Oracle Database Platform Runs on Bare Metal Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle’s cloud infrastructure now supports its database platform  the latest in a series of recent additions to its enterprise cloud services. Oracle Exadata is the company’s on-premises and public cloud database platform. It originally launched in 2008 as the Exadata Database Machine, a converged system combining hardware, software, and storage. Oracle made the database available as a cloud service two years ago. The Exadata Cloud now runs on Oracle’s next-generation cloud infrastructure its Bare Metal Cloud that CTO Larry Ellison announced at last year’s Oracle OpenWorld. The company claims this infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offering is faster and performs better than Amazon Web Services (AWS).
