Oracle Brings the Cloud to YouImplement a Fully Managed Instance of Oracle Cloud Behind Your FirewallCloud Essentials
Executive SummaryOrganizations everywhere are migratingand ease of public cloud technology by usingtheir software applications, databases,Oracle’s cloud at customer portfolio. Each partand IT infrastructure to public clouds,of the portfolio provides a local instance of thedriven by three fundamental goals:public Oracle Cloud—one that physically resides Reduce the cost and complexity ofin your data center, behind your firewall.owning and operating on-premisesRead on to learn about this unique public cloudinformation systemssolution, which will help you: Accelerate IT delivery by adoptingthe cloud for specific initiatives Create versatile business modelsthat disrupt less nimble competitors.Although most of these organizations see thebenefits of migrating enterprise workloads tothe cloud, some are constrained by business,legislative, and regulatory requirements thatrequire them to keep their data on premises.If you can’t move your data to the publiccloud because of data privacy concerns,industry regulations, or unique securityrequirements, you can still take advantageof the scalability, affordability, Address data sovereignty, control, compliance,and latency concerns Migrate enterprise-critical IT workloads anddatabases to a flexible cloud environment Run public cloud SaaS applications in yourdata center Utilize a fully managed IT service, based ona subscription model Protect your investment in Oracle databases.
Overcoming Barriers to Cloud AdoptionWhile cloud adoption is on the rise, thepercentage of workloads deployed in thecloud is still relatively low. Roughly 70percent of all workloads are still deployedon premises today, versus 21 percent in ahybrid-cloud and on-premises combination.1One of the reasons for this low adoptionrate is the strict data sovereignty regulationsthat apply in heavily regulated industries,which dictate where data must reside.For example, financial institutions that storecustomer account data must comply withsecurity frameworks such as the PaymentCard Industry Data Security Standard (PCIDSS) and International Organization forStandardization (ISO) 27001. Healthcareorganizations that deal with sensitivepatient data must uphold Health InsurancePortability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)privacy and security regulations. Andall organizations that do business in thethe use of personal data. These regulationsare dynamic and regularly updated—andthe fines for noncompliance are severe: ashigh as 20 million for GDPR mishaps and inexcess of US 1.5 million per HIPAA violation.2 A complete Oracle Cloud experiencein your data centerThe Oracle Cloud at Customer portfolio isa fully managed public cloud service thatenables all of the innovations you’d expect,while meeting business and regulatoryrequirements, by keeping the storage ofdata behind your firewall. You gain all ofthe benefits of the public cloud, such asfast provisioning and elastic scalability,along with tight control over your data toalleviate any data sovereignty or governanceconcerns. It’s an ideal solution for highlyregulated industries such as publicsector, utilities, telecommunications,financial services, healthcare, and more.With the cloud at customer portfolio,you benefit from: Tight control over data sovereigntyand governance concernsEuropean Union must observe General DataProtection Regulations (GDPR) governing1 tml2 Harvard Business Review, “Clearing a Path to Public Cloud Adoption,” 2017.; G A PATH%20 TO CLOUD ADOPTION.pdf The ability to conform to all regulatory,privacy, and legal frameworks Single-vendor cloud accountabilityand management for database,and SaaS capabilities Seamless flexibility to move workloadsbetween cloud at customer and OracleCloud infrastructure Full integration with your networksecurity capabilities Low-latency interaction with other on-premises applications and data.The Smart Cloud AlternativeOracle’s cloud at customer portfoliocombines the elasticity and utility of thepublic cloud with the control, security,performance, and predictability ofon-premises computing environments.

AT&T Migrates Mission-Critical OLTP Databases to Oracle CloudOrganization: AT&T is a world leader incommunications, media and entertainment,and technology. As a Fortune 10 company,AT&T has recorded 34 consecutive yearsof quarterly dividend growth.Challenge: AT&T needed a cloud-basedsolution to run approximately 2,000mission-critical Oracle databases, eachgreater than 8 TB in size. Although thecompany’s general-purpose private cloudprovides an agile, automated IT environment,it cannot provide the required performancefor these large, transaction-intensivedatabases, many of which containcustomer data and must remain onpremises for regulatory, privacy,and security reasons.Solution: Oracle Cloud at Customer enablesAT&T to run mission-critical databases upto 100 TB in size in an Oracle-managedcloud that’s as flexible and scalable as apublic cloud—but is located in AT&T’s ownfacilities. These databases run on OracleDatabase Exadata Cloud at Customer, theworld’s most scalable and reliable platformfor running Oracle Database. Having anelastic, shared environment facilitatesscaling and allows resources to beeasily reallocated, based on demand.Results: AT&T has halved the time requiredto implement large, complex databases.The telecommunications giant can quicklyincrease capacity to meet peaks in demand,and cut usage when demand falls. OracleDatabase Exadata Cloud at Customerprovides the performance necessary forlarge, transaction-intensive databases.And because those databases run atAT&T facilities—behind the company’sfirewall—they also meet regulatory,privacy, and security needs.“ We believe that the future of the network is to be data-powered,to be software-centric, and to be fast and responsive. This collaborationwith Oracle accelerates our network transformation and migration tothe cloud to expand efficiency, [increase] performance, and reducecost while improving overall customer service.”John Donovan, CEO, AT&T Communications
