Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

High-performance cloud for mission-critical financial workloads

Visit Website

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a next-generation cloud platform purpose-built for enterprise workloads, with a strong focus on the financial services industry. Spanning 80+ availability zones across 45+ regions worldwide — with dedicated financial services presence in New York, London, Dubai, and Riyadh — OCI delivers consistent high-performance computing at a lower cost than legacy hyperscalers. OCI's flagship Autonomous Database technology eliminates manual database management through self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing capabilities — a critical advantage for financial transaction processing. Oracle's decades-long heritage in banking and financial systems — including core banking, ERP, and risk management — gives OCI unique depth in understanding and serving the compliance, security, and performance needs of financial institutions, making it a strong contender for OCI for banks and Oracle Cloud financial institutions. Through the Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure, OCI enables a seamless dual-cloud strategy, allowing banks and fintechs to run workloads across both platforms with direct, low-latency connectivity.
