Larry Ellison, Oracle executive board chairman and CTO, has announced additions to the Oracle Cloud Platform, a comprehensive, integrated suite of services that make it easier for developers, IT professionals, business users and analysts to build, extend and integrate cloud applications.
The company, in a press statement on Tuesday, said with more than 24 new cloud services, the Oracle Cloud Platform extends Oracle’s leadership with the world’s broadest and deepest portfolio of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS.
Newly available Oracle Cloud services include Oracle Database Cloud – Exadata, Oracle Archive Storage Cloud, Oracle Big Data Cloud,Oracle Integration Cloud, Oracle Mobile Cloud, and Oracle Process Cloud.

With the Oracle Cloud Platform,customers and partners are able to take advantage of the industry-leading Oracle middleware and database software that thousands of global organisations already use to run their own businesses, all delivered via cloud.
The extensive level of automation that has been engineered into the Oracle Cloud, results in faster time-to-value, greater innovation, and lower cost for customers.

“Oracle is growing really fast. We sold $426m worth of business in SaaS and PaaS last quarter, a 200 percent increase over the same quarter last year. That’s an industry record, no company has ever sold that much in just one quarter,” Ellison said.
“Oracle is the only company on the planet that can deliver a complete, integrated, standards-based suite of services at every layer of the cloud. Those technology advantages enable us to be much more cost-effective than our competitors. Our new Archive Storage service goes head-to-head with Amazon Glacier and it’s one-tenth their price.”
Oracle Cloud Platform is experiencing exponential growth and is already powering some of the world’s most recognisable brands and organisations.
Oracle Cloud Platform has more than 1,800 customers with 1,419 added in the last quarter.
