Cloud decisions shouldn't be this complex

Whether you're moving to the cloud for the first time or rethinking your current setup, the same challenges keep coming back.

Rising or unpredictable cloud costs

Budgets are hard to control when pricing is complex, data ingress and egress fees add up, and discounts require long commitments.

EU data sovereignty concerns

Storing and processing data in Europe isn’t optional anymore. Not every cloud platform makes this simple.

Vendor lock-in risks

Proprietary services and migration barriers make it difficult to switch or combine cloud platforms.

Complexity of getting started

Choosing the right cloud setup, migrating workloads, and managing compliance feels overwhelming without the right guidance.

Performance that doesn't match the price

You're paying premium rates but not seeing the compute performance, storage speed, or network throughput you expected.

Lack of local, specialized support

Global providers offer tickets and chatbots. Getting hands-on expertise from someone who understands your market is another story.

About OCI

No. OCI is a full cloud platform with compute, storage, networking, AI, containers, Kubernetes, and 150+ services. Any workload that runs on AWS, Azure or GCP can run on OCI. Oracle Database is just one of many services available.

OCI offers up to 57% lower compute costs and up to 78% lower block storage costs than AWS, with consistent pricing across all regions. Oracle has been recognized as a Gartner Leader for Strategic Cloud Platforms three years in a row. For a detailed comparison, see oracle.com/cloud/economics.

Yes. OCI supports Linux, Windows, VMware, containers, Kubernetes, Terraform, and most open-source tools. You don’t need any Oracle software to use OCI as your cloud platform.

Compliance & sovereignty

Yes. Oracle operates sovereign cloud regions within Europe designed for GDPR compliance and data residency. Dedicated and hybrid deployment options are also available for organizations with strict regulatory requirements.

No. OCI supports multi-cloud integration with AWS, Azure, and GCP. Oracle Database@AWS, @Azure and @GCP are available natively. OCI uses open standards and APIs, so workloads remain portable.
