Oracle today introduced its latest innovation, Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer, an advanced rack-scale cloud infrastructure solution that empowers organizations to leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) compute services in various environments. 

This technology enables businesses to develop, deploy, secure, and manage workloads utilizing the same software stack as OCI, accommodating deployments ranging from single racks to large-scale infrastructures.

The significance of this development  is that it provides a unified experience regardless of where services are utilized. By launching Compute Cloud@Customer, Oracle is bridging the gap between on-premises and cloud-based services, offering a consistent user experience throughout various deployment scenarios.

Organizations can tap into Oracle’s extensive resources, leveraging the OCI compute, storage, and networking services, alongside adaptable virtual machine (VM) shapes, all within their own data centers. 

Edward Screven, Chief Corporate Architect at Oracle, emphasized the importance of delivering a consistent experience for users, irrespective of their chosen deployment model. “Oracle provides a choice of OCI public cloud regions, Dedicated Region, and Cloud@Customer platforms that customers can combine to create a globally distributed cloud solution,” he said. 

Furthermore, industry expert Ron Westfall, Research Director at The Futurum Group, praised Oracle’s approach, highlighting the comprehensiveness of Compute Cloud@Customer as compared to alternative solutions. “Oracle’s latest Compute Cloud@Customer offering clearly delivers the same compute, storage, networking, APIs, control plane, and a growing list of services that are also available in OCI,” Westfall stated, reinforcing Oracle’s commitment to providing a complete cloud experience.

Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer boasts impressive features, including scalability and flexibility. Starting from 552 processor cores and 150 TB of usable storage, the solution can be seamlessly expanded to accommodate organizations of varying sizes, with the capacity to scale compute and storage independently to over 6,000 processor cores and 3.4 PB of storage. 

Furthermore, data on Compute Cloud@Customer is encrypted, meeting stringent data residency and privacy requirements. The OCI Console allows precise control over data locality, replication, and backups.
