Oracle Database Cloud

Capture the value of the cloud without compromise. Designed for complete integration and optimization with Oracle Cloud Platform, Oracle Database 12c Release 2 helps customers easily set up cloud database environments and migrate data readily between on-premises and cloud deployment.

Oracle’s ongoing hybrid cloud focus helps companies accelerate innovation and reduce time to market by cutting integration and operational complexity.

Drawing on 39 years of data management innovation and a unique ability to optimize the entire stack for peak performance and security, our latest enhancements help customers easily meet service-level agreement requirements, generate rapid ROI, and reduce the risk of data being compromised.

Oracle helps customers of all sizes fully harness the economics of the cloud. From entry-level consumption and pricing models that fit midsize company needs, to enterprise-grade scaling for large-scale implementations, Oracle Cloud Platform supports database cloud services for a wide range of needs.

• Support Effortless Scalability
  Cloud deployments resemble on-premises installations in that software costs often far exceed the cost of deploying hardware. Oracle’s new database release is expressly designed to provide customers with industry-leading scalability for their database deployments. With more than 4,000 pluggable databases per container database, customers reap the benefits of increased economies of scale.
• Drive Hybrid Cloud Agility
  As companies jump aboard the cloud, many face the twin challenges of integrating cloud services with on-premises systems while training IT staff to make the most of cloud capabilities. With the industry’s only 100 percent compatible hybrid cloud offering, customers can easily and quickly migrate workloads between deployments. Most importantly, it allows customers to leverage the skills they already have.
• Exploit Unparalleled Performance
  New innovations to Oracle Database In-Memory (DBIM) streamline setup, accelerate queries, and increase data value by enabling the use of stand-by databases for analytics. The new release features automated management and provisioning tools designed to help end users easily set up their in-memory architecture via a guided process that optimizes the system for maximum performance.
• Accelerate Nonstop Business
  The digital enterprise never stops, and Oracle’s cloud infrastructure draws on innovative, high availability architecture to power your business. Starting with the enterprise-grade hardware used in Oracle Engineered Systems, Oracle further tightens the stack by jointly engineering the OS and virtualization layers. Lastly, Oracle adds its Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) for the database layer to enable continuous availability and zero data-loss protection.
• Optimize Enterprise Security
  As the only cloud provider that engineers security into every layer of the platform, Oracle knows that data security is vital to cloud-based data management. Oracle now elevates the world’s most secure database into the cloud with new security features that safeguard data integrity online, offline, or while data is in transit. Look for increased security automation and reporting, deeper control of authorization levels, and integrated risk analysis tools.
• Maximize Cloud Investments
  The cloud business paradigm has changed the way companies consume IT, with economies of scale that make enterprise-grade solutions financially viable for customers of all sizes. We extend that value with the largest software-as-a-service (SaaS) marketplace in the industry, along with the most complete data management suite for the cloud. Customers can subscribe to a range of Oracle Database 12c cloud services, allowing large enterprises to take advantage of cloud’s elastic resources, while giving growing companies an affordable path to a data management cloud.
