AI might be the most important new computer technology ever.
It's storming every industry and literally billions of dollars are being invested.
So buckle up.
The problem is that AI needs a lot of speed and processing power.
So how do you compete without costs spiraling out of control?
It's time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or oci.
OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database, application development and AI needs.
OCI has four to eight times the bandwidth of other clouds, offers one consistent price instead of variable regional pricing, and of course, nobody does data better than Oracle.
So now you can train your AI models at twice the speed and less than half the cost of other clouds.
If you want to do more and spend less, like Uber 8x8 and Databricks Mosaic, take a free test drive of oci@oracle.com that's oracle.com squared oracle.com squared hi.
