What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and Data as a Service (DaaS) capabilities in a single, comprehensive platform. With OCI, Oracle has welded an array of affordably-priced compute, storage, database, networking, and platform services geared towards the enterprise, including small and medium-sized ones.
Complementing these services are technologies such as Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, and Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing. Taken all together, these give OCI the ability to handle large, data-intensive workloads with better security. For organizations transitioning from on-premises data centers to the Cloud, OCI is an ideal solution.
Potential Benefits of Transitioning to Oracle Cloud Applications
Aside from staying current on the latest technology innovations, Oracle Cloud Applications offer business opportunities that outdated legacy systems can’t, including:
- Ability to build on existing, on-premises investments – Organizations that are already heavily invested in on-premises solutions can move them to the Cloud with ease. They have full control over their migration efforts, e.g. virtualization, server and storage setups, and data centre location, but they also have the option to utilize Oracle’s expertise when they need it.
- Lower costs: Oracle Cloud Applications can dramatically reduce expenses, especially when it comes to hardware, maintenance, and IT.
- Agility: Oracle Cloud Applications give organizations the flexibility to respond quickly and easily to changing industry conditions, emerging technologies, and customer demands.
- Scalability: With Oracle Cloud Applications, organizations shouldn’t worry about outgrowing their technology. Each application has built-in scalability that’s been tested in extreme scenarios.
- Higher security: Oracle Cloud Applications are designed for maximum security and reduced risk thanks to self-repairing systems on Oracle’s autonomous database.
Oracle cloud infrastructure comes with transparent data encryption and complies with multifarious regulations including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the International Standard Organization (ISO), and the Service Organization Control (SOC).
- Reduced error: With Oracle’s automated business processes and unified data access, organizations can dramatically reduce errors.
- Open architecture – With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, your organization does not need to be locked to a single vendor. OCI offers cross-cloud support, allowing it to integrate with Microsoft and other cloud providers. You can run both Oracle and non-Oracle workloads, or even just the latter, on OCI, since OCI provides for interoperability through standards compliance. It also supports open-source technology and is programming language-agnostic, allowing it to integrate with DevOps and IT tools from various vendors, and run on both Windows and Linux servers.
- Oracle expertise – For organizations that require assistance in their efforts to transition to the cloud with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle offers help from its experts.
Conclusion
To stay ahead of the curve, organizations resort to innovative technologies that help them procure new customers while serving existing ones optimally. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) comes with striking benefits of easy deployment, multitenancy, reduced operational cost, and higher performance. Moreover, data breaches can have severe repercussions. OCI is an answer to all future scaling strategies of organizations and MonoSpear, with decade-long expertise in the field, helps its clients achieve the benefits seamlessly.
