In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to enhance their operations, improve efficiency, and stay ahead of the competition. Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative force, enabling organizations to achieve unprecedented agility and scalability. Among the myriad of cloud providers, Oracle Cloud stands out as a comprehensive and robust solution that empowers businesses to thrive in the digital era. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the top 6 reasons why adopting Oracle Cloud could be a game-changer for your organization.

#1 Oracle delivers a second-generation cloud

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers tools and architecture that help enterprises seamlessly move from on premise to the cloud, leveraging improved automation and built-in security to mitigate threats, ultimately supporting superior economics.

OCI addresses key issues associated with first-generation cloud solutions, which were not developed to handle large financial systems, government workloads, or data-intensive applications. First-generation cloud solutions were built on decade-old technology in which performance, security, and migration options were afterthoughts. OCI’s next-gen architecture specifically meets the needs of today’s enterprise by providing faster and more predictable performance, better pricing and security, and enhanced compatibility for enterprise workloads.

Oracle is the only provider that delivers IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services as part of its second-generation cloud offering. And Oracle Autonomous Database services leverage the same high-speed network as other OCI services—enabling you to deploy mission-critical applications rapidly in support of continuous innovation.

#2 Oracle Cloud supports your long-term plans

OCI represents a fundamentally new, second-generation public-cloud architecture that serves as the foundational layer for Oracle Cloud. The infrastructure is specifically designed to provide the performance predictability, secure by design security, and governance required to support mission-critical, performance-intensive workloads. Oracle Cloud provides the compute, storage, networking, and platform services that you need to deliver robust business outcomes as you rethink your data center needs.

#3 Capabilities to optimize performance

Oracle’s IaaS offering delivers a diverse range of capabilities unmatched in the industry—from its second-generation platform and suite of bare metal services to remote direct memory access (RDMA) for technical computing clusters. This differentiation enables OCI’s guarantee on both predictable performance and customer isolation.

OCI also opens the door to new innovations such as Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing. Autonomous workloads run best on an infrastructure designed to provide low latency, high availability, resiliency, and consistent performance. This means your data is stored in Oracle’s object storage and multiple copies are automatically replicated—providing high availability and resiliency. Oracle’s autonomous self-repairing capabilities ensure that your data remains healthy and users can always access the last-known reliable version.

#4 Defense in depth

Security is a key design principle within OCI. Oracle offers secure by design protection such as customer isolation, data security, internal-threat detection, and highly automated threat remediation. Oracle’s infrastructure isolates compute and network resources to ensure that your personal data and traffic are shielded from other users. It also separates your code, data, and resources from management machines thereby preventing attackers from stealing or manipulating data in the cloud.

Oracle Cloud presents a limited attack surface through granular customer isolation. Layers of defense with built-in firewalls, DDoS, and encryption proactively detect and stop threats. Customers can establish identity at the new perimeter and use adaptive authentication to automatically add further verification when user activity indicates higher levels of risk. Finally, Oracle has one of the industry’s broadest portfolio of security services, spanning cloud and on-premise solutions.

#5 Optimized for Oracle workloads

OCI offers several unique features and tools that support migrating and running Oracle’s databases and business applications portfolio efficiently. Minimal changes are required to move Oracle applications, reducing the cost and length of migration to the cloud. It’s Oracle’s priority to offer the latest hardware and technologies, improving performance for customers consistently.

OCI offers a suite of migration, provisioning, and management tools for key Oracle applications including Oracle E-Business Suite, and Oracle’s PeopleSoft, Siebel, and JD Edwards, as well as for customizations and associated databases, helping customers expedite their transition to cloud. Specifically, for Autonomous Database, OCI optimizes analytics and transaction processing workloads. It is purpose-built to run ML. workloads to deliver Al-based insights, enabling the customer to connect multiple data sources and bring together key data to support. informed business decisions.

#6 Get comprehensive support for app development

Oracle innovates at a rapid pace and offers an open, standards-based, and fully integrated application development platform that allows you to build, deploy, and manage modern, API- and mobile-first cloud applications cost effectively. In addition, Oracle offers support for container and cloud-native low-code developments.

Oracle’s AppDev platform delivers a comprehensive DevOps environment for continuous integration (CI)/continuous delivery (CD), deep diagnostics for Java applications, and streamlined integration with SaaS and on-premise software.

Wrapping up

Oracle Cloud emerges as a compelling choice for organizations looking to unlock the full potential of cloud computing. With its comprehensive services, robust security, global infrastructure, and commitment to innovation, Oracle Cloud provides a solid foundation for businesses to thrive in the digital age. As the cloud continues to shape the future of technology, embracing Oracle Cloud is a strategic decision that positions organizations for success in an ever-evolving landscape.
