Object Storage: Used to store large amounts of data in a scalable manner. Object storage is suitable for scenarios involving big data, backups, and archiving.

File Storage: Used for applications that require shared file systems. It is ideal for sharing files among multiple virtual machines or users.

Oracle Networking Services

Oracle Networking Services is a service set encompassing network services within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). These services enable users to create flexible network structures, providing a secure, high-performance, and scalable network environment.

Virtual Cloud Network (VCN):

VCN (Virtual Cloud Network) is one of the fundamental building blocks of the Oracle Cloud network. Users can create and customize their own private virtual networks.

They can determine IP address ranges and segment network resources by creating subnets.

Subnets:

Subnets are used to further segment resources within a VCN.

Each subnet can be configured to apply different network security rules and management policies.

Security Lists Network Security Groups:

Security lists are used to control and filter incoming and outgoing traffic.

Network security groups are used to apply security policies by grouping resources with similar security requirements.

Load Balancer:

Load balancers balance incoming network traffic, distributing the load across multiple targets.

This enables applications to achieve higher performance and availability.

Oracle FastConnect and VPN Connections:

Oracle FastConnect enables customers to establish low-latency, high-bandwidth private connections between their private data centers and Oracle Cloud.

DNS Services:

Oracle Cloud provides DNS services, allowing users to map domain names to IP addresses and route network traffic accordingly.

Dedicated Interconnects and FastConnect Classic:

Dedicated Interconnects and FastConnect Classic enable the establishment of high-speed, low-latency private connections between Oracle Cloud and customer private data centers.

Edge Services:

Oracle Cloud includes edge services such as Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Web Application Firewall (WAF), allowing users to distribute and optimize content worldwide.

Oracle Cloud DNS provides a reliable and high-performance DNS solution.

Oracle Database Services

Oracle Database Services represent cloud-based database services within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Oracle is one of the world’s leading database providers, and Oracle Database Services aims to provide customers with scalable, secure, and high-performance database solutions.
