Application scenarios
Unified management of multi-cloud and data infrastructure
Due to the development demands of different business units, many enterprises need to deploy their services on different cloud infrastructures. However, due to the differences on the interfaces, models, and service methods between various cloud vendors, it becomes crucial to have unified management of data and data infrastructure across multiple clouds, particularly when data sharing and interaction between multiple businesses are required. With OceanBase Cloud, it is possible to shield the differences in underlying cloud infrastructure, enabling unified management of databases across multiple clouds.
