Why choose Compute Cloud@Customer?

Compute Cloud@Customer lets you run applications and middleware using OCI services on high performance cloud infrastructure in your data center. You can quickly deploy applications using a rack-scale platform with optional GPU acceleration and infrastructure-as-code automation. Modernize your entire application stack using cloud resources by combining Compute Cloud@Customer with Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer for Oracle Database.



  • Simple and affordable

    Use fully managed cloud infrastructure and OCI Compute services with a 100% operating expenses model and dynamic consumption pricing to help reduce your costs.

  • Flexible and powerful

    Run applications, including cloud native ones, using flexible VM shapes with up to 96 compute cores each, optional NVIDIA GPUs for AI and HPC workloads, and scalable object, block, and file storage.

  • Fully compatible

    Employ the same OCI services, APIs, and automation as the rest of Oracle’s distributed cloud to easily develop workloads that can be deployed anywhere.

  • Deployable anywhere

    Address your needs for data residency and low latency by deploying rack-scale infrastructure in enterprise data centers and remote locations.

How Compute Cloud@Customer works

Compute Cloud@Customer is Oracle owned and remotely managed cloud infrastructure that’s installed at a data center or remote location of your choosing. It lets you run OCI Compute and GPU instances along with related OCI storage and networking services. Locating cloud resources inside your data center helps you meet data residency requirements and the need for low-latency connections to data center assets and real-time operations.

Select the number of compute cores, GPU instances, and total storage you’ll need, and Oracle will deliver, install, maintain, and manage the infrastructure. Subscribe to Compute Cloud@Customer infrastructure over a period of at least 48 months and pay consumption costs only for the compute and storage resources you use. Unlike other providers that don’t have variable consumption costs or that require you to purchase hardware from a different vendor, Compute Cloud@Customer provides you with a 100% OpEx model that uses the same Oracle Universal Credits you use for OCI and helps lower your cost by not charging consumption for unused resources.

When using Compute Cloud@Customer or Exadata Cloud@Customer, your data is protected by always-on encryption and other OCI security capabilities. The OCI Console and common APIs manage services and applications running on Compute Cloud@Customer, Exadata Cloud@Customer, and in OCI regions, making it easy to move workloads across Oracle’s distributed cloud environments.

Compute Cloud@Customer use cases

  • Modernize with the cloud in your data center

    Move applications, including Oracle E-Business Suite, from on-premises platforms to Compute Cloud@Customer and connect directly to Exadata Cloud@Customer to help improve performance, reduce administration time, and lower costs. Consolidate traditional and cloud native workloads on a single Compute Cloud@Customer platform to help reduce costs.

  • Centrally manage a distributed cloud

    Deploy applications across the country and centrally manage them from a single pane of glass. Pay for infrastructure and services using OpEx with a globally consistent pricing model that lets you pay consumption costs only for the resources you use.

  • Protect application resources against disasters

    Protect applications and middleware stacks running in customer data centers or OCI regions using Compute Cloud@Customer at a standby site with orchestration of disaster recovery through OCI.

  • Leverage the tight integration of application workloads to database tiers

    Compute Cloud@Customer with Exadata Cloud@Customer provides the ideal platform to run GenAI workloads, including using GPUs for inferencing with LLM, data analysis, and HPC simulations.

  • Run GPU-enabled cloud applications in your data center

    Run GenAI workloads, including LLMs for inferencing, as well as HPC data anlysis and simulation applications in your data center using OCI GPU instances.

Analyst perspectives on Compute Cloud@Customer

  • “Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer unlocks the magic, performance, and affordable pricing of OCI by making it highly available on the customer’s premises. That’s critically important for those organizations that need data residency, lower application latencies with faster response times, and tighter security. Just as critical is the affordable pricing.”
