Enterprise Database Service
Oracle Enterprise Database Service’s managed compute and storage infrastructure allow customers to efficiently run Oracle Database workloads in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Consumption-based subscription pricing for managed compute and storage infrastructure with low-cost OCI block storage enable IT departments to lower the cost of running Oracle Database workloads in the cloud.
Why choose Oracle Enterprise Database Service
Simplified development
Converged database support for multiple data types and access models, including relational, JSON, and graph, allows developers to create innovative applications using a single database. Technologies, such as Oracle Database In-Memory, allows customers to achieve real-time, data-driven insights without having to manage and secure multiple databases.
Discover converged database benefits (6:30)
Streamlined administration
Easy-to-use management through the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, software development kits (SDKs), and representational state transfer (REST) APIs allows customers to simplify the most common database administration tasks. Oracle Enterprise Manager allows IT teams to have an end-to-end view of their Oracle Database environments, increasing productivity.

Comprehensive database security
Multi-level security with always-on encryption secures customers’ databases throughout their lifecycle. Enterprise Edition security capabilities, such as Database Vault and Redaction, enable database teams to regulate database access and protect private information. Oracle Data Safe is included so DBAs can evaluate security risks and implement controls from an integrated security console.

Lower costs
Oracle Enterprise Database Service allows customers to lower their cloud costs with low subscription pricing and bring-your-own-license (BYOL) pricing models. A choice of high-performance virtual machines with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure block storage or bare metal systems enables IT departments to lower monthly total cost of operations for cloud databases by up to 45%, as discussed in Accenture’s analysis (PDF).

Oracle Enterprise Database cloud pricing is based on the number of enabled OCPUs per instance, dependent on the type and shape of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute selected. Oracle Enterprise Database Service running on virtual machines also requires customers to select Oracle Cloud Infrastructure block storage.
*To make it easier to compare pricing across cloud service providers, Oracle web pages show both vCPU (virtual CPUs) prices and OCPU (Oracle CPU) prices for products with compute-based pricing. The products themselves, provisioning in the portal, billing, etc. continue to use OCPU (Oracle CPU) units. OCPUs represent physical CPU cores. Most CPU architectures, including x86, execute two threads per physical core, so 1 OCPU is the equivalent of 2 vCPUs for x86-based compute. The per-hour OCPU rate customers are billed at is therefore twice the vCPU price since they receive two vCPUs of compute power for each OCPU, unless it’s a sub-core instance such as preemptible instances. Additional details supporting the difference between OCPU vs. vCPU can be accessed here.
