Oracle Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) Design Principles

First and foremost, our objective is to build services on standards including SQL, Java and HTML5. Building on standards has a lot of benefits, one of the most immediate being that you can run your applications in our cloud more transparently. That means you can port an application to your local environment without having to alter any code. Conversely, if you’re running a standards-based application on-premise and would like to move it to the cloud, you will be further along in the process to make that change. Our design principles also allow self-service. You can develop, deploy and manage with minimal involvement of your IT staff. That also means a minimal need to engage with Oracle, if you so choose.Another unique and a distinct advantage for Oracle Cloud users is the complete isolation of data. There is no comingling of your data, despite it being in a public cloud environment. The data isolation extends from the database itself all the way to the disk.  And finally, we offer robust integration capabilities. Oracle Cloud can be integrated with your on-premise investments as well as other cloud solutions that you may utilize. And, all of that integration is happening using service oriented architecture standards.
