Lower costs with high-performance consolidation
Oracle Hardware lowers the cost of running on-premises workloads by reducing the number of systems required, delivering higher performance per software license, and reducing IT staff workloads. Oracle Private Cloud Appliance allows customers to consolidate containerized, cloud native applications—and those running natively on multiple operating systems—onto a single platform, while Cloud@Customer solutions enable organizations to benefit from consumption-based economics in their own data centers.
