Best for cases where performance is not an issue.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a great fit when you need High-performance infrastructure for mission-critical apps that require low latency and high availability. Scalable compute services for big data analytics workloads that process massive datasets. Support for DevOps teams looking to streamline their development and deployment pipelines. But it might not be the best choice for Small-scale or low-traffic applications where you can find cheaper options elsewhere. Legacy workloads running on older tech like Oracle Solaris or Windows Server, where OCI's support may be limited.

Pros
  • HCP/HDI interface works like charm. it's easy to deploy and scale.
  • Hitachi customer support is at par with expectations
  • More cost effective than EMC/NetApp solutions.

  • Block Volume provides durability and stability to data. IOPS can be changed on the fly. Always stay true to the promised performance.
  • Block Volume can be encrypted with ease to meet compliance. Can also be easily integrated with OCI vault service for extra security.
  • Object Storage and File Storage are other forms of storage that are secure and extremely easy to configure. FSS is one of the best in the industry when it comes to reliability and performance.
  • SSD block volumes are persistent in OCI unlike many other clouds.

Cons
  • Cost structure is by capacity and is expensive
  • Some access settings are mutually exclusive for performance (REST vs. CIFS)
  • QoS by Tenant requires use of external ADC (Hitachi suggested and sold us Pulse Secure) and their support on this product offering is not up to their normally high standard

  • Navigating the UI takes lots of getting used to. It reminds me of older GCP (just to get used to where everything is).
  • Permission for different things always seemed to be more difficult than it really needed to be. Once you got them set up you were good but updating anything or creating new permissions for just about anything took longer than I thought it should.
  • Based on how the buttons were laid out, it was pretty easy to delete all of your DNS records, and backing them up was not as intuitive as I'd like with the UI, but it was easy to do using a script.

Usability

The services & products in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure needs more improvement to beat other Cloud service providers. The price is good & Security processes are good. We are requiring to put more effort in supporting this Oracle Cloud Infrastructure than other Cloud service providers. Probably better ways are there but is not super easy to find or not super available

Reliability and Availability

Yeah sometimes we had to face unplanned outages due to underlying infrastructure issues, so not every time,e but once in a while we face issues with availability. But the good thing is we have redundancy with DR setup and multi region so we can manage.

Performance

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure performance is good in terms of querying large datasets, and is also consistent. It integrates well with other third party applications, and doesn't noticeably seem to slow down. Complex analytical queries and reports are processed efficiently even with larger datasets. Auto-scaling has been useful for traffic handling as this is a major challenge for any application.

Overall it is amazing, there is always room for improvement. We have weekly updates that tend to slow the program used more and more. We had to change some reports within Oracle because the others wouldn’t load. This is tied to our payroll and the delays are causing many time constraint issues and panic. We have to create a new report when one breaks. Otherwise awesome!

Alternatives Considered
[Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)] has all of the features of competitive offerings and wraps them in a better multi-tenancy solution. It's object level permission model and non-overridable immutability (in Compliance mode for configured namespaces) is a bump up compared to other solutions. It's offering of it's own API as well as S3 REST support make it very flexible.

Performance and latency are excellent in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Except for AWS baremetal, I don't find anything like that. I found that, aside from conventional compute that works really good, they also offer HPC VDI. That's one of the strengths that should have more hype in OC advertising. After my tests, that were limited by the trial, I'm a net promoter of the service. I really miss the depth of my RDP connections and response times.
