Features

Run VMware workloads natively on Oracle Cloud

• Migrate VMware estate
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution allows customers to move VMware workloads to Oracle Cloud without having to modify them. Customers gain scale and agility while maintaining continuity with existing VMware-based tools, processes, and policies.
• Innovate on your timeline
  Migrate applications without having to make changes now, and later use Oracle Cloud services ranging from Oracle Autonomous Database to chatbots to modernize your applications.
• Run production applications in the cloud
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is built for enterprise applications supported on VMware and running on enterprise-class server processors, including applications from Oracle and other enterprise platforms.
• Disaster recovery where needed
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is deployable into all commercial (nongovernmental) Oracle Cloud Regions. Replicate or backup to the location of your choosing.
• VMware Cloud verified
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is VMware Cloud Verified. Run your VMware Cloud Foundation on Oracle’s next-generation cloud, while retaining full VMware administrative access and compatibility with VMware vCenter.

Dedicated environment with full control

• Complete control over the cloud stack
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution provides customers self-service provisioning with full administrative permissions including root access. Root access provides complete control over the entire hardware and software environment.
• Isolated and dedicated
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is a single-tenant solution, perfect for customers whose workloads demand isolated infrastructure and wish to avoid the resource contention found in competitive, multitenant environments.
• Security-first architecture
  Reduce risks with Oracle Cloud's security-first design architecture that utilizes built-in tenant isolation, least privilege access, and data encryption at rest. With Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, there are no ‘managed service’ security implications to consider, and access is private and entirely under your control.

Use the same VMware tools you use today

• Familiar application management
  VMware-based applications running on premises can be managed the same way on Oracle Cloud—using a single, integrated view.
• No retraining required
  Leverage your existing skill sets with the tools you’re already using on-premises, including vSphere, vCenter Server, vSAN, NSX, and HCX.
• Seamless cloud migration
  Extend your tested and proven on-premises IT deployment architectures and processes. Configure your cloud environment to match on-premises and keep them in-sync.
• Leverage VMware best practices
  Rely on VMware best practices with native tool integration and minimize disruption when moving to the cloud.

Ease of operations

• Avoid modifying applications
  Rely on a single VMware specification that works both on-premises and in the cloud. Avoid effort spent porting applications, refactoring code, or resolving configuration differences.
• Rely on native VMware tools
  Use the native VMware tools you’re already familiar with to manage your infrastructure and migration needs, minimizing organizational impact.
• Leverage existing skill sets
  Minimize change and impact on your workforce—Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is designed to work with your existing VMware skill set and tooling.

Leverage adjacent Oracle Cloud services

• Containers and microservices
  Modernize parts or all of your application stacks with native access to Container Engine for Kubernetes and Oracle Functions.
• Cloud database management
  Increase service levels and reduce overhead with a broad array of cloud databases such as Oracle Exadata, Autonomous Data Warehouse, Autonomous Transaction Processing, Oracle NoSQL Database, and more.
• Business analytics and data science
  Easily provide robust business analytics and data science capabilities to your business while leveraging the latest bare metal or virtual machine (VM) GPUs.
• Flexible and powerful compute
  Tackle general applications with new E3 flexible shapes, where customers specify the exact number of cores desired, from 1-64 OCPUs. Handle the highest performance workloads with the most powerful Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA-based bare metal machines available.
• Networking and connectivity
  Fast, reliable, and secure networking for performance-sensitive applications such as online transaction processing (OLTP), high-performance computing (HPC), and real-time streaming. Low-cost private connectivity to your facilities with FastConnect.
• Block, object, file, and NVMe storage
  Efficiently address all your storage needs with cloud-based block, object, file, archive, and local NVMe storage. Migrate with Data Transfer Appliance.

High-performance, elastic, and verified

• Powerful bare metal hardware
  Oracle Cloud VMware Solution’s bare metal compute instances provide customers with 156 cores, the highest CPU core count available for any VMware-based solution.
• High-speed virtual cloud network
  Oracle virtual cloud networks (VCN) provide a customizable and private network just like a traditional data center network. Easily access adjacent Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cloud services from your Oracle Cloud VMware Solution environment.
• Elastic capacity
  Scale large VMware deployments from 3 nodes to the current VMware limit of 64 hosts to accommodate growth.
• Designed, built, and supported by Oracle
  VMware Cloud verified. Compatible with the VMware ecosystem.
