IDC MarketScape Worldwide Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2025

Why We Believe Oracle was Recognized

IDC MarketScape’s vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of technology and suppliers in a market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology, based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria, that results in a single graphical illustration of each supplier’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures supplier product, go-to-market, and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a timeframe of 3–5 years. The supplier market share is represented by the size of the icons.

IDC MarketScape noted, “The partnerships with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are a strong differentiator, allowing Oracle to address multicloud needs effectively. With increasing numbers of regions interconnected with Azure and Google Cloud already, Oracle has strengthened its ability to cater to customers looking for a hybrid or multicloud approach.”

Oracle Exadata Database Service and Autonomous Database have been made available within other hyperscalers’ data centers to offer customers the ability to place their enterprise data next to application services for minimum latency while simplifying management of data, no matter where it’s located. These solutions are complemented by Oracle Cloud Interconnects with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud to accelerate application migration and modernization through private, low-latency connections with no data transfer fees. These partnerships highlight Oracle’s commitment to a multicloud architecture. Oracle’s Multicloud Solutions offer customers maximum flexibility, choice, and control over their data and applications, across all hyperscalers.

The company has continued its OCI expansion, growing to 50 public cloud regions across 24 countries, with more sites planned across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia/Pacific. Its rapid rollout of OCI regions is enabled by a standardized software stack. Oracle can commit to such a rapid rollout with a unique, standardized stack that’s right-sized to the segment and can scale quickly. This modular design enables Oracle to enter more markets, earlier, while keeping costs the same across all global OCI Public Cloud regions.

This same design is available in Oracle’s Dedicated Region offering, for customers who need the full suite of over 150 OCI services but prefer for it to be deployed in their own data center or the on-premises location of their choice, to support data sovereignty, residency, privacy, or high-performance, low-latency workload requirements. Oracle Alloy uses the Dedicated Region deployment model and enables partners to become cloud providers themselves, offering a full range of cloud services that can address their specific market needs.

OCI offers a full portfolio of compute, storage, and networking services and Oracle Database, AI, and serverless capabilities. Oracle recently announced a new suite of the highest performance AI infrastructure with powerful security and sovereignty controls for AI companies with the most advanced requirements. This suite includes the world’s first zettascale AI supercomputer, available with up to 131,072 NVIDIA GPUS—more than three times as many GPUs as the Frontier supercomputer.
