Cloud has become the default operational model for IT, driving agility, innovation, and growth. And according to a cloud study by International Data Corporation, only five percent of respondents have an optimized cloud strategy.
There’s more than one path to the cloud, so it’s hardly surprising that IT leaders sometimes struggle with how to begin their cloud journeys.

Now’s the time to start mapping your journey to the cloud with a robust infrastructure strategy that will help you innovate and transform your business.
What if you had the chance to standardize on a single, enterprise-grade IT infrastructure? What if it delivered public and private cloud options that work together?

Is your IT infrastructure ready for a journey to the cloud?
Every enterprise is different. Use our assessment tool to help you find your unique cloud path. Simply answer a few questions to receive your personalized summary. Many aspects of your IT infrastructure dictate different approaches to the cloud, so feel free to choose multiple options if necessary.
Do you want to improve your enterprise application results, but don't anticipate an imminent move to the cloud?
Do you use a private cloud model for generic, non business-critical applications?
Do you want to reduce DevTest expenses and move to a variable cost model?
Are you tempted by the public cloud model, but deterred by security, privacy, compliance, or data residency issues?
Do you have an immediate need to move workloads to a public cloud?
We understand that a lift and shift to the public cloud might not be a priority for every business—or for every application in your data center. At this point, you’d rather get immediate benefits from a traditional, on-premises environment—particularly if you’re dealing with a complex multivendor IT infrastructure.
With Oracle on-premises infrastructure solutions, moving to the public cloud isn’t the only way to see improvements in performance, availability, manageability, and cost savings. You’ll benefit from a streamlined, on-premises solution optimized for your most demanding applications. And our infrastructure solutions are futureproof, so you’re always prepared for a move to the cloud—even if you aren’t ready to migrate your workloads just yet.
You’ve adopted the private cloud model to consolidate generic, non-critical workloads, but are reluctant to extend this model to your business-critical application portfolio. After all, generic private cloud solutions are designed for generic workloads—not for database, application logic/middleware, or analytics.
Oracle’s private cloud infrastructure solutions are designed for Oracle Database (both development and production) and application/middleware environments, so you’ll benefit from the pooling, automation, and self-service consumption private cloud delivers—all in your enterprise application domain. And our private cloud solutions have compatible public cloud options too, helping to streamline your future transition.
Even if you already have an established private cloud, the pressure is on to incorporate public cloud options—particularly for application development and testing. Compared with your current, in-house approach, it’s a relatively simple way to show cost savings and agility in the cloud.
Embracing aspects of the public cloud could help you increase operational agility and transform your business. With Oracle, you establish a developer environment in Oracle Cloud that matches your production target. And because it’s the same Oracle infrastructure both in the cloud and in your on-premises production environment, we ensure 100 percent compatibility between development and production. Same standards. Same products. Same management.
Some businesses are ready for the benefits a cloud-like operational model can deliver, but security or latency issues prevent adoption.
Only Oracle delivers a simple solution to bring the power of the public cloud into the data center and behind your firewall. It’s now possible to realize the benefits of the public cloud—the agility, integration, cost structure, and development tools—while maintaining the control your business needs.
Moving your workloads to the public cloud could deliver increased speed, agility, and financial flexibility, but not all organizations have the skills to tackle workload migration and data management in the cloud.
Have you considered a phased lift and shift that’s managed for you?
Wherever you are on your path to the cloud, Oracle has a solution that meets your needs, goals, and concerns.
