Compute
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides flexible, high performance, and secure compute for any workload—including AI and machine learning (ML), compute intensive, enterprise, and cloud native applications.
Oracle Offers First Zettascale Cloud Computing Cluster
This new AI supercomputer, the largest in the cloud, will deliver up to 131,072 NVIDIA GPUs, allowing you to build, train, and inference AI at scale.
Fully automated, end-to-end disaster recovery for OCI Compute
Every OCI Compute VM instance now includes disaster recovery status on the resource details page in the OCI console that indicates if disaster recovery is enabled or disabled. Full Stack DR is the 100% cloud native disaster recovery as a service for OCI that ties together recovery processes for OCI Compute, storage, and databases into a single, cohesive workflow that you can trigger with a single click.
Why use OCI Compute?
Up to 60% savings
OCI, lets you select the number of cores and memory to match your workload needs 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.
Resiliency
Get fully automated, unified cross-region recovery for compute, storage, and databases using OCI Full Stack Disaster Recovery. With a single click, you can quickly generate disaster recovery plans for drills, failovers, and switchovers that are prepopulated with everything needed for recovery.
