Operational Burden

Internal teams spend too much time monitoring and maintaining the platform, leaving less capacity to deliver business value.

Support Coverage Risk

True 24x7 monitoring and support are difficult to maintain in-house, leaving teams reacting to issues instead of preventing them.

Specialist Skills Gap

Specialist Oracle and Exadata cloud expertise is difficult and costly to build and retain around the clock.

OracleDatabase@AWS: Oracle Exadata delivered natively on AWS

OracleDatabase@AWS places Oracle Exadata Database Service infrastructure directly in AWS data centers, accessed through AWS networking and the AWS console. Its shared-responsibility model spans Oracle-managed infrastructure and the AWS environment. Cintra’s managed service covers the infrastructure and database layers, giving customers one specialist Oracle and Exadata partner with complete 24x7 support.

Three support tiers. One specialist Exadata partner.
