OCI over Microsoft Azure
A public cloud built for mission-critical, enterprise workloads.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is built for any application needing higher performance, lower cost, and deployment closer to end users. Customers choose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure because they can access every cloud service where it is needed, migrate any workload to the cloud without costly rearchitecture, and leverage the latest cloud native technologies.
- Take advantage of Oracle data services that are only in OCI, including optimized hardware, as well as open source offerings, such as MySQL HeatWave and Kubernetes.
- Experience a cloud architecture designed for reaching full capacity without oversubscription.
- Enable a multicloud strategy to take advantage of specialized services and increase vendor diversification.
Azure customers can access all Oracle Database services in OCI as native services from Azure in select regions—without leaving the Azure ecosystem.
Multicloud deployment success with OCI and Microsoft Azure
Public cloud built for mission-critical, enterprise workloads
Access OCI cloud services in public regions, OCI Dedicated Region, cloud@customer, hybrid, and multicloud deployments.
OCI enables you to meet your performance, reliability, and data sovereignty needs while leveraging all of OCI’s technology. Azure Stack Hub only offers a subset of Azure’s services.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure was built for organizations that are looking to run any application closer to their customers with high performance at a lower cost. Deploy existing applications—even the legacy ones—along with cloud native apps on containers as well as serverless on OCI Functions.
Join customers like Medallia and Snap Vision who chose OCI over the other cloud providers.
Combine managed MySQL capability, transaction processing, in-memory analytics, and converged machine learning on a single platform with MySQL Heatwave.
An independent benchmark (PDF) shows an 80% cost savings and 62% faster performance than Azure Synapse.

Simplified and consistent pricing
Oracle Cloud pricing is easier to understand and model because most options are already included in the price. Plus, service pricing is the same across all global regions. OCI's Always Free pricing tier provides many services for free up to generous limits., such as 10 TB of data egress free per month.
Azure charges different prices across regions for the same service and charges for data egress after only 100 GB per month.

Seamless, cross-cloud experience
Leverage the strengths of OCI and Azure without compromise. Access all Oracle Database features on native OCI from within Azure services at local speed in select regions.
