1. Unmatched Cost Efficiency
OCI offers globally consistent and transparent pricing. Compared to other major public clouds, compute costs can be up to 50% lower.
For high outbound data usage, OCI is widely recognised as one of the most cost-effective options—significantly reducing cross-border bandwidth expenses.
2. Zero Waste with Flexible Resource Shapes
Industry-leading customisable compute shapes allow precise selection of CPU cores and memory (e.g. 3 CPU cores with 17 GB RAM).
Pay only for what you use—no forced bundles, no idle resources.
3. Database Operations at Half the Cost
With Autonomous Database, tuning, backups, and security patching are fully automated—reducing manual operations effort by up to 80%.
Oracle databases run with maximum performance and minimum cost on OCI.
4. Built-In Enterprise-Grade Security at No Extra Cost
OCI is built on the principle that security should not be an add-on.
Core security services—such as Cloud Guard, Security Zones, and baseline WAF capabilities—are included by default, helping enterprises reduce costly security licensing fees while strengthening protection
