Oracle Cloud VMware Solution provides a customer managed, native VMware-based cloud environment, installed within a customer’s tenancy. It offers complete control using familiar VMware tools. Move or extend VMware-based workloads to the cloud without rearchitecting applications or retooling operations.
Business and technology experts from Oracle and VMware offer perspectives on why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is the ideal platform for VMware workloads.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is a tool that makes migrating your entire VMware environment quick, easy, and painless. Learn how Oracle’s solution can help your business.
Learn how a VMware Cloud Verified environment can help ease the burden of IT management for enterprises running VMware workloads.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution enables enterprises to quickly migrate their VMware environments from existing data centre hardware to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure whilst retaining tooling, best practices and familiar operational practices.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution provides customers with self-service provisioning and full administrative permissions—including root access. This provides complete control over the entire hardware and software environment.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is a single-tenant solution—perfect for customers whose workloads demand isolated infrastructure. This avoids the resource contention found in competitive, multitenant environments.
Reduce risks with Oracle Cloud's security-first architecture that uses built-in tenant isolation, zero trust access, and data encryption at rest. With no managed service security implications to consider, access is private and entirely under the customer’s control.
VMware-based applications running on-premises can be managed using the same single, integrated view as on OCI.
No retraining requiredCustomers can leverage their IT team’s existing skill sets and the tools they already use on-premises—including vSphere, vCenter Server, vSAN, NSX, and HCX.
Extend tested and proven on-premises IT deployment architectures and processes. Configure cloud environments to match on-premises to keep them in sync.
Rely on VMware best practices with native tool integration and minimize disruption during cloud migration.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution allows customers to move VMware workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) without modification. Customers gain scale and agility while maintaining continuity with existing VMware-based tools, processes, and policies.
Innovate on your timelineMigrate applications without making changes, then leverage OCI’s services, such as Oracle Autonomous Database or chatbots, to modernize applications.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is built for enterprise applications supported on VMware and running on enterprise-class server processors, including applications from Oracle and other enterprise platforms.
Disaster recovery where neededOracle Cloud VMware Solution is deployable into all commercial (nongovernmental) Oracle Cloud Regions. Replicate or back up to any region.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is VMware Cloud Verified. Customers can run VMware Cloud Foundation on Oracle’s next-generation cloud and retain full VMware administrative access and compatibility using VMware vCenter.
Rely on a single VMware specification that works both on-premises and in the cloud. Avoid effort spent porting applications, refactoring code, or resolving configuration differences.
Use native and familiar VMware tools to manage infrastructure and migration needs to minimize organizational impact.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is designed to work with your existing VMware skill set and tooling.
For current customers, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution offers flexible compute instances that are available as X7 dense 52-core Intel Xeon and E4 dense third-generation AMD EPYC processors. Customize these shapes with 32-, 64-, and 128-core configurations with 2.7X to 3.5X more storage per host than other offerings.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution now offers Intel flexible compute options, including BM.Standard2.x and BM.Standard3.x. These processors can run from 2.0 GHz to 3.4 GHz and have up to 1 TB of RAM. They can scale up to 8 hosts per cluster, can scale vertically or horizontally, and are available in up to 64-core configurations.
Similar to the Intel Xeon processors, the new AMD EPYC BM.Standard.E4.x can run between 2.55 GHz and 3.5 GHz (turbo). The AMD EPYC processor has up to 2 TB RAM, can scale up to 8 hosts per cluster, and is available in 32-, 64-, 96-, and 128-core configurations.
Customers now have access to block storage. They can deploy the exact amount of storage at the performance level their workloads require without the need to overprovision. At any time, block volume size and performance can be changed—you reconfigure them without disruption to the VMware clusters and their workloads.
Secure Boot and the Trusted Platform Module provide built-in security against ransomware attacks. This ensures only valid and authenticated software is enabled and hardens the firmware security of ESXi instances.
VMware Certified NFSv3 Cloud Datastore is designed for disaster recovery and backup use cases and offers an elastic and secure enterprise-grade secondary storage solution for VMware workloads to native Oracle storage.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring and Notifications enable users to create user-defined alarms, define severity, and push notifications to SMS, PagerDuty, or Slack.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution’s bare metal compute instances provide customers with 156 cores—the highest CPU core count available for any VMware-based solution in the market today.
Scale large VMware deployments from three nodes to the current VMware limit of 64 hosts to accommodate growth.
VMware Cloud Verified and compatible with the VMware ecosystem.
Oracle virtual cloud networks (VCNs) provide customizable and private networks, just like traditional data center networks. Easily access adjacent Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cloud services from the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution environment.
Customers can scale their workloads up to a maximum cluster size of 64 nodes and 64 PB of storage—the largest footprint in the market. The customer remains in complete control of these clusters, with the same visibility, tool support, and access as with on-premises clusters.
New configuration options reduce the minimum deployment size by about two-thirds, from 96 cores per node to 36 cores per node. As a result, customers can migrate smaller VMware clusters to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution for various use cases.
Disaster recovery with policy-based management ensures fast and highly predictable recovery times. Site Recovery Manager automates orchestration and integrates natively with VMware vSphere Replication.

“Entel migrated over 60 production applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, including our mission-critical customer engagement, business intelligence, and risk management systems. We have a strong technical team, including many VMware experts, so a managed VMware service is not helpful. We need administrative access to the VMware software so we can maintain control of every aspect of the VMware environment. Oracle Cloud VMware Solution offers my team the exact same VMware experience they had in the data center but with cloud elasticity and access to Oracle Cloud services, providing a fast, easy, and cost-effective path to migrate our VMware-based applications to the cloud. As a result, performance has increased dramatically, and downtime is close to zero.”Helder Branco, Chief Technology Officer, Entel
