As organisations of all sizes move more of their information systems to the cloud, Oracle is expanding the number of Oracle Cloud services to strengthen its position as the industry’s most comprehensive public cloud.
Oracle Cloud offers a broad range of modern, functionally rich and integrated services running in a secure, enterprise and standards-based cloud platform. With new Application, Platform and Infrastructure Services, Oracle is helping customers and partners further capitalise on the power of cloud computing.

Extending the industry’s broadest and most advanced cloud portfolio, Oracle introduced 10 new Oracle Cloud services for its customers and partners.

The new services expand Oracle’s comprehensive portfolio of Application, Social, Platform and Infrastructure Services and are all available on a subscription basis.

Unlike other clouds that offer services in one or two layers, Oracle Cloud is the only cloud that delivers a broad portfolio of integrated services across applications, social, platform and infrastructure.

Oracle Cloud provides the industry’s most complete suite of modern, enterprise SaaS applications including Human Capital Management, Customer Experience and Enterprise Resource Management, with built-in business intelligence, social and mobile capabilities.

Oracle offers customers and partners choice and flexibility in where they deploy Oracle software: in traditional on-premise data centres, private clouds, Oracle Cloud and other public clouds.

Oracle Cloud continues to show strong adoption, supporting 9-million users and 19-billion transactions each day, running on 7 000 servers and 200 petabytes of storage in 13 data centres around the world.

Oracle Cloud partners will be able to refer and resell the new Oracle Cloud Platform and Infrastructure services through the existing Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Cloud programs, enabling them to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of Application, Social, Platform and Infrastructure cloud-based services to their customers.
