Oracle-optimized is a planned service of the Open Telekom Cloud and is specifically designed to optimize the use of Oracle™ databases in the cloud. The service is based on the integration of Oracle Private Cloud Appliance™ devices that are fully compatible with Oracle™ Cloud Infrastructure. This enables companies to run their applications with improved scalability, performance and availability.
With Oracle-optimized, workloads can be flexibly moved between private and public clouds without compromising availability or performance. The solution is ideal for databases and middleware, enabling an efficient expansion of the number of cores in a multi-rack configuration. It also offers a significant reduction in license costs by requiring only one Oracle license for every 4 vCPUs. This allows organizations to deploy powerful applications while maintaining a tight cost control. Please note that users of Oracle-optimized are responsible for the licences (BYOL).
The following Oracle-optimized Server types* are offered:
Oracle-optimized Server Flavor | Hypervisor | vCPU | RAM | ZVS – hard disk size |
oo.xlarge.4 | KVM | 4 | 16 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.2xlarge.4 | KVM | 8 | 32 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.2xlarge.8 | KVM | 8 | 64 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.2xlarge.16 | KVM | 8 | 128 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.2xlarge.32 | KVM | 8 | 256 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.3xlarge.5 | KVM | 12 | 64 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.3xlarge.10 | KVM | 12 | 128 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.3xlarge.20 | KVM | 12 | 256 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.4xlarge.4 | KVM | 16 | 64 GB | up to 16 TB |
oo.4xlarge.8 | KVM | 16 | 128 GB | up to 16 TB |

*Remarks:
- All Oracle database implementations are based only on Linux Oracle as the operating system.
- If a database in the same availability zone (Magdeburg/Biere) crashes, a new instance with the same internal VPC IP address and the same flavor is automatically created within a few seconds. Users of Oracle-optimized will be informed directly in such a case. As the data is replicated in the ZFS storage in the same availability zone (Magdeburg/Biere), there is no data loss.
- The desired database version and the underlying Oracle Linux operating system will be provided as well as a login access with the aim to execute Oracle operating system and Oracle database patching/upgrades by customer.
- Oracle-optimized users are granted full root access to the database and are responsible for managing credentials and access.
Oracle™ databases are a prime example of exploding license costs in virtualized environments. With a suitable platform such as Private Cloud Appliance, companies can avoid unpleasant surprises with their software licenses.
Oracle-optimized offering is designed to provide high-performance computing resources, ideal for applications that require low latency and high throughput since it was designed and tested from Oracle™ to mainly support Oracle™ software.
As your business expands and requires larger database instances, our Oracle-optimized solution can seamlessly support your growth and help you scale up your databases.
