, using the services and clouds that are best for the job, and to use resources without moving or rearchitecting them.
Hybrid cloud
Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer brings the full functionality and scalability of Oracle Database on Exadata infrastructure to customer data centers, managed as a service via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Customers can use OCI hybrid cloud solutions, such as Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure and Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer, and also connect to and manage on-premises resources with OCI management, integration, identity, and analytics services.
Public cloud
Oracle Cloud is available globally from 41 cloud regions for commercial and government customers in 22 countries. We continue to add cloud regions rapidly, with a goal to provide 2 geographically distributed cloud regions in every country we operate in. We currently have at least 2 regions in 10 countries and the European Union. OCI has announced the locations of 7 additional commercial regions and 2 sovereign cloud regions for the EU.
Dedicated cloud
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Dedicated Region brings a complete and independent cloud region—and all of OCI’s more than 100 cloud services—to a customer’s data center. Dedicated Region is an integrated hardware and software solution that’s managed and supported by OCI. For customers with location-specific low-latency and performance needs, or for those in regulated industries with heightened data residency requirements, Dedicated Region can provide a dedicated cloud platform to modernize and digitalize your business.

Performance and consistency
We’ve designed OCI according to four tenets, each focused on making the experience simpler and better for customers.
- Flexible infrastructure, including compute, storage, and networking features that allow you to allocate granular CPU and RAM and automatically scale as your business scales.
- Easy-to-use services that enable you to focus on your goals, not infrastructure decisions. We work behind the scenes to help you easily identify and fix underutilized resources and bottlenecks.
- Security features that are built into the platform to detect misconfigurations and insecure and malicious activity and enable admins to resolve security issues quickly, with options for particular needs.
- High performance within the platform so you don’t have to make trade-offs. OCI offers performance comparable to dedicated on-premises infrastructure, so you get benefits across all your workloads without having to pick certain resources or deal with the complexity of high performance computing environments.
In addition, OCI is the only major provider that offers financially backed performance SLAs for networking, block storage, and storage within compute instances.
High availability
Each Oracle Cloud region supports high availability architectures using fault domains to address the most common issues at a metropolitan scale, in a manner similar to Availability Zones offered by other cloud providers. Each fault domain represents a virtual data center with power and network redundancy at the physical level. Software deployment in a fault domain is staggered to minimize the blast radius and enables customers to avoid single points of failure (SPOFs) in resource deployment, ensuring application availability.
For applications with higher availability needs, workloads can add disaster recovery capabilities for protection in case an entire data center becomes unavailable (extreme reliability architecture). In this case, OCI recommends replication across dual Oracle Cloud regions to enable geographic disaster recovery. Oracle Cloud regions are located in different cities to provide geographical distance and operate in different power grids, network infrastructure, and flood plains, offering resiliency against data center failures and natural disasters.
As of October 2022, OCI has 41 cloud regions around the world, with at least 2 regions in 10 countries and the EU and a plan to deploy at least 2 regions in each country for customers with strict data residency regulations.
Additional resources
Built for every workload
OCI offers more than 100 cloud services, with many more on their way. Our cloud services are open, and they embrace industry standards such as Kubernetes, CloudEvents, and Terraform so that customers can enjoy portability, lower overhead, and lower costs. We built our cloud to deliver the performance and scalability customers need to run the most demanding enterprise workloads and modern cloud native applications. For example, we uniquely offer Oracle Autonomous Database—which is optimized for transaction processing, data warehousing, or JSON, with automatic tuning, scaling, and patching—for both existing and new applications.
Built for Multicloud
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides superior cloud services for many workloads and optimizes multicloud operations, especially with Microsoft Azure. Oracle and Microsoft have a strategic partnership that enables joint customers to run workloads across the two clouds.
This partnership provides a low-latency, cross-cloud interconnect between OCI and Azure in 12 regions, federated identity for joint customers to deploy applications across both clouds, and a collaborative support model.
Customers can run full stack applications in a multicloud configuration while maintaining high-performance connectivity without requiring rearchitecture. They can also migrate existing applications or develop cloud native applications that use a mix of OCI and Azure services.
Additional Resources
Net zero targets
Oracle Cloud regions deliver a sustainable computing platform that is efficient and renewable. Our data centers enable higher utilization rates than on-premises systems. We leverage state-of-the-art intelligent energy management and cooling techniques while providing elastic computing platforms that grow dynamically as needed, eliminating excess capacity builds for future demands.
Oracle’s goal is to achieve 100% renewable energy use in all its OCI data centers by 2025.
By having full visibility and control over the hardware at the end of its useful life in Oracle Cloud, Oracle is also able to repurpose equipment more effectively, harvest spare parts, and maximize the recycling of materials.
Additional resources
Compliance
Oracle is committed to helping customers operate globally in a fast-changing business environment and to address the challenges of an ever more complex regulatory environment. Oracle Cloud regions are regularly assessed as part of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s compliance programs. We meet more than 80 global, regional, and industry standards including SOC, PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, and GDPR.
Additional resources
Enterprise SaaS
Oracle is also taking advantage of our own infrastructure innovation with Oracle Cloud Applications. For the first time, customers can run applications they migrate, applications they build, and a broad range of horizontal and industry SaaS all out of the same cloud. Oracle Cloud regions can not only run customer workloads but also offer enterprise SaaS such as Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, Oracle Human Capital Management, and Oracle Supply Chain Planning, providing unmatched speed, security, and continuity.
Globally consistent pricing
For enterprises that want to expand in multiple geographies without constraints, OCI provides a consistent experience in every region, both in terms of performance and cost. Customers can stay within their original budget and forecast cloud spending accurately, regardless of where they deploy applications. In addition, OCI provides a series of controls for you to limit resource access, manage your budget, tune down underused resources, and forecast your spending.
