Why use OCI Compute?


Up to 60% savings

OCI, unlike other cloud providers, lets you select the number of cores and memory to match your workload needs for average annual cost savings of up to 60% with fully customizable instances.


48% more efficiency

According to industry analyst IDC’s business value report, organizations using OCI have realized benefits worth an average of US$11.6 million per year and a five-year ROI of 393%. OCI has enabled them to be 48% more efficient in deploying compute and 30% more efficient in deploying storage.

Highly secure

Shielded instances, confidential computing, hardware root of trust, and off-box virtualization help reduce attacks by low-level malware, denial of service, and other malicious software, helping applications run securely.

OCI Compute services

Virtual machines (VMs)

Run a wide range of workloads, from small development projects to large-scale global applications, on OCI Compute VMs securely and achieve improved price-performance.


Flexible VMs

VMs are customizable from 1–94 cores for AMD EPYC processors, 1–32 cores for Intel, and 1–80 cores for Ampere processors, with 1–1,094 GB RAM and network bandwidth that scales with the number of cores.
