Oracle, the cloud major, on Tuesday revealed its unique portable solution which will deliver core infrastructure services to the remote locations, independent of anything, from plane to a polar observatory to an oil tanker in the mid-Atlantics.

Known as the Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure, it is the new service part of the company from comprehensive hybrid cloud portfolio, which provides customers with more flexibility and control over their cloud deployments than rest of the vendors.

The Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Clay Magouryk said, “Customers want variations for operating workloads in the cloud. Customers have different requisites, based on data sovereignty, scale or demand the full experience of a Public Cloud on-premise with every Oracle cloud service.”

Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure is the latest exemplary technology for customers, which delivers core infrastructure services to the remote locations.

Magouryk released a statement saying, “Oracle's hybrid cloud portfolio essentially delivers a cloud region wherever and however a customer needs it."

Oracle Roving Edge Infrastructure is an entirely mobile, connection-independent extension of customers’ Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) tenancy with an equivalent interface and workflow for providing a consistent and unified experience.

This solution brings core infrastructure services to the edge with Roving Edge Devices (REDs) which are ruggedized, portable, scalable server nodes.

An Oracle RED device is equipped with high-performance hardware which includes 40 OCPUs, an NVIDIA T4 Tensor Core GPU, 512 GB RAM, and 61TB of storage. It can be clustered into groups of 5 to 15 nodes in a single cluster, starting at $160 per node per day.
