Multicloud

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) lets you combine cloud services from multiple clouds to optimize cost, functionality, and performance. OCI’s multicloud services help you modernize your databases and applications with unique capabilities, including Oracle’s Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Autonomous Database, paired with leading services from Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). OCI integration services facilitate your SaaS integration with other applications in real time.

Benefits of OCI’s multicloud services

Run your workloads anywhere

Run Oracle’s database services inside Azure without an interconnect for the highest level of performance, scalability, and availability. Alternatively, leverage the best of cloud providers with Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure in 10-plus global regions or OCI FastConnect and its 80-plus partners.
Modernize databases and applications

Run Oracle’s multicloud database services and applications in the same cloud with the full capabilities of Oracle RAC, Autonomous Database, and Oracle Exadata Database Service.
Meet regulatory and data residency needs

Take advantage of OCI’s 40-plus global cloud regions to meet data residency requirements.
Optimize cost, functionality, and performance

Combine services and data from any cloud with rich integration, data replication, and streaming capabilities to run analytics and applications that cost as much as 30% less.
Secure applications and data in depth

Deploy a layered security strategy using built-in cloud identity and access management and data security services with the ability to seamlessly integrate with third-party vendors.
Manage and govern

Establish standard operation and management practices, procedures, and tools across cloud platforms to address multicloud barriers related to people, processes, and technology.
Get certified for multicloud

Take free multicloud training and become an OCI multicloud architect associate.
