At NexInfo Solutions, we’re always excited to share significant milestones from the tech world that can enhance the way organizations leverage cloud services. One such milestone is Oracle’s recent recognition as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Strategic Cloud Platform Services. This prestigious acknowledgment highlights Oracle’s strength in providing exceptional cloud solutions that meet the diverse needs of customers worldwide. 

Oracle’s Hyperscale Cloud Powers Diverse Workloads 

Oracle’s strategic cloud platform services are designed to integrate essential components like computing, networking, storage, and platform services. Gartner defines this category as encompassing public cloud offerings that support not only infrastructure services but also transformative programs and resources, helping businesses adopt cloud-oriented IT delivery models. 

In this report, Oracle’s cloud offering has been recognized for its ability to support distributed deployments, multicloud environments, and the growing demand for generative AI. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) stands out among the four global hyperscale cloud providers in Gartner’s Leaders Quadrant, showcasing its dominance in cloud innovation and delivery. 

Meeting Customers’ Diverse Needs 

According to Clay Magouyrk, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, “We believe this recognition further demonstrates Oracle’s growth in this key category.” OCI’s distributed cloud strategy has been designed to cater to a wide range of customer requirements, from flexibility and performance to scale and availability. With built-in security safeguards and better price performance, OCI continues to strengthen its position in the market, allowing customers to run their workloads across public and private clouds with enhanced security and efficiency. 

Flexibility and Compliance for All Sizes of Organizations 

One of OCI’s key differentiators is its ability to support diverse organizations, regardless of their size or industry. With Oracle’s cloud services, businesses can operate applications in multicloud environments, allowing for better data sovereignty and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Recent updates, including services like Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, demonstrate Oracle’s commitment to providing flexibility and meeting customer needs, whether it’s for private cloud, government services, or highly regulated industries. 

OCI is currently available in 46 public cloud regions across 23 countries, including specialized regions for government use and EU Sovereign Cloud regions to meet data residency requirements. Oracle is also making strides in the private sector with solutions like Oracle Alloy, enabling customers to innovate rapidly, just like hyperscalers. 

Accelerating Cloud Migration with OCI and Azure 

In a move set to reshape cloud migration, Oracle introduced Oracle Database@Azure, which went live in December 2023 in the East US region. This offering enables businesses to leverage Oracle database services deployed on OCI within Microsoft Azure’s datacenters. The integration of these two leading cloud providers brings customers the performance, scale, and flexibility of Oracle’s database combined with Azure’s industry-leading services. 

AI-Powered Cloud Innovation 

Another key area where OCI is excelling is Generative AI. Through a strategic partnership with NVIDIA, Oracle provides high-performance infrastructure tailored for AI workloads. OCI is a platform of choice for organizations looking to train and serve large-scale AI models, backed by superclusters and state-of-the-art GPUs. 

With OCI AI Services and the new OCI Generative AI service, businesses can integrate AI into their existing operations seamlessly. These services include prebuilt machine learning models, offering developers an easy path to incorporating AI capabilities into their applications and business processes. 

A Consistent Industry Leader 

Oracle has established itself as a consistent industry leader in cloud services, with the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ naming it a Leader in Strategic Cloud Platform Services. This recognition further reinforces Oracle’s position as a trusted partner for organizations globally. 

At NexInfo Solutions, we recognize the transformative potential of cloud technologies like OCI. Whether you’re considering cloud migration, enhancing security, or exploring new AI-driven opportunities, Oracle’s cloud solutions provide the scalability, flexibility, and performance your organization needs to thrive in the modern digital landscape.
