Oracle on the Cloud with Lightbits
Up to 4x faster on AWS and Azure and with greater cost‑efficiency than other native cloud storage solutions.
Why Choose Lightbits to Power Your Oracle Database on the Cloud?
Lower and Predictable Costs.
Pay up to 2.5X less than native cloud storage solutions. Deploy fewer instances and save on licensing costs. Right-size your storage on the cloud and only pay for instances used instead of provisioned IOPS or throughput.
High Performance.
High IOPs/low latency volumes can support higher Oracle transactions per second (TPS) and improve application performance, so there’s no need to pay for high-performance EBS volumes with provisioned IOPS. Enjoy instance snapshots and restores with no additional cost.
Flexibility.
Lightbits license portability between on-premises and public cloud(s). Improve performance by scaling the storage cluster.
Implementation Platform
Lightbits for Oracle on Azure
Storage will affect how well your Oracle tasks run, how reliable they are, and how much they cost. Understanding the choices of available storage options and their performance capabilities is the key to successfully migrating Oracle to Azure VMs.
“Lightbits has the most scalable and highest performance storage we’ve tested on Azure.”

Better by the Numbers
In testing using real-world workload scenarios, Lightbits delivers up to 4.6X more IOPS than the best available cloud native storage (EBS io2 Block Express), which reaches its limits at around 250K IOPS.
Lightbits on Azure can deliver almost 1M sustained IPS of 8KB while Ultra Disk is limited to only 80K IOPS of 8KB.
