Oracle Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure

OCI uniquely addresses data privacy, sovereign AI, and low-latency requirements, delivering 200+ AI and cloud services at the edge, in customer datacenters, across clouds, and in the public cloud

Customers can accelerate sovereign AI and deploy AI solutions anywhere in OCI's distributed cloud with greater control and flexibility 

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, Oracle has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure. Oracle is positioned furthest in completeness of vision among all vendors evaluated. A complimentary copy of the report is available here.

"More and more organizations across the world are selecting our distributed cloud as it delivers the full breadth of our AI and cloud services whether on-premises, through partners, or across clouds with consistent global pricing," said Clay Magouyrk, president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "We believe our recognition as a Leader in this Magic Quadrant is strong validation of our distributed cloud strategy and our multicloud leadership. Our flexible distributed cloud architecture lets us bring sovereign cloud services to regions no other hyperscaler reaches, while our multicloud partnerships make it easier than ever for enterprises to move their data estates to the cloud."

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers a complete cloud designed to run any workload, from AI to enterprise applications, faster, more securely, and at lower cost. To help meet data residency, sovereignty, and performance requirements, Oracle's distributed cloud offering enables customers to deploy 200+ AI and cloud services at the edge, in their datacenters, across clouds, and in the public cloud. Customers in financial services, healthcare, government, and telecommunications can choose from multiple deployment options—OCI Dedicated Region, OCI Dedicated Region²⁵, Oracle Alloy, Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer, Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure and various multicloud services—to meet the strictest cloud regulatory and sovereignty requirements.

Expansive AI and Cloud Options Help Customers Accelerate Sovereign AI
Customers can decide how and where AI technologies are deployed and operated, including specifying the hardware and software infrastructure, as well as the policies and personnel responsible for operations and data protection. Across these options—Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, Government Cloud regions in the U.S., UK, and Australia, OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Alloy, and Oracle Cloud Isolated Region—organizations receive the same cloud services, APIs, SLAs, and security, and can optimize GPU configurations. OCI services and pricing are consistent across all these deployment types to simplify planning, portability, and management.

Bringing AI and Cloud Services to More Customers
Organizations can rapidly deploy full-stack OCI in a Dedicated Region, starting as small as three racks in a space-constrained environment. This pre-configured modular infrastructure and streamlined service design enables a seamless experience while accelerating time-to-market.

Customers can also run OCI Compute and GPU shapes with storage and networking services on Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer in their datacenter to address data residency, security, and low-latency connections to local resources and real-time operations. With OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure and OCI Roving Edge Device, organizations can accelerate deployment of cloud workloads outside of the datacenter, manage mission-critical data at the edge, and run domain-specific LLMs or computer vision even in remote or disconnected locations.

Accelerating Innovation Through Multicloud
Oracle enables customers to seamlessly migrate their mission-critical Oracle database workloads to Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle Database@Azure, and Oracle Database@Google Cloud.

A unified experience with fully integrated support enables customers to simplify database administration and deployment, while migrating on-premises workloads to their preferred cloud without rearchitecting applications. Once migrated, customers can modernize their applications by combining enterprise data in Oracle Databases with each cloud provider's AI, analytics, and application services. With Oracle's multicloud services, customers optimize cost and performance, gain the flexibility to deploy workloads anywhere, and address regulatory and data sovereignty requirements.

The Performance Foundation for Next-Generation AI
Oracle brings leading-edge AI technology close to enterprise data and prioritizes security, adaptability, and scalability. This enables customers across industries to apply the right AI technologies—including generative and agentic AI—to the right business scenarios for immediate results.

With Oracle's distributed cloud, customers can run the most demanding AI workloads—such as frontier model training and inference, agentic AI, scientific computing, and recommendation systems—at speed and scale. OCI AI infrastructure provides industry-leading bare metal and virtual machine GPU cluster options—available anywhere in Oracle's distributed cloud—powered by an ultrahigh-bandwidth network and high-performance storage, to support high-throughput, latency-sensitive workloads.
