    World of Solutions, Booth #3556, Las Vegas, NV 

OCI is a comprehensive platform of public cloud services that enable customers to build and run a wide range of applications in a scalable, secure, highly available, and high-performance environment. Oracle offers more than 80 cloud infrastructure and platform services you need to migrate, build, and run all your IT, from existing enterprise workloads to new cloud-native applications and data platforms. Additionally, OCI offers DRCC (Dedicated Region Cloud @Customer) to bring all of the benefits and features of Oracle Cloud directly to your on-premises data center. With DRCC, enterprises can easily consolidate mission-critical database systems, along with applications that were previously installed on expensive hardware and deploy it on the highly available and secure Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – creating operational efficiencies and modernization opportunities.

OCI is available wherever you need it. We are the fastest growing public cloud, with 37 cloud regions in 20 countries (7 new regions by the end of 2022), most of which offer direct backbone support to our enterprise-grade Oracle SaaS applications.

OCI is a cost-effective, high-performance cloud platform

OCI offers a high-performance cost-effective cloud network platform with comprehensive network functions. The diagram shows a typical OCI Network deployment for a customer who has multi-region, and hybrid cloud applications and need secure private accesses to OCI services.

With OCI’s LBaaS, NLB and FWaaS, customers don’t have to deploy and manage their own firewalls or load balancers. Instead, they can just consume and go, as these services are managed by Oracle. It greatly simplifies their cloud networks and reduces the operational overhead. OCI is also an IPv6 ready cloud platform. With OCI, customers can deploy IPv4/IPv6 dual stack networks. They can use OCI allocated IPv6 global unique addresses, or bring their own IPv6 addresses with OCIs BYOIP Service , or use IPv6 Unique Local Addresses.

OCI simplifies your enterprise cloud operations

With OCI Network Visualizer, we provide you a service that allows you to visualize the network topology associated with your tenancy. This feature is available in all commercial regions at no extra cost. Network Visualizer takes your current topology and abstracts it into a visual model. Through interaction with this model, you can obtain detailed resource information for each component, allowing you to view and manage the configuration of selected components with a single click from the resource information screen.

Oracle Cloud Network Path Analyzer takes both routing connectivity information and policy configuration and provides a visualization of the network path. It is a powerful new tool for you to efficiently troubleshoot endpoint reachability issues in their hybrid and Oracle Cloud networks. Network Path Analyzer can also help you validate your network configuration and to proactively prevent reachability-related outages due to misconfiguration during the initial deployment or ongoing configuration change management.

Virtual cloud network (VCN) flow logs keep detailed metadata records of every flow that passes through your (VCN) and presents this data for analysis in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging service. This data includes information about the source and destination of the traffic, along with the volume of traffic and the accept or reject policy action taken, based on your network security rules. You can use this information for network monitoring, troubleshooting, and compliance. Through native cloud integration with the Logging service, you can view, search, export, and stream log files to your on-premises SIEM.

VTAP for Oracle Cloud copies traffic that traverses a specific point in the network and sends the mirrored traffic to a network packet collector or network analytics tool for further analysis. VTAP supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic mirroring. You can decide to mirror all traffic at this source or use a capture filter to only mirror traffic you’re interested in. Mirrored traffic is then sent to a VTAP target network load balancer, behind which you can host the monitoring tool of your choice where it can be captured or inspected in real time.
