Oracle announced on the 11th that it has been selected as a leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape report evaluating 'global public cloud IaaS providers.'
The IDC MarketScape report evaluated 13 public cloud IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) providers, analyzing each provider's ability to deliver large-scale services, the range of features offered, and their innovation capabilities.
According to the report, "Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) supports global scalability through high-speed interconnects, which include partnerships with Microsoft Azure in 12 regions and Google Cloud in 11 regions. This consolidation enables seamless implementation of a multi-cloud architecture without latency and data transmission expense, allowing OCI to be used alongside Azure or Google Cloud."
It also noted that "Oracle's multi-cloud strategy and services extend directly to major hyperscalers, such as Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, and Oracle Database@AWS. Customers can run Exadata Database Service and Autonomous Database in data centers of major hyperscalers, providing flexibility and choice in application execution locations and cloud service selection."
Dave McCarthy, vice president of IDC Research, said, "Oracle's cloud strategy aligns with IDC's view of what customers seek from strategic providers. The theme consistently emerging from our research and surveys is providing cloud computing wherever organizations need it, through flexible computing configurations and consistent deployment options." He added, "Through OCI, Oracle is continually making significant investments in AI infrastructure and multi-cloud solutions, such as the OCI Supercluster supporting up to 131,072 NVIDIA GPUs, which provides a differentiated cloud experience."
