Private Cloud Appliance

Oracle Private Cloud Appliance is a rack-scale engineered system that delivers Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)-compatible compute, GPU, storage, and networking on-premises. It lets customers rapidly deploy applications, middleware, and workloads, including AI, high performance computing (HPC), and graphics, using built-in automation in an OCI-like environment. Private Cloud Appliance is designed for customers who want a cloud-like development and deployment experience while adhering to data residency requirements.

Private Cloud Appliance features

Key differentiators

Prebuilt for faster deployment

Integrated infrastructure, virtualization, and management accelerates deployment times.

Integration simplifies management

Built-in, full-stack management and patching speeds application deployment while reducing operating expenses for customers’ IT departments.

Portability between public and private clouds

OCI-compatible APIs, SDKs, and management tools enable customers to create and deploy applications in consistent infrastructure-as-code environments on a private cloud and in OCI.

Trusted partitions reduce software costs

Trusted partitions using flexible VM shapes enable organizations to license software on small portions of the Private Cloud Appliance. Reducing the software licenses required lowers the cost of running Oracle Database and applications compared to other solutions.

Integrated software reduces total cost of ownership

Oracle Linux, Oracle Solaris, Oracle Cloud Native Environment, and KVM virtualization software are included with the support contract, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).
