Researchers identified an opportunity to revolutionize our cloud approach, distinct from existing models tailored for facilitating web and the scalability of cloud-native applications. Most businesses typically rely on three types of applications: enterprise applications utilizing relational databases, technical applications, and departmental apps. The first two often necessitated adjustments or even complete rewrites for cloud compatibility, while the third was frequently substituted with Software as a Service (SaaS) equivalents. Oracle has dedicated significant efforts to construct fundamental infrastructure services from the ground up, ensuring seamless operation for all five application types. Additionally, Oracle provides an extensive range of cloud applications (SaaS) to cater to diverse departmental and industry-specific needs atop Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Cloud computing refers to the utilization of computer resources, such as servers, data storage, and processing power, over the internet. These resources are available on-demand, eliminating the need for direct human interaction.
The multi-tenant model, where resources are shared across a broad network to serve multiple users, allows for dynamic access based on demand. Consumers only pay for the resources they use. These fundamental features have contributed significantly to the success and appeal of cloud computing.
Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS), Platform as a Service (PAAS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) represent the three cloud service paradigms.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides support for:
- High availability: Ensuring cloud resources are consistently accessible without a single point of failure.
- Disaster Recovery: Facilitating rapid recovery or uninterrupted service in the event of an outage.
- Fault Tolerance: Minimizing downtime to the greatest extent possible.
- Scalability: Enabling the vertical scaling up or down and horizontal scaling in and out of resources.
- Elasticity: The ability to swiftly scale resources, such as virtual machines and storage, in response to demand.
