Oracle Cloud Applications


Oracle Cloud

Oracle Cloud Overview

Oracle Cloud Computing

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)


Oracle Cloud | Overview

Oracle Cloud is the industry's broadest and most integrated public cloud, offering best-in-class services across software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and data as a service (DaaS). Oracle Cloud helps organizations drive innovation and business transformation by increasing business agility, lowering costs, and reducing IT complexity.

Delivering benefits around cost, security, management, workflow, and business integration, this multilayer approach to the cloud is embodied in each category of Oracle Cloud services:

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)


Oracle Cloud | Overview


Oracle Cloud | Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software as a Service

Software as a service is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It is sometimes referred to as "on-demand software". SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser.

Oracle Software as a Service

Modern cloud applications from Oracle help you re-imagine your business. The best-of-breed SaaS applications in Oracle Cloud are integrated with social, mobile, and analytic capabilities to help you deliver the experiences customers expect, the talent to succeed, and the performance the market demands.

Oracle Cloud | Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Platform as a Service

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a category of cloud computing services that provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run and manage Web applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app.

Oracle Platform as a Service

Oracle Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) helps enterprise IT and independent software vendor (ISV) developers rapidly build and deploy rich applications - or extend Oracle Cloud SaaS apps - using an enterprise-grade cloud platform based on the industry's #1 database and application server.



Platform-as-a-Service(PaaS) VS On-Premise Software

Before the rise of SaaS (Software-as-Service) solutions, enterprise software was delivered via on-premise installation. Customers would buy the software license, the hardware (servers) to run it on, find office space to store the servers, and hire staff to manage it all. All this was designed long before the rise of the Internet.

While expensive, on-premise solutions did provide the flexibility to tailor the application to specific customer needs, creating the ever-popular term, “customizations”. Customers enjoyed the flexibility to customize the application any way they wanted, but an unintended consequence soon arose. When it came time to upgrade to a newer version, all those customizations made upgrading extremely complex, time-consuming, and expensive. So much so that many chose to stay on older versions rather than go through an upgrade. Basically their customizations made it nearly impossible to upgrade to a newer version.

Oracle Cloud | Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a form of cloud computing that provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet. IaaS is one of three main categories of cloud computing services, alongside Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).

Oracle Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers a set of core infrastructure capabilities like elastic compute and storage to provide customers the ability to run any workload in the cloud.
