Making better business decisions faster is a top priority for tech-savvy organizations today, as shown in the top announcements from Oracle’s CloudWorld conference. The biggest announcement in the edge and cloud computing world from Oracle is Oracle Alloy, a cloud infrastructure platform designed to let organizations become cloud providers to their customers. Take a look at their other offerings, including the newest version of Oracle’s Database 23c, several new distributed cloud offerings and the updated MySQL HeatWave Lakehouse database tool.

Partner organizations can use this cloud infrastructure platform in their own data centers, an interesting option that allows for flexibility in terms of regulatory requirements. It also allows organizations to extend partnerships they may already have with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure into the public sector or other industries that might want to operate clouds independently, turning them into intermediary cloud providers.

“Customers are increasingly seeking to run their workloads in specific locations and run these workloads in the cloud of their choice,” Oracle found.

The Alloy platform offers the same 100+ infrastructure and platform services accessible in OCI’s public cloud. From there, customers can add their own branding, SDKs, documentation, pricing, account types and discount schedules. Alloy is open to customers bringing specific hardware appliances into the ecosystem and using whatever works best for them locally to bring the Oracle-supported cloud.
