Private Cloud Appliance

Automatic network configuration

High-performance, low-latency software-defined networking (SDN) automates compute and storage network configuration so customers can run workloads on optimized infrastructure.

Container automation

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the operations of enterprise-grade Kubernetes at scale. It lets you deploy Kubernetes clusters and support reliable operations for both the control plane and the worker nodes with automatic scaling, patching, and security updates. OKE on Oracle Private Cloud Appliance brings basic cluster capabilities on-premises, reducing overall utilization and delivering modernization, consolidation, and lower total cost of ownership.

Rapid design and prototyping

OCI Designer Toolkit is a standalone, open source design tool for Oracle Cloud that enables customers to rapidly design and prototype Private Cloud Appliance infrastructure.

Integrated management

Terraform scripts simplify IT manager tasks by automating infrastructure provisioning. Administrators can manage Oracle Private Cloud Appliance from a single dashboard.

Complete, quick-to-install solution

A prebuilt, precabled, integrated solution with hardware, software, and management provides customers with agile, intelligent infrastructure.

Inclusive pricing

Oracle Cloud Native Environment, KVM virtualization, and Oracle operating system software are included at no added cost.

Simple scaling

Compute nodes can be added or removed from Oracle Private Cloud Appliance configurations without downtime to maximize application uptime and minimize TCO.

Single-vendor solution

Oracle support with bundled, full-stack patching simplifies the troubleshooting and patching of customer application infrastructure.

Full-stack performance optimization

Optimizing compute servers, storage, and system software to work together can accelerate crucial customer workloads by up to 40% compared to traditional DIY architectures, as described in CSP Brazil’s video.

High-performance servers

Each compute node uses the latest AMD EPYC processors with 6.7 TB to 26.8 TB of memory to run customer workloads at top speed.

Built-in storage

A high-performance Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is tightly integrated into every Private Cloud Appliance, so I/O-intensive customer workloads such as OLTP, data warehousing, and heavily virtualized environments can run as quickly as possible.

Simple scaling eases growth

With independent scaling of compute resources from 552 to 2,208 CPU cores and storage from 150 TB to 3.65 PB, customers can economically meet evolving workload requirements.

Software-defined networking

Customers can reduce deployment and management complexity by running multiple Private Cloud Appliance internal networks over a single physical network.

Comprehensive monitoring and visualization

Prometheus and Grafana provide monitoring and visualization solutions that simplify customer IT team workloads by enabling full-stack solution management, including Kubernetes container deployments.

Real-time insights

Advanced management and analytics enable enterprises to quickly understand why individual workloads create performance-limiting congestion.

Multitenancy increases security

Cloud-like tenancy and granular storage encryption enables companies to support up to eight separate customer-managed tenancies per system.

Cloud portability

Private Cloud Appliance enables customers to more easily migrate infrastructure configuration, workloads, and data between private and public clouds using OCI-compatible APIs and tools.

Consistent development experience

Deploying workloads in both Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and Oracle Cloud provides customers with a consistent development experience, including the use of the same APIs, SDKs, and tools.

Cloud native support

The Oracle Cloud Native Environment enables developers to quickly create and easily scale containerized applications using Kubernetes.

Common capabilities

Common tooling, operational approaches, and skill sets between Private Cloud Appliance and OCI reduce management duplication and accelerate time to value when deploying applications, components, and middleware across cloud and on-premises environments.

Full-stack management

Full integration, management automation, and single-bundle patching reduce the need for costly IT staffing in remote customer locations.

High availability architecture

The same proven technologies used in Oracle Exadata and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure maximize uptime for customer workloads.

High availability design increases uptime

With three fault domains for compute and no single point of failure for storage and networking, crucial customer applications can run through device failures.

Zero downtime patching and upgrades

Most appliance patching, maintenance, and upgrades can be completed with zero downtime appliance upgrades that won’t interrupt operations.

Built-in business continuity

Built-in VM-level disaster recovery utilizing Oracle Site Guard between multiple locations enables IT teams to quickly restore normal customer operations in case of an emergency, supporting 24/7 operations.

Embedded controller software

Embedded controller software streamlines installation in customer data centers while reducing configuration and management by IT teams.

Integrated management

Central monitoring, metering, and self-service portal capabilities make it easy for IT teams to deploy infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) capabilities.

Multitenant isolation

Eight isolated tenancies enable secure multitenant deployments in service provider and enterprise environments.

High-speed networking

With 100 GbE internal networking and a choice of 10/25/40/100 GbE connectivity to other systems in customer data centers, customers can maximize the performance of crucial application workloads.

Direct Exadata connectivity

Connecting Oracle Private Cloud Appliance to Oracle Exadata and Oracle Database Appliance provides high performance and secure application-to-database connectivity for a scalable, multitier application infrastructure.
