The primary advantage of Oracle Cloud lies in meeting end customers' preferences for cloud environments in proximity. This could stem from concerns related to data residency or simply the desire to collaborate with familiar service providers with whom they have a history of doing business.  

Oracle Alloy goes beyond being merely a collection of cloud services operating from an Alloy Operator location or a dedicated cloud region installation. It functions as a complete OCI platform, empowering service providers, integrators, ISVs, and other organizations to work independently in teams to manage, maintain, and enhance it, with support from Oracle's upgrades. With Alloy, channel organizations can provide a comprehensive set of cloud services, customize the experience, and package additional value-added features for their customers. 

With Alloy, our partners can potentially become a cloud provider for a specific region or industry, and in doing so, enable them to meet the business objectives of their end customers. At our flagship event, Oracle CloudWorld 2023 in Las Vegas, Oracle introduced the key capabilities of Oracle Alloy, and one of its standout features is the ability to tailor and rebrand it according to the Alloy operator's branding standards.  

One of the main differentiators for Oracle Alloy is the flexibility to tailor and rebrand to Alloy operator’s brand standards. This not only reinforces the Alloy operating team to further establish their brand but also helps provide a superior and simplified customer experience. Just like any OCI public cloud region, an Alloy installation is designed to efficiently cater to the needs of thousands of enterprises and millions of simultaneous end users.  

Similar to OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Alloy functions as a full cloud region that Oracle supports and provides new features as they become available in other Oracle public cloud regions for continued innovation. 

In India, Oracle has 600 partners, and more than half of our business on the Oracle Cloud infrastructure side comes through partners. On the SaaS side, it's nearly 80%. This insight is significant and indicates that our partner ecosystem in India is extensive and has the potential for further growth. Oracle Alloy will enable seamless expansion of our partners' businesses, fostering innovation. This development will further enhance the competitiveness of Indian enterprises on the global stage. Oracle Alloy offers more than just cloud services running in an Alloy Operator location or a dedicated cloud region install.
