Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is built to deliver consistent high performance for demanding enterprise workloads. File Storage is a fully-managed cloud storage service where read and write throughput and IOPs increase proportionally to the size of a file system. This means as you add more data, you can expect a corresponding growth in performance. File Storage eliminates over-provisioning for performance and low utilization of purchased capacity that are typical in on-premises environments, resulting in significant cost reduction as well as lower management overhead. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage allows customers to stop managing individual storage appliances and volumes manually. This frees them up from worry and effort around capacity management, hardware refreshes, software upgrades, and system and component failures.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage is a cost-effective and easy-to-manage solution for hosting enterprise applications, such as E-Business Suite (EBS), PeopleSoft, and Siebel, as well as for deploying and managing clustered file systems for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workloads. Oracle customer YellowDog enables animation studio and visual effects facilities to access tens of thousands of cores of GPUs to deliver intensive rendering workloads within seemingly impossible deadlines. Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage along with a wide range of compute services, they find us to be consistently the easiest to manage compared with other providers or on-premises deployments. As CEO Gareth Williams puts it: “File Storage service is our favourite part of OCI for its simplicity and reliability.”
What other use cases can File Storage help you with?
Big data and analytics workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage benefit from distributed shared file systems for storing persistent data, and for accessing to an unlimited pool of file system capacity for managing growth of both structured and unstructured data, as well as for running Test and Dev workloads.
