Oracle has expanded its cloud offering with the addition of six new services.
During the Oracle OpenWorld 2014 conference in San Francisco this week, the company announced the expansion of the Oracle Cloud platform to include new functionality for big data analytics, integration, process management, Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), and Node.js for server-side JavaScript.
In a keynote address during the event, Larry Ellison, executive chairman and CTO at Oracle, said Oracle Cloud continues to show strong adoption, supporting 62 million users and 23 billion transactions each day.
Oracle Cloud runs on 30 000 devices and 400 petabytes of storage in 19 data centres around the world, he added.
Also speaking at the conference, Thomas Kurian, executive VP product development at Oracle, explained Oracle big data cloud enables enterprises to analyse and process vast amounts of data using the Hadoop framework integrated with other Oracle cloud services.
Kurian added Oracle mobile cloud enables organisations to rapidly bring enterprise mobile apps to market with a cloud-based mobile back-end.
Oracle integration cloud allows companies to rapidly design, deploy, monitor and manage cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-on-premises integrations using a browser-based interface, he noted.
He also pointed out that Oracle process cloud empowers business users to design, deploy, monitor and optimise business processes to improve efficiency, agility and productivity.
Kurian said Oracle Node.js cloud enables organisations to deploy JavaScript applications along with any required libraries on an Oracle cloud infrastructure with cloud-based tooling for continuous integration and application management.
The Oracle Java SE cloud allows organisations to deploy Java SE 7 or 8 applications along with any required libraries or frameworks, he noted.
"Today's cloud computing technologies have the potential to open up a wealth of business opportunities, but to truly embrace the benefits the cloud offers, there needs to be a robust supporting platform in place," said Kurian.
"With this new set of platform services, Oracle is positioned even better than before to help our customers realise the true benefits of cloud computing."
