REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 8,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by strong customer
demand, Oracle today announced Oracle Dedicated Region
Cloud@Customer, the industry's first fully-managed cloud region
that brings all of Oracle's second-generation cloud services,
including Autonomous Database and Oracle Cloud applications, to
customer datacenters, starting at only $500K a month. Get started here.
With this offering, enterprises get the exact same complete set
of modern cloud services, APIs, industry-leading SLAs, superior
price-performance, and highest levels of security available from
Oracle's public cloud regions in their own datacenters. This is
ideal for highly regulated or security-focused businesses needing
to meet demanding latency and data residency requirements, reduce
operational costs, and modernize legacy applications.
Over the past few years, enterprise adoption of public clouds
has gone mainstream as companies took advantage of the
pay-as-you-go economics, scale, and agility of cloud computing.
However, most enterprises expect to continue to run a portion of
their workloads in on-premises datacenters for the foreseeable
future. This has resulted in strong demand from customers for a
hybrid architecture where the same services, same functionality,
and easy portability of applications exists between their public
and on-premises cloud environments. But until today, no solution
was able to bridge the gap between cloud and on-premises
environments. On-premises offerings from other cloud providers
offer a very small subset of the services available in their public
cloud regions. With today's announcement, Oracle is making all of
its cloud services -- more than 50 services -- available
on-premises so enterprises can use Oracle's cloud services wherever
they need them – in the cloud or on-premises via
Cloud@Customer.
"Enterprise customers have told us that they want the full
experience of a public cloud on-premises, including access to all
of Oracle's cloud services, to run their most important workloads,"
said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice
president of engineering, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With Oracle
Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, enterprises get all of our
second-generation cloud services, including Autonomous Database, in
their datacenters. Our major competitors can't offer customers a
comparable dedicated cloud region running on-premises."
Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer includes full management
capabilities and access to new features and functions the moment
they become available in Oracle's public cloud. It provides strong
isolation of customer data, including all API operations, which
remain local to customer datacenters and provide the highest levels
of security. Additionally, Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer
is certified to seamlessly run Oracle Cloud applications, including
Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications (Cloud ERP, Cloud HCM, Cloud SCM,
and Cloud CX, making it a completely integrated cloud experience
on-premises. Customers only pay for services they consume using the
same predictable low pricing offered in Oracle's public cloud
regions.
"With Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, Oracle delivers a slice
of its public cloud experience into customer datacenters, with no
changes in pricing or capabilities," said Deepak Mohan, Research Director at IDC. "This
represents a new direction for public cloud providers, who have
historically offered only limited versions of their services to
customer premises. Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer brings
the full capabilities of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle
Fusion Cloud Applications, including over 50 services, to customer
premises. This brings together public cloud service capability with
the compliance, latency and co-location benefits of on premises –
which can be a game changer for large scale digital transformation
efforts at enterprises."

only provide SOC2 reports based on Japanese security standards in
