Oracle Cloud Infrastructure vs. Platform9 Managed OpenStack

We have used oracle cloud-based solutions for 8 years and it has been very good. We had a cyber-attack recently and our files were protected. We are lucky to have security but we need to switch more applications to oracle. We are hoping as we integrate more fictions that they all work together seamlessly.

If you're having OnPremise Infrastructure and you want to use OpenStack in that case Platform9 Managed OpenStack is recommended to use it will cut down all the complexities of setting up and managing OpenStack IaaS. Platform9 also offers setting up OpenStack on Cloud Such as AWS, GCP, and Azure but wouldn't recommend using this kind of offering as Openstack performs well when underneath virtualized infrastructure is backed directly hypervisors not cloud providers.

• Block Volume provides durability and stability to data. IOPS can be changed on the fly. Always stay true to the promised performance.
• Block Volume can be encrypted with ease to meet compliance. Can also be easily integrated with OCI vault service for extra security.
• Object Storage and File Storage are other forms of storage that are secure and extremely easy to configure. FSS is one of the best in the industry when it comes to reliability and performance.
• SSD block volumes are persistent in OCI unlike many other clouds.

• It removes all the Openstack complexities and provides a simple UI to the end user.
• Reduced the pain of System Administrator and Engineers.
• Highly responsive support.

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is a fully managed service that makes it a little hard sometimes to fine tune HPC workloads, for example AI/Deep learning training where a lot of data transfer and compute is needed.
• The initial setup can certainly be improved with less steps to make it faster and easier to deploy compared to the competition, for example Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
• Documentation and best practice documentation for OKE can be improved especially since there are not a lot of customer references available for large scale deployments that need fine tuned performance.

• User interface and User experience are not upto the mark. UI needs lots of improvements.
• We need to do entire setup from the scratch.
• Nothing as such other than UI Improvements.

Very likely. Our business solely relies on OCI

The services & products in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure needs more improvement to beat other Cloud service providers. The price is good & Security processes are good. We are requiring to put more effort in supporting this Oracle Cloud Infrastructure than other Cloud service providers. Probably better ways are there but is not super easy to find or not super available

highly available.

good performance . good integration.

Support has always been great, especially during production cutover. They are always responsive whenever we need them. However, to get this level of support, you have to raise it at level 1 priority since for level 2, they become a little less engaging. But overall, support is good since they know how to deal with problems.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has the most required cloud capabilities, which enable [the] possibility of multiple things like data analytics, network monitoring, and easy for the user to easily transfer many different data on the cloud very securely. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has great activity tracking functions which are easily manipulated by any user.

was not part of initial purchase team. Anyways, i think unit pricing and billing frequency is good compared to other Cloud service providers, when it comes to Cloud Capital expenditure & Operational expenditure. Would be more interested in exploring more options where customers can get more cost relaxations on trying out new cloud services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for example a new App or a feature

useful product.

Services & Infra wise is ok to use & host applications & services. Security wise also good for a Cloud service provider. It is a interesting area to explore & using it for day to day needs can be further improvised in future probably. Modern day Services like AI and Machine learning could be improved

• We have been able to test at low scale complex solutions using OCI
• The Free Tier option can be used to test easy of configuration and deployment
• Since pricing is in U.S. Dollars, it can be a problem in countries with less stable currencies

• Platform9 simplified scaling in and out hypervisors now adding capacity takes very less time than other OpenStack environments.
• Platfrom9 Managed Openstack gives us feeling of having our own private cloud!
• It has increased the availability of our infrastructure which resulted lessen downtime on workloads deployed on top of it.
• Overall it benefited us in all means.
