LAS
VEGAS, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
CloudWorld -- Oracle today announced new Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) distributed cloud innovations to
help meet the rapidly growing global demand for its AI and cloud
services. The latest innovations span Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle
Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, OCI Dedicated Region,
and OCI Supercluster. With Oracle's distributed cloud, customers
can deploy OCI's 150+ AI and cloud services at the edge, in their
own datacenter, across clouds, or in the public cloud and can help
address a variety of data privacy, sovereign AI, and low latency
requirements. In addition, Oracle Cloud is available in more
locations than any other hyperscaler, with 85 regions live and 77
planned.
"Our priority is giving customers the choice and flexibility to
leverage cloud services in the model that makes the most sense for
their business," said Mahesh
Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. "With OCI's distributed cloud capabilities, we're
helping customers deploy a dedicated cloud in a small, scalable
footprint, build applications with the best services across cloud
providers, and deploy AI infrastructure anywhere they want. This
flexibility helps our customers address their unique needs and
support their cloud investments in delivering significant business
value."
Oracle Offers Largest AI Supercomputer in the
Cloud
OCI is now taking orders for the largest AI
supercomputer in the cloud – available with up to 131,072 NVIDIA
Blackwell GPUs – delivering an unprecedented 2.4 zettaFLOPS of peak
performance. The maximum scale of OCI Supercluster offers more
than three times as many GPUs as the Frontier supercomputer and
more than six times that of other hyperscalers. OCI Supercluster
includes OCI Compute Bare Metal, ultra-low latency RoCEv2 with
ConnectX-7 NICs and ConnectX-8 SuperNICs or NVIDIA Quantum-2
InfiniBand-based networks, and a choice of HPC storage. To learn

New OCI AI Infrastructure Enables Training and Inferencing
for AI Sovereignty
Oracle and NVIDIA are delivering
accelerated computing and generative AI services that help
organizations build and maintain sovereign AI models in their
country or retain AI-generated data with strong data residency
controls.
OCI Compute based on NVIDIA L40S GPUs, NVIDIA Hopper
architecture GPUs, and NVIDIA Blackwell platforms are now orderable
to support sovereign AI deployments. NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform
for developing OpenUSD applications for industrial digitalization
and generative physical AI, is validated on OCI and available to
support many developer use cases, including sovereign AI.
New OCI Dedicated Region25 configuration
brings AI and cloud services to more customers
A new OCI
Dedicated Region configuration – Dedicated
Region25 – will be available in a smaller,
scalable size starting at only three racks and rapidly deployable
within weeks. Dedicated Region25 has a 75 percent
smaller launch footprint and simplified datacenter requirements,
supports OCI's 150+ AI and cloud services and allows a wider range
of customers to gain the agility, economics, and scale of the
public cloud in their own datacenters. The new configuration will
be available in the next calendar year.
Oracle Expands Multicloud Capabilities with Three
Groundbreaking Hyperscaler Partnerships
OCI enables
customers to combine cloud services from multiple clouds to
optimize cost, functionality, and performance. With Oracle
Database@AWS, Oracle Database@Azure, and Oracle Database@Google
Cloud, customers gain direct access to Oracle Database services
running on OCI and deployed directly in the datacenters of the four
largest hyperscalers. Through these partnerships, customer have the
flexibility to run their applications across clouds and combine all
the benefits of Oracle Database services with services from other
cloud providers for a seamless multicloud experience. In addition,
customer benefit from the simplicity, security, and low latency of
a unified operating environment.
In addition, to help customers accelerate AI innovation and
leverage cloud services wherever they choose, Oracle has introduced
the following distributed cloud innovations:
- OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure enhancements support remote
AI inferencing: New versions of the OCI Roving Edge Device,
including a new three-GPU option optimized for AI, are now
generally available to help customers leverage remote AI
inferencing at the edge. This enables customers to manage
mission-critical data at the edge and run domain-specific LLMs or
computer vision even in remote or disconnected locations. OCI
Roving Edge Infrastructure consists of multiple configurations of
ruggedized and portable high-performance devices, weighing less
than 35 lb. (without the case), equipped with 56 cores (102 virtual
CPUs), 512 GB of RAM, and up to 123 TB of storage.
- HeatWave delivers new GenAI and multicloud capabilities:
New HeatWave capabilities and innovations help organizations easily
and securely take advantage of generative AI both in OCI and Amazon
Web Services (AWS). Additional new capabilities help customers
quickly and securely implement lakehouse and machine learning
applications for a wider variety of use cases, as well as help
improve the performance and manageability of transactional
applications.
- New OCI Generative AI innovations help customers turn data
into a competitive advantage: OCI Generative AI (GenAI) Agents
with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities and enhanced
Oracle AI innovations are now generally available. The new
capabilities help customers turn their data into a competitive
advantage by making it easier to apply AI to real-world business
operations.
