OCI Dedicated Regions brings the full public
cloud to more customers and more customer data centers with a new,
smaller infrastructure footprint and lower price
Compute Cloud@Customer brings rack-scale OCI
compute and storage services to customer sites
Global organizations, including Nomura
Research Institute (NRI) and Vodafone, use OCI Dedicated Region to
run critical workloads while retaining data and service
control
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is meeting customers where they are
with the introduction today of a lower entry point for OCI
Dedicated Region and a preview of Compute Cloud@Customer services,
bringing more than 100 OCI public cloud services into customers'
data centers. These new services will help customers meet strict
latency, data residency, and data sovereignty requirements that are
key to many IT modernization efforts. Customers including NRI and
Vodafone have chosen OCI Dedicated Region to gain the full
functionality of the public OCI cloud in the locations of their
choice.
"Distributed cloud is the next evolution of cloud computing, and
it provides customers with much more flexibility and control in how
they deploy cloud resources," said Dave
McCarthy, research vice president, Cloud and Edge
Infrastructure Services, IDC. "Customers are no longer restricted
by location choices, data sovereignty, data residency, or latency.
OCI's distributed cloud services offer more capabilities than
anyone else in the industry and place all the benefits of the
public cloud directly inside a customer's data center while still
being managed remotely by OCI."
New OCI Services Delivering More Flexibility and Control for
Organizations
Customers across the globe and across
industries, including financial services, public sector,
healthcare, and logistics, have adopted OCI to support their cloud
transformations without the trade-offs in scale, data sovereignty,
security, and control that they have had to make in the past. The
new services include:
- OCI Dedicated Region at a lower entry point: The new OCI
Dedicated Region requires 60-75% less data center space and power
on average, with a significantly lower entry price of around
$1 million a year for a typical
customer. A wider range of customers can now gain the agility,
economics, and scale of the public cloud in their own data centers.
OCI Dedicated Region gives customers a complete cloud region in
their data center with all the benefits of OCI's public cloud.
Commercial and public sector customers are deploying OCI Dedicated
Region to host applications and data that require strict data
residency, control, and security; or to remain in specific
locations for low-latency connectivity and data-intensive
processing. Dedicated Regions can also be extended (like Oracle's
public cloud regions) in hybrid architectures using Roving Edge
Infrastructure.
- OCI Compute Cloud@Customer preview: Today, we're
previewing OCI Compute Cloud@Customer which is a rack-scale
solution meant for smaller environments than OCI Dedicated Region.
Compute Cloud@Customer will enable organizations to run
applications on OCI-compatible compute, storage, and networking in
their data centers, fully managed as a service from an OCI Region
and using OCI's cost-effective consumption model to streamline
operations and reduce costs. With OCI Dedicated Region, Exadata
Cloud@Customer, and Compute Cloud@Customer, organizations use the
same OCI managed hardware and software in their data centers and
OCI Regions. Developers and IT managers will utilize the same APIs
and management tools to create a consistent user experience,
irrespective of where services are running. Organizations can more
easily develop, deploy, secure, and manage a single set of software
across a wide range of distributed cloud environments.
"Customers have told us that they need cloud without compromise
with privacy, security, data residency, and data sovereignty.
Current solutions only address a subset of these needs, such as
providing limited cloud capabilities or giving a few public cloud
locations," said Clay Magouyrk,
executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Oracle's
approach to distributed cloud addresses all these customer
requirements with a full portfolio of different deployment models
from public cloud to full cloud on-premises."
"At Telefónica de España, a global telecom provider with
369 million subscribers, we have partnered with Oracle to support
our mission-critical telecom operations," said Fidel
Jesús Fernández, director, Technologies and IT Transformation,
Telefónica España. "We are excited about the new
announcement of Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer that will enable us
to extend our current IT architectures
across public and hybrid cloud infrastructure,
enhancing the robustness and flexibility of our
production and disaster recovery environments. With
compatibility across public cloud, connected hybrid cloud, and
disconnected cloud platforms, we can develop-once and deploy
anywhere for easy migration of workloads between cloud and
on-premises to meet the changing needs of our business."
OCI's Distributed Cloud Strategy Brings Services Where
Customers Need Them
The OCI Region is operated as
commercial and government public cloud in 38 regions,
which can be interconnected with other clouds
for multicloud architectures, or act as the
control plane for hybrid cloud offerings. The OCI
Region can also be deployed in the customer data
center as a dedicated, single tenant cloud in a repeatable
way. OCI's deployment options can include the functionality of
all 100+ OCI services, or just a subset, with the required
location choice, performance, security, compliance, and
operational models. Together these deployment options comprise
OCI's distributed cloud.
