Oracle Cloud Infrastructure—Compute
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides secure, elastic, compute capacity in the cloud that ranges from virtual machines and bare metal servers to HPC, GPU, container orchestration, and management. Available on-demand, compute instances provide developers with the foundation and scalability required for enterprise workloads spanning from traditional back office to modern cloud native applications.
E4 compute shapes use AMD’s EPYC processors and support all x86 applications. These shapes include the industry’s largest bare metal server, which provides 3x better price-performance than competing offerings. Industry-first flexible VMs provide tailor-made shapes for every workload.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure delivers on-premises performance and control for HPC workloads by offering high-performance bare metal and RDMA cluster networking.
Oracle virtual machines are 49% less expensive than comparable Intel and AMD-based AWS instances. We also charge 74% less for outbound bandwidth. Live streaming company 8x8 saved 80% in network egress costs.

Oracle Cloud Compute key features
Security built-in
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) protects data and applications by combining layers of defense across the network, physical hardware, and web-facing services that are aligned to hardened operational procedures. Oracle Cloud's security design has been recognized as more enhanced than on-premises offerings by 75% of those surveyed in the 2020 Oracle and KPMG Cloud Threat Report.
Oracle provides end-to-end customer isolation. Always-on encryption protects customer data at rest, and APIs use HTTPS. Easy-to-use security, identity, and management policies further constrain access to services.
Oracle Cloud complianceConsistent high performance and and availability
Enterprise customers expect high-performance infrastructure that responds consistently to ongoing application demands. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure enables high performance and consistency across enterprise, cloud native, and HPC workloads by not oversubscribing compute, network, and storage resources.
Cloud application companies expect to be online 100% of the time. To ensure 24/7 cloud availability, companies can leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to deploy applications across multiple fault domains, regions, and/or availability domains (ADs).

Direct access to 100% of bare metal compute resources
Bare metal servers provide customers isolation, visibility, and control of an entire dedicated server. For the most demanding applications, Oracle’s bare metal instances scale up to 128 cores (the largest in the industry), 2 TB of RAM, and up to 1 PB of block storage. Other cloud providers install agents and additional software, but at Oracle we install zero software on bare metal machines. As a result, customers gain the highest possible levels of performance.
Features
- 52 cores on Intel Xeon, 64 or 128 cores on AMD EPYC processors
- 512 to 2,048 GB of RAM
- Up to 1 PB block storage
- Two 50 Gbps network interfaces
- Standard instances
- Dense I/O instances
- HPC instances
Supports up to 64 cores, 1024 GB RAM and 25.6 TB of local SSD storage
Virtual machines provide secure, elastic, compute capacity in the cloud, accommodating workloads of all sizes. Choose from a wide variety of VM shapes, including our new E3.Flex shape, which allows customers to define the number of cores up to 64 and corresponding memory up to 1024 GB. Dense I/O shapes also offer up to 25.6 TBs of local NVMe SSD storage for applications requiring low latency, millions of IOPS, and high local storage capacity.
Features
- 1 to 64 cores
- Up to 1024 GB of memory
- Up to 25.6 TB of local SSD storage
- Up to 1 PB block storage
- Standard instances
- Dense I/O instances
Designed for high-performance workloads
