This guide explains why more CIOs are reassessing the value of on-premises data centres and shifting mission-critical workloads to the cloud. With hardware nearing end-of-life, rising real-estate and utility costs, and growing pressure for innovation, organisations are turning to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to improve performance, reduce overheads and accelerate time to market.
