Lower costs

Lower cost per database vCPU

Oracle Database vCPUs run faster on Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer than on other local cloud database services because they use processing cores in intelligent storage servers to offload operations and reduce networking overhead. By running databases faster, the cost of running Oracle Database is up to 40% less, as described in Wikibon’s analysis.

Flexible subscription pricing

Optimize innovation and costs by offering customers the choice of all-inclusive or bring-your-own license pricing and the ability to scale consumption up and down without interrupting database operations.

Elastic storage expansion

Exadata Cloud@Customer X9M storage servers provide 28% more capacity at the same price which, when combined with the ability to include up to 12 storage servers in any configuration, reduces the cost of deploying solutions with hundreds of terabytes of capacity by up to 45% when compared to X8M configurations.

Less onsite management

Organizations reduce the cost of managing database infrastructure by up to 69% with Exadata Cloud@Customer as described in IDC’s analysis, or 80% or more with Autonomous Database on Exadata Cloud@Customer as described in the Infosys report.

Software features

Cloud control plane

Users securely provision and manage databases by connecting to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure control plane using an encrypted web browser, command line interface, or REST API.

Smart Scan

Important customer applications run faster because SQL queries and analytics accessing large amounts of data are offloaded from database servers to intelligent storage servers, freeing up database server resources and minimizing data transfers.

Persistent memory optimizations

An organization’s crucial transactional applications run faster because database servers directly access up to 18 TB of persistent memory in stared storage servers with no OS or networking overhead, reducing read latencies by up to 90%.

Automated resource management

Consolidated customer databases consistently run fast with built-in I/O resource management and the ML-based automated indexing and tuning of Autonomous Database.

Hybrid columnar compression

Reduce the amount of storage needed to store an organization’s data warehouses and database archives by up to 90%.

Integrated data protection

Protect crucial customer databases using cloud control plane integration with Oracle’s Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance and Database Backup Cloud Service.
