just pay Oracle for what you need.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Oracle has announced the availability of its Compute Cloud@Customer on-prem 
cloud , which in its smallest state can fit onto a single rack. 

Despite its on-prem status, Oracle will build, install, own, and remotely 
manage the infrastructure platform so that IT teams can focus on their 
increasing list of responsibilities, which recently have included having more 
say in finances as they begin to work more closely with CTOs amid a troubling 
economy. 

Having control over Compute Cloud@Customers location also gives enterprises 
the power to exercise control over data residency and other compliance 
considerations. Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer on one rack 

The hardware uses 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors, each with 96 cores, and 
fast DDR5 memory. Customers can choose to dynamically scale their setup to 
the sum of up to 2,208 cores in a single rack, and 6,624 cores overall (which 
would make it a three-rack system). Read more

In the announcement , Oracle compared its setup to those of rivals: This 
configuration provides you with 3.8 times the number of cores per rack as an 
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outpost system and 1.4 times the number available 
with the densest Microsoft Azure Stack Hub system that weve been able to 
find. 

Storage ranges from 150 TB to 3.4 PB, however it is billable by consumption 
so those using less than 150 TB will pay a reduced rate accordingly. Storage 
can be configured as per customers requirements: object, block, and file. 
Oracle will also tailor the pricing based on cores. 

Oracle sets its cost per core for Compute Cloud@Customer at $53 per month, 
compared with AWS Outpostss $143 per month. Want somewhere to store your
