Oracle’s cloud strategy is to bring leading infrastructure, technology, business applications, and information to customers and partners anywhere in the world through Oracle Cloud. This strategy includes offerings in three cloud service layers as well as the ability to choose different cloud implementation types. All of Oracle’s cloud service layers can provide value to JD Edwards customers depending on their business and technology goals. You can choose different cloud service layers individually or in combination with others. These are IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. IaaS consists of a comprehensive set of integrated, subscription-based infrastructure services that enable businesses to run any workload in an enterprise-grade cloud. These infrastructure services are comprised of compute services (hardware), storage services, and network services.
PaaS is a comprehensive portfolio of integrated platform services on which you can run and extend your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. It includes, for example, database cloud services as well as middleware services, and enables developers, IT professionals, and business users to develop, test, and deploy applications.
Oracle also offers an expanding set of SaaS applications that work in conjunction with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to complement your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business processes. Users can subscribe to these enterprise applications that are deployed on Oracle Cloud.
Details and benefits of each layer are discussed in the below document:
