Oracle Delivers Oracle Infrastructure as a Service

Adding to its cloud portfolio, Oracle Corp. announced Oracle Infrastructure as a Service with capacity on demand.

Oracle IaaS enables organizations to deploy integrated engineered systems, including Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle SPARC SuperCluster, Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine and Oracle Sun ZFS Storage Appliance in their data centers behind their firewall – all for a monthly fee.

Oracle IaaS is an acquisition option for Oracle engineered systems, from a cash-flow, accounting and disposition perspective.

The private cloud infrastructure provides organizations with control and visibility over their IT environments, enabling them to meet internal and regulatory compliance and security requirements.

Oracle IaaS includes compute capacity on demand, enabling customers to add and remove processing capacity to meet their changing workloads, only paying for peak computing power when it is needed.

It includes Oracle engineered systems hardware and services that maximize performance, reliability and security, including Oracle Premier Support for Systems.

In addition, Exadata, Exalogic and SPARC SuperCluster include Oracle Platinum Services and the new Oracle PlatinumPlus Services for Oracle IaaS customers.

The new Oracle PlatinumPlus Services provide quarterly proactive analysis and advisory by experts to identify issues with system performance, security compliance, and system availability, and provide guidance on how to resolve these issues.

Customers can choose to manage the systems themselves or optionally add Oracle Managed Cloud Services for fully managed cloud and application services.

Oracle IaaS is part of the Oracle Private Cloud Services portfolio, which includes a set of integrated applications, platform and infrastructure products and solutions.

"For the first time, customers can get the unmatched performance, scalability and reliability of Oracle Engineered Systems deployed on premise, behind their firewall, for a monthly fee," said Juan Loaiza, SVP, Oracle Software Development. "Oracle IaaS with elastic compute capacity on demand makes it possible for customers to use, and pay for peak processing power only when they need it, and get the highest level of support with the new Oracle PlatinumPlus Services."
