Vodafone implements a cloud platform in its own data center as it shifts to providing software-led technology communications services for consumers and businesses. Sailboat racing league SailGP improves sustainability by using the cloud to slash the amount of TV production equipment needed at race sites. Oracle CloudWorld is coming to Las Vegas in October—that means in-person learning again with peers and experts. Also: African American colleagues at Oracle share their varied career paths through the tech industry. And: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Dedicated Region redefines hybrid cloud.

“Together with Oracle, we’re modernizing thousands of on-premises database workloads and associated applications using a secure, fully featured on-premises cloud region—and lowering our costs.”

— Scott Petty, Chief Digital & Information Officer, Vodafone

Vodafone’s cloud call

Vodafone needed to ensure its core IT supports low latency and security for high-value technology communications. The global telecom turned to Oracle Cloud@Customer, which put capabilities and benefits of the public OCI inside Vodafone’s own data center. Vodafone provides the space, power, and cooling, and Oracle manages everything else.

Networking for sustainability

Until recently, to bring thrilling catamaran racing to fans from stunning locations around the world, SailGP traveled with more than 20 shipping containers for television broadcast gear. Today, most of that’s in the cloud, so the onsite equipment fits in just 1 container. Read about the implementation and watch a video.

Black diversity

Seven African American colleagues share the different paths they took to get to Oracle, their optimistic visions for the future, and how Black participation can drive tech innovation. “I wanted to be in tech because I can bring my whole, authentic self,” says Oracle’s Leigh Causey.
