With pre-integrated big data and analytics, integration, management and monitoring, mobility and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, developers can easily connect these applications to other cloud or on-premises systems and devices to gain new levels of intelligence and customer success.  In the past two years alone, Oracle has delivered more than 50 PaaS and IaaS services to market and introduced new deployment options such as Oracle Cloud at Customer, providing unparalleled opportunity for customers. 

"Organizations across industries and geographies are increasingly taking advantage of the Oracle Cloud Platform to quickly develop and deploy business-critical applications," said Amit Zavery, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Platform.

"HashiCorp and Oracle share many common customers," said David McJannet, CEO of HashiCorp. "Oracle Cloud's growing support for HashiCorp Terraform will enable our customers to use a common approach to infrastructure provisioning for those workloads that they choose to run in Oracle Cloud.  This will enable our joint customers to deliver better applications, faster on the infrastructure of their choice."

"Our market is changing, and so must our industry-leading life science labeling solutions. So we decided to start delivering our ROBAR service via the cloud to make it easier for new customers to access our world class labeling solutions. For us, high availability, reliability and security are top priorities, especially in the highly regulated industry in which we operate," said Ardi Batmanghelidj, president and CEO, Innovatum. "We considered several solutions, including Amazon, but chose Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Service due to Oracle's reputation as a leading technology provider. Oracle's focus on security helped to tip the scales, along with the cost-effectiveness of its offerings."  

"Enterprises building modern apps rely on data services, and they want these data services on any infrastructure or cloud to support hybrid cloud and multi-cloud configurations," said Edward Hsu, vice president of product marketing at Mesosphere. "Mesosphere DC/OS enables IT organizations to become hybrid cloud service providers, and we're excited to have DC/OS on the Oracle IaaS to give businesses the broadest set of choices on where to run their modern applications."

"SUSE, as an enterprise-focused 'open' open source company, has been collaborating with Oracle on many joint technology innovations and for many years," said Dr. Thomas Di Giacomo, CTO at SUSE. "Today we're very pleased and excited to announce that the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server image is available on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. This opens the door to future cloud activities in the Oracle Cloud ecosystem around IaaS, PaaS, and enterprise cloud native DevOps, areas in which SUSE is rapidly expanding our solutions."

"As a public cloud implementer for many years, and as early adopters of Oracle Cloud IaaS and PaaS, in the last quarter we have seen significant adoption of Oracle Cloud across our large managed services customer base in the UK and Ireland. We have projects on-going on Oracle IaaS, PaaS and SaaS in multiple industries including public sector, utilities and the financial services," said Ken MacMahon, Head of Oracle Cloud Services at Version 1.  "A real sweet-spot for its adoption for us has been customers who wish to leverage public cloud for deployment of key application workloads that are built on Oracle technology. This leverages both our Oracle and public cloud expertise to give customers the optimum benefits and power of the Oracle IaaS and PaaS."
