What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a set of cloud services that enable you to build and run a wide range of applications and services in a highly available hosted environment. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers high-performance compute capabilities (as physical hardware instances) and storage capacity in a flexible overlay virtual network that is securely accessible from your on-premises network.

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is an IaaS and PaaS offering that provides a scalable, highly available, and cost-effective cloud platform to meet the needs of the modern enterprise. The technologies provided by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure give developers and IT broad support for running existing workloads as well as creating cloud-native applications
• OCI provides real-time elasticity for enterprise applications by combining Oracle’s autonomous services, integrated security, and Serverless computing.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is designed for applications that require consistent high-performance, including stateful connections to databases, raw processing through CPUs or GPUs, millions of storage IOPS, and GB/s of throughput.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a natural fit for many high-performance and I/O intensive computing workloads such as crash and aerodynamic simulations, risk modeling, and digital twins.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a flexible data platform to enable you to build Big Data applications at a massive scale
