Oracle on Tuesday revealed it would field more than 18 zettaFLOPS worth of AI infrastructure from Nvidia and AMD by the second half of next year. This includes a cluster of 800,000 Nvidia GPUs capable of delivering up to 16 zettaFLOPS of peak AI performance - that's sparse FP4 in case you're wondering. The cluster, part of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Zettascale10 offering, is a big win for Nvidia, which isn't only furnishing the GPUs and rack systems, but also the networking.
Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and grounded in customers' existing data and security controls, NetSuite Next combines explainable AI with a unified data model and Oracle's Redwood Design System to ensure every decision is transparent, auditable, and aligned with business governance. Customers can move to the new platform "at the press of a button," according to Oracle, without needing to migrate data or disrupt existing configurations.
When Oracle launched its cloud service, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), in 2016, very few in the tech industry believed the company could become a serious player in the public cloud market. Established giants like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud had not only dominated the market for years but also had set a high bar for innovation, scale, and performance that seemed insurmountable to newcomers.
Graal Development Kit for Micronaut (GDK) is Oracle's distribution of a curated set of open source Micronaut® framework modules and their dependencies, built from source with build provenance attestation and a software bill of materials (SBOM) to improve security. The GDK is optimized for ahead-of-time compilation with GraalVM Native Image, and is fully supported on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It also provides VS Code and IntelliJ extensions, a CLI and a web-based Launcher to accelerate application development and deployment.
