5. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Another IT behemoth cloud service
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is another cloud service from a computing behemoth, and as you’d expect it’s both a powerful and feature-packed platform. A recent Forrester review noted that Oracle’s services were especially strong at supporting different workloads, especially for IoT, OLTP, microservices, along with applications dependent on AI and machine learning. There are two main service provisions available: cloud architecture, and storage data.
Cloud architecture includes data management, databases, and applications, while the Oracle Data Cloud is primarily for driving big data analytics for business intelligence insights. Oracle also provides a range of SaaS (Software as a Service) platforms such as HCM, EPM, SCM, and social media tools.
As expected, there are a vast range of potential involved in using Oracle’s cloud services, but they are really designed to accommodate enterprise needs rather than small businesses or individuals.
For those who do sign up, aside from a 30-day free trial, Oracle Cloud also offers a free service tier which includes unlimited access to two autonomous databases which comes with Oracle Application Express (APEX) and Oracle SQL
Developer, as well as two compute VMs, block, object, and archive storage, as well as load balancing, monitoring, and notifications.
