Oracle Cloud Machine - Move the Cloud to your Data Center

While public cloud computing would make a significant difference in your business, handing the governance and control to someone else isn't always simply an option. The cloud is generally perceived as being “out there”—somewhere in the ether chugging away at its computing chores.

But what if you could turn cloud computing inside out—bring its speed, flexibility, and ease of use right into your data center?

Data residency and privacy laws, industry-specific requirements and other business preferences may hinder organizations from consuming public cloud services. For that matter, organizations need private cloud solutions that bring the benefits of public cloud along with the governance and control they require.

In this respect , Oracle is happy to announce the availability of Oracle Cloud Machine, which is an on-premise Oracle cloud platform that is %100 compatible with Oracle Cloud. With this new offering organizations have the choice of deploying and consuming Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service offerings in their data centers, behind their firewalls. It is now possible for such organizations to focus on innovation and benefit from operational efficiency (Oracle will manage the deployments on Cloud Machine remotely and securely) and flexible pricing model of the Oracle Cloud while customers can now subscribe to services rather than purchasing new hardware and software.

It is now a seamless migration if organizations want to move their workload from on-premise to public cloud because of the same standards, same products and same architecture whether it is public or private cloud.

Oracle Cloud Machine's first release includes Infrastructure, Java and Integration Cloud Services but other cloud services will be available shortly. We believe it is the industry’s most complete solutions for deploying public cloud services “behind your firewall”. Here's why:

• Single point of accountability for the cloud services delivered behind the customer’s firewall – Oracle. Hardware, software, and all ongoing management of the entire stack is provided by Oracle.
• Same software and technology under the Oracle Public Cloud delivered with the Oracle Cloud Machine. Oracle also ensures that this congruence between the private cloud and public cloud is maintained by frequently updating the Oracle Cloud Machine with the same updates that we deploy in the Oracle Cloud.
• Fully managed remotely by Oracle Cloud Operations using a secure, remote connection that honors least privilege principles to ensure that you can truly have a hassle-free experience of consuming cloud services and NOT managing the underlying infrastructure. Every customer is assigned a Technical Account Manager (included in the cost of the service) who helps with capacity planning, performance optimization, and addressing any services issues.
• Subscription services mirroring Oracle Public Cloud pricing. You buy IaaS and PaaS services and not hardware and software. Pick the service you want and you choose whether you want to consume it over the Internet or entirely behind your firewall.  Oracle takes care of everything else.
• IaaS and PaaS. While we are unbeatable when it comes to running Oracle workloads. Oracle Cloud Machine runs on Oracle Linux which is  provides high performing, secure platform for both Oracle and non-Oracle workloads. 

Oracle Cloud Machine represents a new way for organizations to benefit from cloud computing. It provides the same services available in Oracle Cloud—not similar, but exactly the same—in an on-premises, tightly integrated Oracle engineered system.
