Oracle has made its Exadata Cloud available on its next-generation bare-metal compute and storage services
The announcement means that customers will be able to self-provision multiple bare-metal servers, which the company says are each able to support over four million IOPS, block storage that linearly scales by 60 IOPS per GB, and run on the same “low latency Virtual Cloud Networks.”
The Oracle Exadata offering, which is an on-premises and public cloud database platform, has the company singing its praises, with Big Red saying: “These integrated and fully programmable cloud services enhance all stages of application development and deployment through faster connectivity, provisioning, processing, and database access with unmatched technology and industry-leading price performance.”

Iftikhar, vice president of product management, Oracle.

One of the big benefits to the product is that it offers “complete compatibility” with Oracle Databases that are deployed on-premises. Given that Oracle is keen to move its customers to the cloud a compatible on-premises to cloud offering should mean that a migration will go smoothly.
With Oracle OpenWorld just around the corner, Big Red is likely to continue with its aggressive shift towards a more cloud dominated portfolio, and with technologies that’ll make a cloud migration easier.
