Demand for high-performance computing has surged faster than supply can comfortably accommodate, and $Oracle(ORCL)$ has positioned itself as a willing and increasingly capable provider of that missing capacity. This is not about being the best-known cloud. It is about being available, performant, and—crucially—deepl
