There's more to Oracle Cloud than you think
OCI isn’t just for Oracle workloads. It’s a full cloud platform that combines lower, predictable costs with stronger performance and built-in EU data sovereignty. New to it? We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Cloud shouldn't be this complex
Whether you’re migrating to the cloud or rethinking your current setup, you’re likely facing the same frustrations we see every day.
Unpredictable costs
Between complex pricing, data transfer fees, and long-term commitments, keeping a budget under control is a constant challenge.
Data sovereignty
Storing and processing data in the EU is no longer optional. Not every cloud platform makes this straightforward.
Vendor lock-in
Proprietary services and technical barriers make it difficult to stay agile. You shouldn't be trapped by your own infrastructure.
Migration fatigue
Planning architecture, moving workloads, and managing compliance is a heavy lift without the right guidance.
Performance that doesn't match the price
You pay for premium rates, but often don't see the compute power, storage speed, or network throughput you expected.
Lack of local support
Global providers rely on tickets and bots. You need someone who knows your market, understands your stack, and picks up the phone.
What makes OCI different
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is built on a different architecture.
Here is what that means in practice:
Lower costs,
no surprises
- Up to 57% lower compute costs vs AWS
- Up to 78% lower block storage costs vs AWS
- 10 TB free outbound data (egress) per month
- No complex discount programs required
- Same pricing in every region worldwide
- No data ingress costs on OCI
EU data sovereignty, built in
- Sovereign cloud regions within Europe
- Full GDPR and data residency compliance
- Dedicated and hybrid deployment options
- Data stays where you need it to stay
- Government-grade security included
Performance
without compromise
- Flexible VMs: scale by single CPU core - Gartner Leader, 3 consecutive years
- Bare metal and dedicated compute available
- No oversubscription on compute instances
- Non-blocking network architecture
Multi-cloud freedom
- Native integration with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
- Oracle Database@AWS, @Azure and @Google available
- Move workloads between clouds without rebuilding
- Consistent APIs across all deployment models
- No proprietary lock-in on core infrastructure

About OCI
No. OCI is a full-stack cloud platform including compute, storage, networking, AI, and Kubernetes. Any workload running on AWS, Azure, or GCP can run on OCI. The Oracle database is just one of many services available.
OCI is built to be simpler and more affordable. You get up to 57% lower compute costs and up to 78% lower block storage costs, with consistent pricing in every region. Gartner has recognized OCI as a Leader for Strategic Cloud Platforms for three years running. For the full breakdown, you can check oracle.com/cloud/economics.
Absolutely. OCI supports Linux, Windows, VMware, containers, and most open-source tools. You don’t need any Oracle software to use OCI as your primary cloud platform.
Compliance & sovereignty
Yes. Oracle runs dedicated sovereign cloud regions within Europe specifically designed for GDPR compliance and local data residency. For organizations with the strictest regulatory needs, we can also set up private or hybrid environments that keep your data strictly where it needs to be.
Not at all. OCI is built on open standards and APIs, which keeps your workloads portable. Plus, we embrace the reality of a multi-cloud world – you can connect OCI directly to AWS, Azure, or GCP. Oracle Database is even available natively within those platforms, so you’re never forced into a closed ecosystem.
Working with Droppar
Oracle builds the platform; we make it work for you. As a Benelux-based partner, we provide the hands-on guidance a global vendor can’t. We know your market, understand your specific setup, and pick up the phone when you need help. You aren’t just another ticket in a queue.
We review your current infrastructure, map your workloads, and show you exactly what a move to OCI looks like regarding architecture, timeline, and cost. It’s a clear, actionable plan with no commitment required.
