Oracle On Cloud

Run your Oracle Infrastructure on Amazon AWS cloud. Whether you want to use Oracle Database, Oracle Application Express or any other Oracle product save yourself from the headache of buying, installing, maintaining & upgrading servers and spending thousands of dollars in the process.

The Traditional Approach


  • Come up with the hardware sizing
  • Decide on hardware make and model
  • Get quotations
  • Negotiate price
  • Take approval from the management
  • Place order
  • Receive hardware
  • Allocate space for keeping the hardware
  • Arrange power supply & UPS
  • Install & configure the Operating System
  • Configure the network access
  • Install applications & start using
  • Maintain & Upgrade hardware on an ongoing basis
  • Cost - Thousands of dollars
  • Time - 4 - 8 weeks

The "Cloud" Approach


  • Come up with the hardware sizing
  • Sign up with Amazon AWS
  • Start the server with required sizing
  • Configure security access
  • Install applications & start using
  • Cost - From as low as US$ 50 per month
  • Time - Few hours (less than a day)

Benefits of Cloud


  • Get up and running a couple of hours or less
  • No up front investment, No long term commitment
  • Pay as you use. Don't use, don't pay
  • Scale up or down on demand. E.g. scaling up from 1 CPU to 4 CPU, 1 GB RAM to 10 GB RAM or 10 GB Hard Disk to 100 GB Hard disk is less than an hour
  • No physical space required. Save on the overheads of physically keeping the server in your own premises
