At the heart of today’s digital economy lies a critical challenge: businesses must do more with less. More performance. More scale. Less cost. Less energy. That’s where Ampere® processors, running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), are redefining what’s possible.

From global enterprises to innovative disruptors, organizations are choosing Ampere and OCI to run their most critical workloads. The results speak for themselves: faster performance, lower costs, and greater efficiency.


8x8: Scaling Communications in a Crisis

When the pandemic triggered an unprecedented spike in online communications, 8x8 found itself serving as a global backbone for encrypted video conferencing. What started on 20 servers ballooned to 8,000 in just weeks.

Migrating to Ampere-powered Arm64 instances on OCI transformed the company’s trajectory. Performance improved by 30%, infrastructure costs dropped by the same margin, and 8x8 achieved a P95 latency of 1 ms.

As Emil Ivov, VP of Product at 8x8, put it: “There is no reticence to adopting Ampere instances. They are always the first option we look at.”

Oracle Fusion Apps: Enterprise at Scale

With more than 14,000 customers across industries, Oracle Fusion Applications represent one of the most complex and mission-critical SaaS ecosystems in the world. Scaling them required predictable performance, linear scalability and a path to sustainable cloud operations.

By migrating Fusion Apps to Ampere processors, Oracle achieved:

  • Deterministic performance under load
  • Cost-effective infrastructure with substantial TCO savings
  • Improved performance through the Java Enterprise Performance Pack (EPP)
  • A sustainable path as OCI converts most of its fleet to Ampere

As a result, Fusion Apps are now running seamlessly on Ampere, demonstrating that even the most demanding enterprise workloads can achieve efficiency without compromise. Looking ahead, Fusion Apps are expected to migrate to the latest AmpereOne® M-powered A4 instances at OCI to drive even better SaaS performance.

Uber: Serving Millions While Shrinking Its Footprint

Uber powers more than one million trips every hour using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with a significant portion of its stateless workloads running on Ampere compute shapes. This migration has enabled Uber to scale rapidly while simultaneously cutting power consumption by 30%—a dual win for cost efficiency and sustainability.

With its latest move to Ampere-based A4 instances on OCI, Uber expects up to 15% more performance, along with further price-performance benefits and a lower carbon footprint.

In an industry where reliability and real-time responsiveness define the customer experience, Ampere gives Uber the predictable, consistent performance needed to operate at global scale.

Oracle Red Bull Racing: Simulations in the Fast Lane

Formula One™ is a sport of milliseconds, and Oracle Red Bull Racing knows that innovation off the track fuels victory on it. Since moving its race-strategy infrastructure to OCI in 2021, the team has boosted simulation speeds by 25%, enabling faster scenario testing and sharper race-day decision-making.

For the 2025 season, they’re stepping it up again through their partnership with Oracle—leveraging OCI A2 and the latest A4 compute shapes powered by Ampere processors. As they migrate to A4, the team expects a 12% performance boost for its race strategy simulations. That means more scenarios, better strategy, and a competitive edge when it matters most.

Driving Discovery: Research at Scale

Beyond enterprise and consumer applications, Ampere is enabling new frontiers in science. A recent Nature study leveraged OCI Ampere instances to run complex simulations in life sciences, accelerating research that could have real-world impact on medicine and biology.

This fusion of high-performance, efficient compute with cutting-edge science demonstrates the breadth of Oracle’s ecosystem on Ampere: from global business to global discovery.
