Oracle Cloud is the cloud computing platform operated by Oracle Corporation, one of the world's largest enterprise software companies. Oracle launched its second-generation cloud infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), in 2016, representing a ground-up rebuild designed to meet the demanding performance, security, and cost requirements of enterprise workloads. Founded by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates in 1977, Oracle has been a dominant force in enterprise database and business software for decades, and its cloud platform leverages this deep enterprise expertise. OCI differentiates itself through superior price-performance for database workloads, particularly Oracle Database and Oracle Autonomous Database, making it the natural cloud destination for the millions of organizations running Oracle software. The platform offers a full range of IaaS and PaaS services including compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, AI infrastructure, and a comprehensive suite of SaaS applications covering ERP, HCM, SCM, and CX through Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. Oracle has aggressively expanded its cloud regions, operating over 48 public cloud regions globally along with dedicated and government cloud regions. The company's multi-cloud partnerships with Microsoft Azure and AWS allow customers to run Oracle Database workloads with low-latency connectivity to other clouds. Oracle Cloud has seen rapid growth driven by demand for AI training infrastructure, with major customers including generative AI companies that leverage OCI's GPU supercluster capabilities.
