In a bid to cater to the needs of organisations that sought independence and security while transitioning to the cloud to reap its potential benefits, global software major Oracle had launched a service in India to bring its public cloud in customers' data centres. It had also announced a $400 million investment in the country.

Launched ahead of Oracle CloudWorld Mumbai, the new suit of offerings called Oracle Cloud involved a server managed and maintained by Oracle. It ran on-premises (in the customer's data centre) and behind the firewall of the client allowing the chief information officers to easily move business critical applications to cloud.

''While organisations in India are eager to move their enterprise workloads to the public cloud, many have been constrained by business, legislative and regulatory requirements,'' Shawn Price, Oracle's senior vice president of Cloud, said in a statement. ''With this launch, Oracle addresses these challenges so that organisations across industries can reap the performance, cost and innovation benefits of Oracle Public Cloud and run it wherever they want – in Oracle Cloud or their own data centre,'' he added.

Customers could pick and choose the services they wanted such as disaster recovery, elastic bursting or any other infrastructure services, along with data management, application development, enterprise integration and management.

''Companies in India, especially those bound by regulatory pressures, can now leverage the cloud and speed up their business transformation. Oracle Cloud at Customer supports complete control over data, while facilitating data sovereignty and data residency requirements,'' Shailender Kumar, managing director, Oracle India, noted.

Organisations would benefit by getting all of the benefits of Oracle Cloud in their data centre – agility, simplicity, performance, elastic scaling, and subscription pricing. Oracle Cloud at Customer solutions covered infrastructure, data management, application development, enterprise integration and management.

Customers could also enable workload portability between on-premises and cloud using identical environments, toolsets and APIs.
