Cloud Networking
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) networking and connectivity products and services enable customers to manage and scale their networks. Customers can connect securely to a customizable, isolated virtual cloud network (VCN), and take advantage of inexpensive data egress charges. Granular access control of networking technologies provides connectivity solutions across both physical and virtual networks.
Learn about core infrastructure features that can flexibly run any application faster and more securely.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customer successes
“Now that we have various technical support from Oracle, including networking, we can prepare a cloud environment in a short period of time. We look forward to strong support from Oracle, including providing the latest advanced technologies in the future.”
Why customers choose Oracle Cloud Networking and Connectivity
Lowest network pricing
OCI offers low networking prices that enables enterprises to move significant volumes of data—such as live video streaming, video conferencing, and gaming—at very low costs. Inbound data transfer is free, and OCI offers 10 TB of outbound data transfer at no cost. Compared to AWS’s 1 GB and Azure’s 5 GB, organizations can save up to 80% compared to other clouds.
Oracle Cloud economicsFlexible load balancing
OCI Load Balancing enables enterprises to distribute web requests across a fleet of servers or automatically route traffic across fault domains, availability domains, or regions. This yields high availability and fault tolerance for any application or data source. OCI’s Flexible Load Balancing provides instant readiness and dynamic scalability for your workloads.

Introducing global connectivity and enhanced cloud networking with the dynamic routing gateway
Paul Cainkar, Director Solutions Architecture, Oracle
Today, we’re introducing a major update to how Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers think about, use, and connect resources between their on-premises and cloud environment. We’re enabling new scenarios to address demands for global networks, network scalability, and remote connectivity using the dynamic routing gateway and the Oracle backbone. These DRG enhancements collectively address and enable scenarios that global enterprises and independent software vendors (ISVs) require to enhance and simplify connectivity.
