Cloud Networking

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Networking provides secure, low-latency, and high performance connections in your virtual cloud network. Experience on-premises performance in the cloud. Scale your network for AI and HPC applications with thousands of CPUs and GPUs. Protect your workloads with an advanced intrusion detection and prevention firewall.

Learn why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a leader suitable for all your workloads.

OCI Networking offers performance for up to 90% less


1. Experience the performance of on-premises networks in the cloud

OCI Networking brings on-premises capabilities to the cloud, including high bandwidth, low latency, low jitter, and the consistent throughput that enterprise workloads require.

2. Serve data from the cloud for up to 90% less

OCI public data egress rates are significantly lower than other cloud service providers and include 10 TB per month for free. OCI-dedicated FastConnect doesn’t charge for data transmission; it only requires a low, per-hour port charge.

3. Access supercomputing for AI or HPC with far less effort

Run distributed AI and HPC workloads on super large clusters with over 32,000 GPUs on a dedicated, non-blocking network running RDMA over converged ethernet. Leverage networking speeds up to 3.2 Tb/sec with clusters up to 16,000 GPUs.
