Oracle, established in the 1970s as a database management company, has significantly expanded its offerings. The cylinder-shaped buildings at the original Redwood City, CA campus symbolized a simplified depiction of a hard disk, reflecting Oracle's foundational focus on databases.
Over time, Oracle has broadened its product portfolio through strategic acquisitions, including Siebel Systems, Sun Microsystems, BEA Systems, Hyperion, PeopleSoft, NetSuite, and recently, Cerner. Transitioning from its on-premises roots, Oracle now offers a comprehensive suite of cloud services encompassing infrastructure (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure—OCI) and applications (Oracle Cloud Applications, Oracle Fusion Cloud, NetSuite).
