Singapore, August 15, 2017 ­–
Oracle today announced that Oracle Exadata Cloud is now available on Oracle’s next-generation cloud infrastructure.
The marriage of Oracle Exadata, the highest performing on-premises and public
cloud database platform, with Oracle Cloud’s unique bare metal compute and
storage services, delivers a combination of performance and availability for
the entire application stack that only Oracle can deliver. These integrated and
fully programmable cloud services enhance all stages of application development
and deployment through faster connectivity, provisioning, processing, and
database access with unmatched technology and industry-leading price
performance.

“Oracle’s next-generation cloud infrastructure is
optimized for enterprise workloads and now supports Oracle Exadata, the most
powerful database platform,” said Kash Iftikhar, vice president of product
management, Oracle. “With the power of Oracle Exadata, customers using our
infrastructure are able to bring applications to the cloud never previously
possible, without the cost of re-architecture, and achieve incredible
performance throughout the stack. From front-end application servers to
database and storage, we are optimizing our customers’ most critical
applications.”

With the increased levels of speed and availability
now possible, high-demand applications such as those utilizing real-time
targeting, analytics, or personalization now run in the cloud with extreme
performance. Only Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers: self-provisioning of
multiple bare metal servers in less than five minutes with each supporting over
4 million IOPS[i], block storage that
linearly scales by 60 IOPS per GB, and now Oracle Exadata Cloud on the same low
latency Virtual Cloud Networks. This combination of features enables
applications to run at unparalleled speed. In addition, only Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure offers complete compatibility with Oracle Databases deployed
on-premises, helping ensure a smooth transition to the cloud, and an efficient
hybrid cloud strategy. Oracle Exadata Cloud has expanded its geographical
footprint into the US West (Phoenix, Ariz.) region, further enabling
organizations worldwide to experience all the benefits of this high-performance
system in the cloud, without the burden of managing and maintaining it
internally.

“FICO provides real-time fraud, risk
management and compliance software solutions to thousands of banks around the
globe,” said Doug Clare, vice president for product marketing, FICO. “These
clients, including the world’s largest financial institutions, demand the
highest levels of solution performance, reliability, and security. When we
needed to extend the performance of one of our key compliance risk applications
to even higher throughput and resiliency standards, we looked to Oracle, who
has been a reliable partner to FICO for many years. In our testing, the combination
of Oracle Exadata and bare metal compute running on Oracle’s next-generation
cloud infrastructure allowed us to set a new high water mark in performance for
this mission-critical application. We were very impressed with both the
collaboration and the results Oracle was able to provide, and look forward to
bringing these impressive results to our joint clients.”
