Oracle boosts cloud services with 10 new products

AHEAD of the boom in the adoption of cloud services for improved business performances, Oracle, a major player in the field, has informed of the move to strengthen its cloud services, especially the public cloud. Oracle, which offers a broad range of modern, functionally rich and integrated services running in a secure, enterprise and standards-based cloud platform, said it has introduced 10 new Oracle Cloud services for its customers and partners. The firm said the new application, platform, and Infrastructure services would help customers and partners further capitalize on the power of cloud computing. Oracle informed that the new services expand its comprehensive portfolio of application, social, platform and infrastructure services and are all available on a subscription basis. “Unlike other clouds that offer services in one or two layers, Oracle Cloud is the only cloud that delivers a broad portfolio of integrated services across applications, social, platform and infrastructure. “Oracle Cloud provides the industry’s most complete suite of modern, enterprise SaaS applications including Human Capital Management, Customer Experience, and Enterprise Resource Management, with built-in business intelligence, social and mobile capabilities,” the firm stated. Oracle, further stated that it offers customers and partners choice and flexibility in where they deploy Oracle software, in traditional on-premise data centers, private clouds, Oracle Cloud and other public clouds. “Oracle Cloud continues to show strong adoption, supporting 9 million users and 19 billion transactions each day, running on 7,000 servers and 200 petabytes of storage in 13 data centers around the world. “Oracle Cloud partners will be able to refer and resell the new Oracle Cloud Platform and Infrastructure services through the existing Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Cloud programs, enabling them to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of Application, Social, Platform and Infrastructure cloud-based services to their customers,” it said. Commenting on the new products, Vice President, Product Development, Oracle, Thomas Kurian said, “to realise the true benefits that cloud computing offers, organisations need access to flexible, reliable and secure cloud services that are designed to meet their specific business needs.”
