Oracle Unveils Suite of Breakthrough Services to Help Simplify Cloud Adoption by Global Corporations

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. – April 1, 2016 –
Oracle has launched a new family of offerings designed
to enable organizations to easily move to the cloud and remove some of the
biggest obstacles to cloud adoption. These first-of-a-kind services provide
CIOs with new choices in where they deploy their enterprise software and a
natural path to easily move business critical applications from on-premises to
the cloud.

While organizations
are eager to move their enterprise workloads to the public cloud, many have
been constrained by business, legislative and regulatory requirements that have
prevented them from being able to adopt the technology. Oracle is making it
easier for organizations in every industry to make this transition and finally
reap the performance, cost and innovation benefits of Oracle Public Cloud
Services and run them wherever they want – in the Oracle Cloud or in their own
datacenter.

“We are committed to helping our customers move to the
cloud to help speed their innovation, fuel their business growth, and drive
business transformation,” said Thomas Kurian, president, Oracle. “Today’s news
is unprecedented.  We announced a number of new cloud services and we are
now the first public cloud vendor to offer organizations the ultimate in choice
on where and how they want to run their Oracle Cloud.” 

Oracle Cloud at Customer enables organizations to get
all of the benefits of Oracle’s cloud services – agility, simplicity,
performance, elastic scaling, and subscription pricing – in their datacenter.
This is the first 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. 

By extending the Oracle Cloud into their data
center, customers can:

–        Have
full control over their data and meet all data sovereignty and data residency
requirements that mandate customer data remain within a company’s data center
or contained within a geographic location while still taking advantage of the
benefits of the cloud

–        Enable
workload portability between on-premises and cloud using identical
environments, toolsets, and APIs

–        Easily
move Oracle and non-Oracle workloads between on-premises and the cloud based on
their changing business requirements

–        Comply with security and privacy
regulations such as PCI-DSS for the global credit and debit card industry,
HIPAA for the US healthcare industry, FedRAMP for the US federal government,
Germany’s Federal Data Protection Act, the United Kingdom’s Data Protection
Act, and other industry- and country-specific regulations

Oracle is announcing
the availability of the following Oracle Cloud at Customer services:

–        Infrastructure: Provides elastic compute, elastic
block storage, virtual networking, file storage, messaging, and identity
management to enable portability of Oracle and non-Oracle workloads into the
cloud. Additional IaaS services that complete the portfolio, including Containers
and Elastic Load Balancer will be available soon.

–        Data Management: Enables customers to use the
number one database to manage data infrastructure in the cloud with the Oracle
Database Cloud.  The initial set of Database Cloud Service offerings will
be followed by Oracle Database as a Service – Exadata for extreme performance
and a broad set of Big Data Cloud services, including Big Data Discovery, Big
Data Preparation, Hadoop, and Big Data SQL.

–        Application Development: Develop and deploy Java
applications in the cloud using Oracle Java Cloud, soon to be followed by other
services for polyglot development in Java SE, Node.Js, Ruby, and PHP.

–        Enterprise Integration: Simplify integration of
on-premises applications to cloud applications and cloud application to cloud
application integration using the Oracle Integration Cloud Service. 
Additional capabilities for SOA, API Management, and IoT will be added
soon. 

–        Management: Unifies the experience of managing
workloads seamlessly on-premises and in the Oracle Cloud.

The Oracle Cloud has shown strong adoption, supporting
70+ million users and more than 34 billion transactions each day. It runs in 19
data centers around the world.
