Oracle Democratizes the Power of the Cloud with Oracle Alloy

Oracle today introduced Oracle Alloy, a new cloud infrastructure platform that enables service providers, integrators, independent software vendors (ISVs), and other organizations such as financial institutions or telecommunications providers, to become cloud providers and deploy new cloud services for your customers. With Alloy, these organizations can offer a complete set of cloud services, tailor and personalize experiences, and package additional value-added services and applications to meet the specific needs of their markets and business sectors. These entities can also use Alloy independently in their own data centers, fully controlling their operations to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Service providers, integrators, and independent software vendors (ISVs) partner with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to offer applications and services tailored to specific industries, markets, and government or regulatory requirements. To enable these partners to take advantage of the cloud’s unprecedented performance, reach and business opportunities, as well as innovate at the speed of hyperscalers, Alloy will help them become cloud providers and innovate faster and more efficiently. with a higher level of customization and control. For example, with Alloy, partners will be able to serve the public sector and other industries that want to keep their workloads home and operate their clouds independently. In addition, Alloy will enable partners who host customers in their own data centers to unlock new growth opportunities beyond the public cloud.

“Giving our partners and customers more choice has long been a key priority for OCI. Today, we are going one step further by giving our partners the opportunity to become cloud providers, so they can more quickly create new services and meet specific market and regulatory requirements,” said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. . “As providers of cloud services, our partners have greater control over the customer experience or industry they target, including where workloads reside and how their cloud is used.”

Oracle Alloy is a new cloud infrastructure platform that enables service providers, integrators, ISVs, and other organizations to become cloud providers.

“Oracle Alloy’s ability to extend OCI’s many platform and infrastructure services into partner-controlled environments could have great appeal to end customers, who increasingly want cloud environments that live closer to them, whether

for performance reasons, the growing demand for data sovereignty, or simply to leverage relationships with existing trusted service providers,” said Chris Kanaracus, research director at IDC. “They also want cloud services tailored to their industries. Also, at IDC we increasingly see the cloud as something that is not tied to a specific location, but rather as a consistent operating model for IT. Oracle Alloy reflects these trends.”

All OCI public cloud services available to partners

Alloy is a platform that offers the same 100+ infrastructure and platform services available in OCI’s public cloud. In this way, partners can offer the market a pre-integrated hardware and software platform deployed in their own data centers. This allows them to enter new markets and generate new revenue streams, with cloud services already proven by thousands of customers around the world.

“We are excited about Oracle’s vision to enable its partners and customers to further manage and personalize cloud resources, which will provide broader access to public cloud innovation across the cloud continuum. Accelerating cloud adoption, while supporting our clients’ unique industry, market and regulatory needs, will create new types of business value,” said David Wood, global strategy lead, Accenture Cloud First.

Full control of customization and configuration

Oracle Alloy enables our partners to offer cloud services under their own brand, with control over business terms, customer relationships, and points of contact. Providers can customize the OCI console with their own branding, as well as customize customer notifications, alerts, SDKs, and documentation. Additionally, partners can set their own prices, fees, account types, discount programs, and define their support structure and service levels. With the built-in financial management capabilities of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, Oracle Alloy enables partners to manage the customer lifecycle through billing and collection.

Faster development of new services and value-added applications in the cloud

Oracle Alloy offers software and hardware extensibility. Leveraging the same developers, user experience, DevOps, and security tools that native OCI services are built with today, partners can build their own cloud services, tailored to the needs of specific markets or industries. They can also bring their own hardware devices, such as specific types of computing or mainframes, to Alloy and offer new cloud services based on them. OCI was designed to support a broad set of underlying hardware. Partners can now take advantage of this architecture to serve their customers.
