Each year, we're seeing businesses discover new ways to leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to propel growth and innovation. This year is no different, with Oracle rolling out a smorgasbord of new capabilities, features and tools that our customers tell us have made a big difference for their business and the people they serve.

When we created OCI, we had the opportunity to build a completely new cloud, drawing on lessons from the market and from what other cloud providers were building. At a minimum, we wanted to make sure we provide an environment that is equal or better in terms of performance, reliability, and security than a dedicated on-prem infrastructure.

We've achieved that goal and our applications customers are reaping the rewards of Oracle Cloud. The OCI platform is agile, extensible and offers more than a hundred cloud infrastructure and platform services that you can leverage within your ecosystem. All your apps and technologies – Oracle and non-Oracle work better together on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. They are all part of the same cloud and available in 40 cloud regions around the world or in flexible hybrid configurations wherever you need them.
