OCI Cloud

OCI

You can select specific numbers of CPUs and memory on OCI based on your actual needs

Other Cloud Vendors

Users of other cloud vendors are limited by instance types and cannot truly select the configuration they need.

OCI uses a single standard pricing model across all regions, allowing you to easily forecast cloud expenditure

• memory

  Flexible Compute

  • Flexible compute shapes: Customize OCPU counts and memory size based on actual needs, flexibly adjust, and optimize resource allocation
  • Next-generation general-purpose shapes include AMD E5, AMD E6/E6.Ax, Intel Standard4.Ax, and Ampere A2/A4
  • Dense I/O shapes offer local NVMe SSDs, ideal for databases and big data
  • Bare Metal, GPU, and HPC shapes support AI/ML and high-performance computing
• storage

  High-Performance Storage

  • Block Volumes support online expansion, dynamic performance tuning, and Autotune; expandable up to 1 PB per compute instance
  • File Storage automatically expands to 8 EB, supporting snapshots, cloning, and asynchronous replication
  • Object Storage offers near-infinite scalability and 11 nines of durability; Archive Storage is suitable for long-term retention
  • File Storage with Lustre provides high-throughput shared file services for AI/HPC
• settings_input_antenna

  High-Speed Networking

  • DRG supports static routing, BGP, and transit routing, enabling hub-and-spoke and cross-region connections
  • FastConnect: OCI dedicated line data transfer traffic incurs no extra charge
  • OCI outbound data transfer fees are the lowest among public clouds, reducing overall operational costs
  • Network Firewall, Service Gateway, and Private Endpoint enhance security and private access
• cloud

  Distributed Cloud

  • Brings compute and databases directly to customer data centers to meet local data sovereignty and low-latency needs, supporting multicloud deployment via Oracle Database@AWS / @Azure / @Google Cloud
  • OCI Dedicated Region: Requires as few as three racks to deploy a fully Oracle-operated OCI region in a specified data center
  • Roving Edge Infrastructure: Supports edge, low-latency, and disconnected environments
  • Oracle Alloy: Enables partners to operate their own branded OCI cloud
• payments
