About Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

Oracle set an ambitious goal in building its second-generation cloud infrastructure: to create an infrastructure that matches and surpasses the performance, control and governance of enterprise datacenters, while delivering the scale, elasticity, and cost-savings of public clouds. As a result, OCI is built from the ground up to be an Enterprise Cloud, equally capable of running traditional multi-tiered enterprise applications, high-performance workloads, and modern serverless and container-based architectures.

OCI serves as the foundational layer for Oracle Autonomous Database, as well as for Oracle’s platform and application services. It is designed to run any enterprise application and workload securely in the cloud. In a single offering, OCI combines the flexibility and cost benefits of a public cloud with the predictability and control of an on-premises environment.
