Oracle has been acknowledged as a Leader in the 2023 "Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure" by Gartner, after a thorough examination of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) solutions.
The tech giant received this accolade following an assessment of OCI offerings that include OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Alloy, Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, and Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer. The evaluation revealed that OCI's distributed cloud suite meets diverse customer needs through its broad spectrum of deployment options that cover multicloud, hybrid, public, and dedicated cloud solutions. "OCI ensures a uniform experience across its distributed cloud ecosystem, providing over 100 cloud services with consistent pricing and service level agreements," according to the company. This consistency enables customers in highly regulated sectors like financial services, healthcare, communications, and government to leverage OCI for various use cases ranging from enterprise applications to AI and IoT.
Senior Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Karan Batta shed some light on OCI's distinct features: “OCI’s distributed cloud is designed to give customers as much choice as possible in where and how they deploy cloud services. Customers trust OCI to run their most demanding workloads and applications, including in their own data centers. Since launching Exadata Cloud@Customer in 2016, OCI has managed distributed hybrid infrastructure at thousands of customer locations worldwide," said Batta.
An article from Oracle highlighted the innovation behind OCI Dedicated Region which was launched in 2019. It offers customers a complete suite of OCI features within their own data centers enabling them to customize cloud operations based on specific regulatory needs. Additionally, Oracle's Exadata Cloud@Customer and Compute Cloud@Customer extend these services to customer data centers while partners can utilize the award-winning platform known as Oracle Alloy to create custom services. With these capabilities along with a public cloud presence spanning across 46 regions in 23 countries including an EU Sovereign Cloud designed for EU data residency requirements shows the comprehensive approach taken by Oracle to meet customer needs.
