Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer

Key differentiators

Database cloud simplicity

Your users, developers, and IT staff operate more efficiently with a self-service and high-performance Oracle Database cloud with no infrastructure management.

Data sovereignty

Your databases are secured behind your data center firewalls to meet data sovereignty, security, and governance requirements.

Automated management

Oracle experts use machine learning to manage Exadata Cloud@Customer in your data center and give you the choice of managing your own databases or having Oracle manage them for you with Autonomous Database.

Database performance

Your database cloud runs faster and with higher consolidation rates using more than 60 unique Oracle Database capabilities and up to 12X more SQL read IOPS, 10X higher SQL throughput, and 98% lower SQL latency than Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) on AWS Outposts.

Cost-effective cloud economics

Exadata Cloud@Customer reduces your system administration costs, and Autonomous Database optimizes consumption costs, by scaling resources up and down in real time for true pay-per-use subscription pricing.

Exadata performance, scale, and availability

Full-stack Oracle Database solution

Running your Oracle Databases with optimized performance, efficiency, and scaling is easier with a full-stack, integrated solution that’s managed and patched by Oracle Cloud experts.

High performance

Your vitally important OLTP and analytics applications run faster because SQL queries and Oracle Machine Learning analytics are offloaded to up to 12 intelligent storage servers with persistent memory IO acceleration.

Simplified database consolidation

Reduce your on-premises IT complexity by consolidating more databases using Oracle Multitenant and 7X larger databases than RDS on AWS Outposts, and combining different types of databases using converged Oracle Database capabilities.

Zero data loss and downtime

Built-in fault tolerance and options for local and remote disaster recovery enable you to achieve higher availability for your vitally important Oracle Databases.

Autonomous Database

Automated scaling

Scale resource consumption up and down automatically, without interrupting database operations, based on your application’s real-time workload requirements.

Automated tuning

The execution of your Oracle Databases is continually analyzed and tuned to optimize database performance for application development, production transaction processing, and data-warehousing workloads that change over time.

Automated provisioning

Your development teams are more productive with a self-service database cloud that provisions new data warehouses and development databases in seconds.

Automated fault management and patching

Protect your databases from downtime due to failures, maintenance, user errors, and cyberattacks with the automatic application of the latest software updates and security patches.

Pay-per-use economics

Autonomous Database helps reduce your database costs by up to 90% by only charging you for actual OCPU consumption.

Oracle Database cloud

Converged database

You can create innovative applications using multiple database models in Oracle Database without the management and security fragmentation caused by multiple, single-purpose databases.

Consolidated database management

Your IT teams operate more efficiently because they can manage up to 4,096 databases at a time with Oracle Multitenant, instead of managing individual systems or database instances.

All database versions

Simplify your digital transformation by consolidating databases using multiple Oracle Database versions on a single system or by running Autonomous Database.

Rapid database provisioning

Your developers access a high-performance, self-service database cloud with rapid provisioning of full-scale databases so they never have to wait.

Oracle Machine Learning

Your developers can easily add machine learning (ML) capabilities to database applications and build ML models up to 10X faster without moving data.

Lower costs

Higher per-OCPU performance

OCPUs on Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer are enabled by physical CPU core instead of by virtual cores on other services, giving you up to 2X the power per database license.

Fewer OCPUs required

Your cost of running Oracle Databases is up to 26% less than other on-premises cloud database offerings because offloading SQL queries and other operations to storage servers reduces the amount of billable resources you need.

Flexible subscription pricing

Optimize innovation and costs with your choice of all-inclusive or bring-your-own license pricing and the ability to scale consumption up and down without interrupting database operations.

Less onsite management

Reduce the cost of managing your database infrastructure by up to 69% with Exadata Cloud@Customer or 80% or more with Autonomous Database.

Software features

Cloud control plane

Your users securely provision and manage databases by connecting to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure control plane using an encrypted web browser, command line interface, or REST API.

Smart Scan

Your data-intensive SQL queries and analytics run faster with intelligent storage servers that offload processing from database servers and minimize data transfers.

Persistent memory optimizations

SQL latencies for your transactional applications are reduced by up to 90% by directly accessing up to 18 TB of persistent memory (PMEM) in shared storage servers with no OS or networking overhead.

Automated resource management

Your databases consistently run fast with built-in IO resource management and the ML-based automated indexing and tuning of Autonomous Database.

Hybrid columnar compression

Reduce the amount of storage you need to store and load data warehouses and database archives by up to 12X, four times more than storage-based compression.

Integrated data protection

Protect your databases using cloud control plane integration with Oracle’s Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance and Database Backup Cloud Service.
