For the third consecutive year, Oracle has been named Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ 2025 for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure, and is also recognized as the provider with the highest vision integrity among all evaluated. This acknowledgment reinforces the company’s strategy around distributed cloud and its role in the multicloud and sovereign AI ecosystem.
Oracle’s Commitment to Distributed Cloud
According to Clay Magouyrk, president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the market is responding positively to Oracle’s value proposition: delivering the same comprehensive suite of 200+ cloud and AI services across any location, whether in the public cloud, customer data centers, isolated environments, or at the edge. The executive highlighted that OCI’s distributed architecture enables Oracle to bring sovereign services to regions where no other hyperscaler has yet arrived.
Flexible Deployment Options
Oracle distinguishes itself with a range of alternatives designed to meet requirements for data residency, sovereignty, and performance in critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and public administration. These options include:
- OCI Dedicated Region: Full Oracle Cloud deployments within the customer’s data center, now capable of starting from just three racks.
- Oracle Alloy: A solution for service providers that allows reselling cloud infrastructure under their own brand.
- Compute Cloud@Customer: Running compute, storage, and GPU resources directly on customer premises with low latency.
- Roving Edge Infrastructure: Portable infrastructure and devices for running AI and computer vision workloads in remote or disconnected locations.
- Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud and Government Cloud in the US, UK, and Australia, featuring policies and certifications tailored for regulated environments.
All these options provide APIs, SLAs, and consistent pricing across all modalities, simplifying planning and enabling workload portability.
Multicloud as a Catalyst for Adoption
Oracle has strengthened partnerships with the three major hyperscalers, enabling native Oracle Database deployment on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This allows customers to migrate their critical workloads without application re-architecture, combining Oracle’s enterprise database with the AI and analytics capabilities of each provider.
This multicloud approach aims to reduce costs, optimize performance, and meet the increasing demands for data sovereignty across multiple jurisdictions.
Preparing for Next-Generation AI
Gartner’s recognition arrives as Oracle positions OCI as a platform for the most demanding AI workloads, including training foundational models, inference, agentic AI, recommendation systems, and scientific computing.
To support this, the company offers customers bare-metal GPU clusters and VMs, featuring ultra-high bandwidth networks and high-performance storage, integrated into their distributed cloud across any region. This ensures organizations can bring AI models closer to their data without compromising latency, security, or scalability.
Conclusion
Oracle’s leadership in the Gartner 2025 Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure confirms the strategic value of its vision for a distributed cloud, which combines deployment flexibility, sovereignty, multicloud capabilities, and AI power. In an increasingly regulated and competitive market, this approach solidifies OCI as a leading platform for enterprises and governments seeking to balance innovation, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency.
