REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Feb. 27,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing to help organizations
simplify cloud adoption by bringing the benefits of the cloud
inside their own datacenters, Oracle today announced the expansion
of the Oracle Cloud at Customer portfolio with the availability of
Oracle Exadata Cloud Machine. With today's news, Oracle is
offering organizations the ultimate in choice and flexibility in
where they deploy the world's most advanced database cloud for
mission-critical workloads. Organizations can now deploy Oracle
Exadata in a number of ways, including as a cloud service inside
their own datacenter, in the Oracle Cloud, and in a traditional
on-premises environment.
Since its introduction just over a year ago, Oracle Cloud at
Customer has seen tremendous popularity as organizations look for
ways to bridge the gap between the public cloud and on-premises in
their journey to the cloud. While organizations look forward
to moving their enterprise workloads to the public cloud, many have
been constrained by business, legislative, and regulatory
requirements that have prevented them from moving their data and
applications outside their own datacenter. Oracle Exadata Cloud
Machine delivers the full power of the Oracle Exadata Cloud Service
that resides in Oracle's public cloud to customers who require or
prefer their databases to be located on-premises.
"Oracle Exadata Cloud Machine is an ideal platform for
organizations that want the benefits of the cloud brought to their
datacenter," said Juan Loaiza,
senior vice president of systems technologies, Oracle. "For many
years, Oracle Exadata has been the platform of choice for running
mission critical Oracle databases at thousands of customers, and
the Oracle Exadata Cloud Machine extends this value proposition to
those customers who want cloud benefits but cannot or aren't yet
ready to move to a public cloud."
With Oracle Exadata Cloud Machine, customers have subscription
access to the most powerful Oracle Database with all options and
features, like Real Application Clusters, Database In-Memory,
Active Data Guard and Advanced Security, offering extremely high
levels of performance, availability and security features for
mission-critical workloads. Additionally, the Oracle Exadata
Cloud Machine is 100 percent compatible with on-premises and Oracle
Cloud applications and databases, ensuring any existing application
can be quickly migrated to the cloud without changes.
The Oracle Exadata Cloud Service and Oracle Exadata Cloud
Machine provide leading functionality, including:
- Mission-critical database for OLTP, analytics, mixed workloads,
and consolidation - all options included
- Highly proven database hardware platform with NVMe Flash,
InfiniBand networking, and the fastest servers
- Intelligent database platform with Smart Database Algorithms in
storage, networking, and compute
- Advanced database cloud platform with subscription based
pricing and real-time online capacity bursting
- Flexible cloud that can be deployed in Oracle's public cloud or
inside the customer's data center with Oracle managing all
infrastructure
- Simple and straightforward migration to the cloud - software
and hardware are identical and 100 percent compatible
"Every IT organization is making plans to move to the public
cloud, and Oracle customers are no different," said Carl Olofson, Research Vice President for
structured data management software at IDC. "The Oracle Cloud at
Customer program provides a means of transitioning to the cloud by
starting right in the datacenter, thereby maintaining direct
interaction with the applications that remain on the premises. The
Oracle Exadata Cloud Machine extends that capability with all the
features of Exadata, managed remotely by the Oracle Cloud team. It
is a great first step toward eventual cloud deployment."
The Oracle Cloud at Customer portfolio of services enables
organizations to get all of the benefits of Oracle's public cloud
services in their datacenter. The business model is just like a
public cloud subscription; the hardware and software is the same;
Oracle experts monitor and manage the infrastructure; and the same
tools used in Oracle's public cloud are used to provision resources
on the Cloud Machine. This is the only offering from a major
public cloud vendor that delivers a stack that is 100 percent
compatible with the Oracle Cloud but available on-premises. Since
the software is seamless with the Oracle Cloud, customers can use
it for a number of use cases, including disaster recovery, elastic
bursting, dev/test, lift-and-shift workload migration, and a single
API and scripting toolkit for DevOps. Additionally, as a fully
managed Oracle offering, customers get the same experience and the
latest innovations and benefits using it in their datacenter as in
the Oracle Cloud.
