Oracle Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape Report for Worldwide Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51813824, January 2025). A complimentary excerpt is available here.

The IDC MarketScape report evaluated 13 public cloud Infrastructure as a Service providers, evaluating each provider based on criteria such as their ability to deliver services at scale, the range of functionality offered, and innovation.

The report stated, "OCI's global reach is supported by high-speed interconnects, including partnerships with Microsoft Azure in 12 regions and Google Cloud in 11 regions. These interconnections enable joint customers to leverage OCI alongside Azure or Google Cloud with low latency and no data transfer fees, facilitating seamless multicloud architectures. Oracle's multicloud strategy and offerings extends directly into the other major hyperscalers with its Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, and Oracle Database@AWS services. Customers can run Exadata Database Service, as well as Autonomous Database, directly in the datacenters of the major hyperscalers, with the flexibility and choice of where their applications run or which cloud services they want to use."

"Oracle's cloud strategy is aligned with IDC's view into what customers want from their strategic providers," said Dave McCarthy, research vice president, IDC. "Flexible compute shapes and consistent deployment options that deliver cloud computing wherever organizations require it comes up as a persistent theme in our research and surveys. With OCI, Oracle continues to make significant investments in AI infrastructure—such as with OCI Supercluster, which is available with up to 131,072 NVIDIA GPUs—and multicloud solutions that create a differentiated cloud experience."

The report noted, "The partnerships with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are a strong differentiator, allowing Oracle to address multicloud needs effectively. With increasing numbers of regions interconnected with Azure and Google Cloud already, Oracle has strengthened its ability to cater to customers looking for a hybrid or multicloud approach. IDC believes the deep investments Oracle has made in OCI as well as enticements around pricing and fees have paid off."

"Oracle's heritage in enterprise software and databases provides a foundation of trust among long-standing clients, particularly those in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and government," the report added. "OCI Dedicated Region further strengthens Oracle's appeal to these industries by delivering the full range of Oracle Cloud services on premises, with compliance and latency requirements in mind."

The report noted, "OCI's compute portfolio remains varied, offering Intel, AMD, and Arm-based options with recent updates to support expanded GPU and AI/ML-focused instance types, such as NVIDIA A100 and H100 GPUs, to support AI model training."

"We believe Oracle's position as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape reflects the global demand we're seeing for our AI and cloud services," said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With consistent global pricing and a distributed cloud model, customers can optimize their cloud strategy wherever they operate however they want. Our fully integrated AI capabilities combined with the industry's most powerful AI infrastructure help customers innovate faster and drive more meaningful outcomes."
