Gartner Blog – “Finally, Private Cloud Identical to Public Cloud”

Oracle position: Positive

The sparkly pink unicorn [public cloud as private cloud experience]

comes from Oracle. Specifically, the world now has
Oracle Dedicated Regions Cloud @ Customer. OCI’s region model,
unlike its competitors, has always been all-services-in-all-regions, so
the OCI-DR model continues that consistency.
 I predict that [OCI Dedicated Regions Cloud@Customer] will
raise OCI’s profile as an alternative to the big hyperscalers, among
enterprise customers and even among digital-native customers.
 Oracle has made significant strides (surprisingly so) in expanding
OCI’s capabilities over this last year, so when they say “all
services” that’s now a pretty significant portfolio — likely enough Analyst: Lydia Leong
Date: July 2020
for more customers to give OCI a serious look and decide whether Link:
access to private regions is worth dealing with the drawbacks https://blogs.gartner.com/lydia_leong/2020/07/09/finally-private-cloud-identical-to-public-clo
ud/
(OCI’s more limited ecosystem and third-party tool support
probably first and foremost).

Report – “It’s Time to Include Oracle as a Viable Option When Evaluating Public
Cloud Providers”
Oracle position: Positive

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is positioned to play a larger role in the market for
specific IaaS/PaaS solutions. By 2025, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will at least
double its cloud infrastructure platform services market share from the current
3%.
Oracle has intelligently prioritized OCI’s strategic roadmap and the features most
important to its customers, rather than directly pursuing its competition. As a
result, Oracle is now starting to position itself as a viable option when supporting
non-Oracle workloads. Oracle has demonstrated impressive improvements in both
the IaaS and PaaS capabilities of OCI in the past year.
Based on these recent improvements, OCI’s capabilities crossed a critical
threshold in 2020, making OCI a reasonable scenario-specific option for
enterprise production use. Furthermore, OCI meets typical enterprise expectations
for cloud security, including a notable integration with the Oracle CASB Cloud
service. Analyst: Tobi Bet
It’s worth mentioning that while OCI is architected and optimized for hosting Date: July 2020
Oracle’s own applications, such as ERP suites and databases, Oracle has been Link: https://www.gartner.com/document/3988034
successful in winning workloads using non-Oracle technologies.

Report – “Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure and Platform
Services, Worldwide”
Oracle position: Niche Player (Unchanged)

• Far easier to migrate critical enterprise workloads: OCI is designed to match or

exceed on-prem I/O performance and low latency with non-blocking networks and
off-box virtualization, while offering superior support for enterprise requirements
like database clustering (including Oracle RAC and Exadata), VMware, compute
clustering (RDMA), and tenant isolation. Oracle Cloud Lift provides the technical
expertise and white glove services to help customers move at no additional cost.
Comprehensive SLAs cover not only availability, but also offer targets and financial
recourse for performance and management of cloud resources.
• All the services developers need to build cloud-native applications at scale: We
make it easy for customers to build with OCI developer services and support for
their favorite tools. While OCI is designed to be a better cloud for enterprise
workloads, the same innovations in networking, compute, and storage make cloud-
native applications more performant, resilient, and scalable.
• Autonomous services make it far easier to manage security, performance, and
scalability: We reduce the risk and cost of human error by automating the
provisioning, securing, scaling, and tuning of databases and operating systems. As a
proof point, Autonomous Database scored the highest in all four use cases in the
2020 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Cloud Database Management Systems for
Operational Use Cases.

Report – “Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure and Platform
Services, Worldwide” (cont’d)
Oracle position: Niche Player (Unchanged)

• The most complete support for hybrid cloud strategies: Oracle offers a broad and consistent set of
cloud services across 30 commercial and government cloud regions in 14 countries on five continents
to serve our global customer base. We also provide unique offerings to give customers cloud
capabilities in their own data centers with Dedicated Region and Exadata Cloud@Customer, in remote
locations with Roving Edge Infrastructure, or across OCI and Microsoft Azure.
• Security that’s built in, on by default, at no extra charge: Instead of nickel and diming customers for
everything from log ingestion to security posture analysis, OCI turns on things like encryption by
default, makes it easy to standardize security with tools like Security Zones, and includes most security
services free within your use of OCI services. Enterprises like Darling Ingredients can give all their IT
professionals the tools they need, without making security tradeoffs because of cost.
• Superior price-performance: OCI offers superior prices (see Redmonk Review) without requiring long
term commitments, and the lowest rates for important services like data egress and high performance
storage. For example, Oracle’s AMD-based VM pricing is offered at 3X better price/performance than
AWS for general purpose & memory-optimized instances. OCI block storage is 98% lower cost than to
AWS EBS Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2). Oracle Database runs faster and has superior cost/performance Analyst: Raj Bala

• High customer satisfaction. In the IDC 2020 Industry Cloud Path survey, where IDC surveyed 935 IaaS
customers on their satisfaction with the top IaaS vendors including Oracle, AWS, Microsoft Azure,
IBM Cloud and Google Cloud, OCI received the highest satisfaction score.

Report – “Guidance Framework for Adopting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Services”
Oracle position: Positive

• OCI is gaining traction with customers based on recent market data as well as
increased GTP inquiry volume. Oracle Cloud uses different concepts, terminology,
definitions, and architectural implementations as compared to other hyperscale
providers. As customers look to adopt OCI services, they need to be aware of these
differences (and similarities) so they can appropriately plan the “administrative”
components of their environment (account structure, billing, etc.) as well as their
deployment patterns to enable adequately resilient and available applications. This
research provides a guidance framework that clients can use to understand OCI
constructs, as well as describe best practices for implementing and deploying these
constructs.
• Logical boundaries are provided in OCI through the use of tenancy and
compartments, enabling delegated administration and isolation of resources.
• Oracle has more than tripled the number of global OCI regions in the last 12 months.
However, a minority of these regions are configured for true high availability and
resiliency of applications, thus organizations should choose their regional
deployments with these limitations in mind.
• Tight integration is provided in OCI with existing Oracle technologies, including
Oracle Database and Exadata, which is appealing to organizations with application
dependencies on these technologies. Analyst: Brian Adler
