Over the past few years, enterprise adoption of public clouds has gone mainstream as companies took advantage of the pay-as-you-go economics, scale, and agility of cloud computing. Enterprises need a hybrid cloud architecture that includes the same services, same functionality, and easy portability of applications between their public and on-premises cloud environments to enable a seamless transition between the two.

No solution was able to bridge the gap between cloud and on-premises environments. On-premises offerings from other cloud providers offer a very small subset of their public cloud services. Enterprise customers want the full experience of a public cloud on-premises, including access to all of Oracle's cloud services, to run their most important workloads.

To overcome these issues, Larry Ellison, Chief Technology Officer and Chairman of Oracle, has recently announced the availability of Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer and Autonomous Database on Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer.

We've put together key highlights below and also sharing of customer case studies. Last but not least, following up from some of the teams' request, I've put together the entire Oracle team supporting Singtel for your reference, and please continue to reach out to me if you need any further support.
