Partners drive innovation and customer success with Oracle Cloud Platform

6 November 2015 06:30 pm

Oracle announced that partners are driving innovation and business growth leveraging the Oracle Cloud Platform, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS), as the foundation for their cloud initiatives. Additionally, Oracle expanded its Oracle Cloud Platform services, providing partners with a broad range of modern, functionally rich and integrated services running in a secure, enterprise and standards-based cloud platform. 

Unlike other clouds that offer services in one or two layers, the Oracle Cloud is the only cloud that delivers a broad portfolio of integrated services across applications, platform and infrastructure.  Oracle Cloud Platform helps customers and partners develop and deploy new applications, extend and personalize Oracle SaaS applications and migrate existing on-premise applications to Oracle Cloud. Providing unmatched choice and flexibility, Oracle allows partners to choose the best platform for their enterprise workloads, including private clouds, Oracle Cloud and other public clouds.

“Oracle is seeing amazing uptake by partners offering applications and services complementing Oracle PaaS, Oracle IaaS and Oracle SaaS,” said Oracle Vice President Platform Products Sanjay Sinha.

“Hundreds of ISV applications are available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, providing a rich ecosystem for Oracle’s extensive global customer base. In addition, Systems Integrators have leveraged their investment in delivery capability and skills to build solutions on the Oracle Cloud Platform using proven technology and a clear roadmap for continued use of open standards in the cloud.”
Partners embrace new capabilities of Oracle IaaS
With new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, Oracle is helping partners leverage a complete infrastructure for building heterogeneous enterprise applications faster and more effectively. Along with new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, Oracle is also extending the Oracle Cloud Marketplace to offer partner-supported machine images of pre-configured applications and software that can easily be deployed onto the Oracle Compute Cloud. 
Already, leading Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Systems Integrator (SIs) partners have adopted Oracle IaaS, including Oracle Compute Cloud and Oracle Storage Cloud, providing customers the ability to run any workload in the cloud. Third party applications are available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, including Data Management, Analytics, Cloud Orchestration, Management, Monitoring, DevOps, Continuous Delivery and the most popular open source stacks, among other tools. As these applications are built on industry standards, SIs are able to leverage their existing skills and rich toolset to get customers up and running quickly. 

Partners extend applications to the cloud with Oracle PaaS
The Oracle Cloud Platform extends Oracle’s leadership with the world’s broadest and deepest portfolio of PaaS, IaaS and SaaS. Built on the performance and security of Oracle Database, Java and Oracle Fusion Middleware, the Oracle Cloud Platform provides ISVs and SIs a reliable and scalable platform to innovate and move their applications to the public cloud. With built-in multitenancy, in-memory analytics, mobile, integration, API catalog and social capabilities, Oracle PaaS also enables partners to extend the value of their applications, while providing customers with potential faster time to value at less cost.
