Oracle Cloud - Overview
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers robust cloud storage services designed for enterprise workloads. It offers block, file, object, and archive storage solutions with high performance (up to 1.3 million IOPS per instance), extreme scalability (supporting petabytes to exabytes), and eleven nines durability. Tiering and lifecycle policies automate data management, while global replication ensures business continuity. Supported by Oracle’s secure, compliant infrastructure, OCI storage seamlessly integrates with AI, databases, analytics, and compute services, empowering businesses with scalable, efficient, and secure data storage to accelerate innovation.
01
Block Volume Storage
OCI Block Volumes deliver high IOPS and low latency, ideal for production databases, containers, and OLTP systems. Volumes scale to 1 PB and support autotune performance, helping optimize cost and speed for transactional workloads.
02
Object Storage
This internet-scale, cost-efficient storage supports unlimited unstructured data, suitable for media, backups, and data lakes. It provides eleven nines durability and multi-region access with lifecycle policies, ensuring reliability and compliance.
03
File Storage
OCI File Storage offers a fully managed NFSv3-compatible file system that scales up to 8 exabytes. It supports multi-node access, snapshots, asynchronous replication, and strong redundancy across fault domains.
04
Archive Storage
Designed for long-term retention and regulatory compliance, OCI Archive Storage stores historical data, logs, or backups at a significantly lower cost, leveraging tiered access controls and deep durability.
05
Lifecycle Management & Replication
Automate data lifecycle with tiering rules, retention policies, and global replication for disaster recovery. Policy enforcement ensures that data moves efficiently between tiers and regions.
06
Secure and Compliant Infrastructure
OCI Storage underpins enterprise security with IAM controls, encryption, data erasure, region-level redundancy, and compliance certifications. Admins have full visibility and auditing through integrated tools.
Enterprises

Collects and stores sensor-generated telemetry, historical logs, and predictive maintenance artifacts with object and archive tiers.
Government & Public Sector
Meets stringent security and archival compliance with encrypted and geo-redundant storage tailored for public data.
01
OCI Generative AI for Storage Metadata
This managed service uses AI to auto-generate object metadata, such as tags, descriptions, and classifications, making unstructured data searchable and usable without manual indexing.
02
AI-Based Lifecycle Recommendations
AI models analyze access patterns and usage trends to recommend optimal tiering policies, helping organizations minimize costs while maintaining performance.
03
Vector Search and Semantic Data Retrieval
Leveraging Oracle Database 23ai, OCI enables semantic search of stored objects, enhancing data discovery and analytics workflows.
04
Anomaly Detection in Data Access
AI-driven monitoring flags unusual access events, indicating performance bottlenecks or potential security breaches, allowing swift remediation and operational stability.
