It is really helpful in the scenarios of Big data and Large data where the result display takes less time to display. Its user-based role assignation helps in increased security and Privacy. It gives a broad way for analytics.
It is less suited for small-sized data requirements as the cost to output is low.

Great for when unknown amounts of storage required. Makes it simple to manage your database infrastructure.It is also well suited for monitoring. Whether this be checking containers, having alarms setup for various alerts, Reviewing the performance of the Infrastructur, Providing logs for auditing purposes. Furthermore it provides a wide range of access controls to restrict account access and authorization which is important for security.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers full stack disaster recovery which encompasses multiple layers (application, middleware, database, infrastructure), and delivers this decently. Various disaster recovery standbys are available, and the single click disaster recovery plan creation and management tool has been especially useful for us since this is our first time implementing true disaster recovery preparation. Unfortunately, our experience with tech support, when needed, has not been fantastic and this is an issue that has to be taken into consideration.

Although Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is suited for Oracle clients with support of Oracle services, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to save some bucks while utilising the cloud services. We migrated towards Oracle Cloud Infrastructure due to low cost and support of "Dubai" and "Abu Dhabi" regions. We have segregated the regions but configured cross-region private connectivity between tenancies using VCN peering, which works like a charm. The only issue I have is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure lacks a little in ease of user experience in comparison to other cloud platforms, but if it's not a deal breaker for you, then Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is recommended.

It is a service that enables us to divide incoming network traffic among numerous resources, including virtual computers. By intelligently routing requests, it guarantees fault tolerance and high availability. Application performance is enhanced, and resource utilization is optimized by load balancing. SSL/TLS termination and public and private load balancing are supported. Using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or APIs, load balancers are simple to set up and configure.

Iaas parts are almost the same for OCI and other providers, but OCI provides better prices for small organizations; you may not use some paas&saas parts, like the Oracle database, as it's expensive. When you choose OCI, you may use the free support(they said), but we never used it; the documents cover nearly everything you need for IAAS services.

1. Good collaboration with Microsoft Azure for adopting Multi-cloud services specially Azure for application side services and OCI for database side features.
2. Best for high-performance computing which could run multiple complex simulations along with artificial intelligence as an additional addon.
3. Very well suited for the pricing factors as it has much cheaper rates compared to its competitors (though needs lacks a bit of flexibility).

I feel like there are scenarios where Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is well suited: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's state-of-the-art computing capabilities and data management services help organizations analyze and manage large datasets. It is ideal for big data systems like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a strong choice for enterprise web hosting packages, especially those that rely on Oracle technologies, such as Oracle Database, Oracle Exa-data, and Oracle E-Business Suite. Its seamless integration with Oracle products makes it a natural fit.

If you need stable and performant application services to feed to the web, app, or analytics routines then you should be looking at Oracle. I've had exposure with services for channels in Retail, Travel, and Marketing Analytics for batch and close to near real time scenarios and it is best in class suited for these industries.

As per our experience, OCI suites well when there are simple workloads that require minimum cloud services. This is useful for many small to medium-scale applications to run on the cloud at a low cost or for accounting/finance services. It is also not recommended for hybrid workflows (as there is no support, which was our case).

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is well suited for users who are starting with the cloud and migrating on-prem solutions to the cloud. The huge range of microservices available makes it easier to develop and deploy solutions. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure works really well to handle data security and storage requirements for heavily regulated industries like banking. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is lacking compared to its competitors when it comes to multiple available regions globally, which can impact some use cases where low latency is required.

For a complex, multi tier, multi environment architecture where separate copies of the database have to be maintained with vertical scalability a distinct alternative based on the resource capabilities of the org, I'd recommend OCI. However, for smaller teams, it's recommended to go on a pay as you scale model

MySQL is generally used in OlTP environments , but OCI brings in OlAP capabilities with very good results

the costing is less compared to its competitors
storage services are very good and provide easy scalability and life cycle management brings in cost savings
It has fewer no sql offerings compared to other cloud providers and maybe would be good idea to bring in more in their portfolio

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is well suited for business who want to migrate their own prem resources to cloud in minimum efforts and resources as it provides several options for migration such as storage gateway with secure gateway while on the other hand oracle cloud infra should focus more on integration with other services and application , and should should increase services as provided by other cloud providers.

We are a business in financial services with 5 employees. Each can work from remote locations, When we used Oracle Cloud several years ago functionality, cost, security, data sharing, were all well provided. These did include standard training and start-up costs. Our business grew as well as our efficiencies. Oracle added services that were not as relevant to our needs. A larger sales force could have justified continuing but we did opt for a change.

The use case scenarios of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure depend on multiple factors like size of the company, budget the type of application that you want to run but in general it is best suited for large Enterprise Companies which are on a Hybrid cloud model and which need services like Data analytics and HPC. It is not suited for small startups, short-term projects, third-party integrations, etc. due to budget constraints and compatibility issues in my opinion.

We are using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for 20 to 30 sites and all of them very high in transactions and content oriented. The views per site per day each of these websites generate range between 5000-8000. But using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is really up to the mark because we have not seen much performance oriented or website availability oriented issues.

Oracle Cloude Infrastructure (OCI) is well suited for conducting exploratory trials of a 5G network slicing technology. It is easy to create virtualized network slices with varying QoS parameters, experiment with edge computing capabilities and analyze performance metrics. It's scalability and robust networking capabilities support agile testing and optimization. However, when we want to conducting rapid, short-term experimentation with a limited budget and minimal setup complexity, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure may be less appropriate. Moreover, its extensive capabilities may not be necessary for straightforward, low-risk experiments with minimal resource requirements.

If we are using sockets with our project and the user cloud is too much on server then Oracle Cloud Infrastructure can handle the sockets with very high performance as compair to others, Its my personal experience. I also worked on the other clouds but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is more preferable from my side.

Well Suited Scenario:
- Easy to use
- Cost is less compare to other public cloud
- support is excellent
- Most of the resources/tools are available
Less suited:
- For Oracle Cloud Infrastructure internal issue they are not publishing outrage notification for the client
- Quota capacity is not enable by default

I really like using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute instances next to other instances with other providers to have some redundancy and have not all my eggs in one basket. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure does most of what I need. It works well and is easy to setup and maintain. I can definitely recommend it.

Since, I have used the product only for 2 purposes, i.e., storage and email communication. I can say that it definitely works for mid-market or enterprise companies who want to find an economical and user-friendly infrastructure to manage and store their data in servers with ease. The security Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides is commendable, and it can really store large amounts of data. The data migration service is also amazing. The set up is fairly easy and can be deployed within a shorter duration of time. Also, the organizations who need to send out marketing or transactional emails in bulk without worrying too much about their email deliverability and worrying about it ending up in spam or bounce, this can come in handy. It's very cost effective and at the same time extremely powerful.

Ideal for Oracle Linux and database infrastructure using Oracle Data Guard or Goldengate configurations. In my opinion, the support in contrast is not at par with Oracle database support and lacks ownership and support quality
