Oracle’s Cloud VMware Solution, owned by Oracle, is gaining popularity among global organizations seeking to modernize their IT infrastructure and migrate critical applications to the cloud. Various companies, including Ahold Delhaize, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Lemtrans, and Mazda Motors Logistics Europe NV, have successfully utilized this solution to transition from on-premises data centers to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The appeal lies in the streamlined migration process that enables organizations to maintain control of their VMware environments, retaining existing IT skills and tools while reducing the learning curve and risks associated with cloud migration.
Ahold Delhaize, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Lemtrans, and Mazda Motors Logistics Europe NV have all experienced benefits from migrating to Oracle’s cloud services. Ahold Delhaize reduced its data center footprint by migrating over 400 VMware virtual machines, while Hitachi Construction Machinery achieved a 20% reduction in infrastructure operating costs and improved processing performance by migrating approximately 500 virtual servers and 100 databases. Lemtrans ensured business continuity and improved resilience by swiftly moving critical processes and databases to the cloud, and Mazda Motors Logistics Europe NV successfully phased out data centers by consolidating applications and databases into Oracle’s cloud services.
Oracle has recently introduced new compute options to enhance the capabilities of its Cloud VMware Solution, including a new OCI Compute form factor with an NVIDIA A10 Tensor Core GPU and an Intel Xeon Platinum 8358 processor. The company plans to expand further with another compute unit based on the AMD EPYC 9J14 processor. By expanding its service offerings, Oracle aims to provide customers with improved performance and flexibility across a variety of workloads in VMware environments.
As more organizations recognize the benefits of Oracle’s Cloud VMware Solution, Oracle’s focus on preserving existing IT investments while delivering enhanced cloud capabilities positions the company strongly in the competitive cloud infrastructure market. Global spending on cloud infrastructure services is projected to grow, and Oracle faces competition from other cloud giants like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Despite this competition, Oracle distinguishes itself as the only hyperscaler offering AI and a full suite of over 100 cloud services in dedicated, public, and hybrid cloud environments worldwide.
With expected growth in total cloud revenue and cloud infrastructure services, Oracle is positioned to continue its success in providing cloud infrastructure solutions for enterprises seeking to modernize their IT operations while maintaining control of their VMware environments.
