With the majority of our consulting engagements involving core and/or critical infrastructure systems, the cloud has traditionally been dismissed as either “too costly” or “too unpredictable” to offer a valid alternative to on-premises hosting, particularly for legacy, monolithic workloads. Re-platforming for cloud-nativity is undoubtedly the right approach, but that’s both time consuming, and complicated. In most scenarios, OCI offers better than on-prem performance (particularly in the networking and compute space) at a price point that brings migration, even as a medium-long term step towards cloud nativity, into serious consideration.

Once you incorporate the benefits of automation and streamlined operations (not to mention some of the endemic service offerings such as Exadata Cloud), OCI presents a true no-compromise solution for traditional high performance, core enterprise systems.
