Our Multicloud database business is our fastest growing business - up 817% in Q2. Oracle is building 72 multicloud datacenters embedded within Amazon, Google, and Microsoft clouds, and has over 211 live and planned cloud regions worldwide, more than any competitor. That's the "chip neutrality" strategy in action: Oracle runs wherever the customer wants to run, which is why hyperscalers are signing contracts, not competing with them.
By neoclouds, I'm referring to GPU-centric, purpose-built cloud services that focus primarily on AI training and inference rather than on the sprawling catalog of general-purpose services that hyperscalers offer. In many cases, these platforms deliver better price-performance for AI workloads because they're engineered for specific goals: keeping expensive accelerators highly utilized, minimizing platform overhead, and providing a clean path from model development to deployment.
For IT leaders navigating multicloud environments, success depends on strategic alignment across business units, robust governance frameworks, and proactive security postures. While multicloud offers agility and vendor flexibility, it also introduces challenges in visibility, compliance, and developer productivity. In this special report, you'll learn how to take advantage of the benefits of using multiple clouds, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure that multicloud is worth the investment.
