What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) is our partner Oracle's next-generation Cloud platform that uses technologies such as containers, microservices and automation to deliver superior performance and scalability.

It provides a wide range of cloud computing, storage, networking, and security services for enterprises of all sizes and industries, as well as a wide range of specialized services such as databases, data analytics, AI and Machine Learning, Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) services.

OCI benefits for enterprises

Sovereignty: offers the ability to have full control over data and applications in the cloud. Enterprises can choose the geographic location of their data and ensure that they comply with local rules and regulations.
Low latency: has a global network of interconnected data centers, allowing for low latency in data transfer. This is beneficial for applications that require fast response, such as real-time applications or financial transactions.
Scalability and flexibility: allows companies to scale their resources quickly and efficiently according to their needs. They can dynamically increase or decrease processing, storage and networking capacity, allowing them to adapt to changes in demand or business growth.
Security: offers a wide range of security services to protect data and applications in the cloud. This includes data encryption, access control, threat detection and protection against DDoS attacks, among others.
Integration with existing technologies: Easily integrates with existing enterprise technologies and tools. This facilitates the migration of applications and data to the cloud without disruption and allows companies to leverage their previous investments.

Scalable, flexible, and secure Cloud solutions

Any company can take advantage of its services and benefit from using OCI. From startups to large enterprises, OCI offers scalable and flexible solutions to meet the needs of different industries and business sizes.

OCI is also particularly attractive to companies that require high performance, low latency, and control over their data, such as financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, and government companies, as well as e-commerce, media and entertainment, manufacturing, education, and many other industries that require a reliable and scalable Cloud infrastructure.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the Telefónica Tech portfolio

Oracle and Telefónica Tech global reached an agreement in 2022 that allowed us to expand our cloud services and reinforce our strategic positioning in PaaS with the inclusion of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in Telefónica Tech's growing portfolio.

This is Oracle's first region in Spain and is indicative of our "commitment to providing our customers with the most advanced solutions," market analysis firm Omdia recently noted.

☁️ PaaS (Platform as a Service) is a cloud service offering that makes it easier for developers and business users to create applications faster than on-premises solutions.

Cloud services with low latency and high security

Oracle relies on Telefónica Tech to host the Madrid region in our data centers, as well as the sovereign region providing Spanish customers with low latency and high security cloud services.

This collaboration also meets data residency and regulatory compliance requirements in Spain. Deploying the region on our infrastructures has allowed us to provide our B2B customers with all the advantages of Oracle technology on a proprietary architecture, managed by both companies. This means for our customers:

Reduction of delivery times, i.e., agility in the incorporation of innovation.
Improved data analysis and exploitation by facilitating the use of and access to data.
Reinforcement of security and reliability by protecting infrastructure and data.

In addition to commercializing OCI services, Telefónica Tech provides support in migration, deployment, and management with high capacities in professional and managed services.

Case Study: Grupo Editorial Joly

The case study of Grupo Editorial Joly is an example of how Telefónica Tech has been a key partner in the client's digital transformation through migration to the Oracle cloud, using OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) services.

Grupo Editorial Joly is a media company based in Spain. They were looking for a cloud solution in their digital transformation process that would allow them to improve efficiency, data analysis, and security of their infrastructure and data.).

Telefónica Tech, in collaboration with OCI, provided Grupo Editorial Joly with storage, processing, security and database services in the cloud. In addition to associated professional services for the deployment and implementation of the solution.

✅ Migrating to OCI enabled Grupo Editorial Joly to reduce turnaround times, speed up the incorporation of innovation, improve data analysis and exploitation, and strengthen the security and reliability of its infrastructure and data.

This success story demonstrates how OCI and Telefónica Tech have helped a media company leverage the benefits of the cloud to drive its digital transformation and improve its efficiency and security.
