Migrating your on-premise workloads to any cloud infrastructure reduces your CAPEX and OPEX, increases scalability, and reduces overhead costs. It also enables IT to focus on strategic initiatives vs. keeping the lights on. However, the benefits you gain from moving to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) exceed those of other IaaS providers.

OCI is based on the latest cloud technologies and standards and provides more consistent performance and advanced features at lower costs. OCI allows you to provision resources in specific localized regions and can support the addition of new regions. Here are a few key benefits of moving your applications and workloads to OCI.

Lower Costs

Subscription-based payment models offer instant access to advanced cloud infrastructure without requiring a significant upfront investment. OCI offers more than just subscription pricing; it also provides hardware cost savings, greater business flexibility, and higher efficiencies.

Additionally, OCI makes it easier to migrate all your applications to the cloud, so you also reduce training costs and the associated disruption that typically occurs with software upgrades or enhancements.

Better Performance

Moving to cloud infrastructure can help you automate several routine tasks. OCI enables you to automate processes and provides streamlined performance through a shared infrastructure. It enables your entire business to run faster and scale up or down per your computing needs.

Future-Proof

OCI is the leading choice for businesses looking for modern and reliable cloud infrastructure capabilities. OCI is easy-to-use and provides a future-proof solution to support your long-term business strategies. Using OCI, you can develop new apps, modify server capacity, support high-performance computing, and pivot quickly to meet evolving market conditions.

Agility and Scalability

Modern businesses must respond quickly to changing market conditions to leverage potential opportunities. OCI can transform your ability to scale up quickly to handle additional locations, projects, and processes and also to scale down when business is slow. OCI’s auto-scaling feature allows you to scale up your compute instances horizontally or vertically, reducing manual issues. You can add virtual servers at will to meet the increased demand for computing power, staying agile and competitive for years to come.

Selecting the Right Oracle Cloud Partner

With full-stack options such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, Oracle’s cloud solutions support your business end-to-end. But to realize the full benefits of OCI, you need a specialized Oracle Partner that can manage all aspects of your OCI migration to save time and costs and deliver greater efficiency without re-architecting your solutions.
