The standard workplace has evolved over the past decade. With current events, the workplace has continued to adapt and re-invent itself more quickly than ever before. It is now essential for companies to continuously discover improved ways to conduct their business and thrive in the new normal. In order to do so, they need a cloud infrastructure that delivers high-performance computing power to run cloud native and enterprise IT workloads.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), is a next-generation cloud which enables you to run complex and demanding workloads at scale. It offers you control over costs, governance, and security while delivering complete automation. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key advantages and integrated platform services offered with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Enabling the Autonomous Enterprise
Autonomous systems are self-governing, which means they can carry out multiple automated sequences without human initiation or intervention. The AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities of Oracle Cloud work behind the scenes, all of the time, to keep your information systems running optimally. And best of all, you can take advantage of these sophisticated cloud capabilities without having to develop advanced skills.
Our next-generation cloud infrastructure serves as the foundational infrastructure for Oracle Autonomous Database. Oracle Autonomous Database automates all routine tasks: patching, backups, scalability, and tuning. This level of database automation reduces human error and reduces risks. It provides self-security capabilities and lowers costs with auto-scaling capabilities.
Secure by Design
Cloud technologies such as AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) enable organizations to drive innovation and reduce costs. However, these innovations can expand the threat landscape and the potential for increased risks.
Oracle has been building security into its solutions and protecting customers’ sensitive data for decades. It’s focused on automation and reducing the complexity of operating securely in the cloud. Oracle Security pursues a layered, security-first approach; one that begins with securing the core data repositories, followed by layered controls within the application ecosystem to detect and prevent attacks.
Integrated Cloud Services
Oracle Integration provides intelligent automation and integration to enable your digital transformation. Businesses can leverage Oracle Integration platform to easily integrate applications such as Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle Engagement Cloud, Oracle Marketing Cloud, Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards—and many non-Oracle applications, including Salesforce, ServiceNow, and SAP.
Open Development Environment
Oracle offers an open, standards-based application development platform, enabling you to build, deploy, and manage applications. The platform gives you the ability to use containers, microservices, API-based and serverless architectures, ML, and DevOps processes and tools. It also boosts developer productivity by embedding integration, automation, and AI tools. Additionally, it supports all major open-source tools and technologies, as well as modern programming languages such as Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js, and C#/. NET.
Predictive, Data-driven Insights
Solving today’s problems has never been more important, as organizations need to be able to analyze all available data, of any size, in any location. When it comes to analytics, Oracle gives customers a way to connect multiple data sources. Oracle Analytics combines embedded ML and AI to augment and automate the entire analytics process. This changes the way information is collected and processed, providing organizations with faster, self-service access to both data and analytics. Businesses gain comprehensive business intelligence with augmented analytics to help their organization grow through unique insights.
