    Oracle Virtual Cloud Network
    Customers define VCNs according to specific workload IP address requirements, and can divide a VCN into smaller ranges using private or public subnets or assign multiple IP addresses to a single VCN. Extend existing on-premises networks and interconnects using virtual routers and gateways. Customers use peering gateways to connect different VCNs within a tenancy, or to connect securely to other tenancies. FastConnect allows customers to connect directly to their OCI virtual cloud network via dedicated, private, high-bandwidth connections. Then, based on the amount of data, customers simply chose an appropriate port speed and pay a consistent, low price each month. Other providers charge for the amount of data moved, which can be expensive and unpredictable.Prevent attacks on customer tenancies with isolated network virtualization. A foundational element of OCI’s security-first architecture, the design stops malware with a custom-designed SmartNIC to isolate and virtualize the network.

    Microsoft Hyper-V
    Hyper-V is Microsoft's hardware virtualization product. It lets you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs. When you need computing resources, virtual machines give you more flexibility, help save time and money, and are a more efficient way to use hardware than just running one operating system on physical hardware. Each supported guest operating system has a customized set of services and drivers, called integration services, that make it easier to use the operating system in a Hyper-V virtual machine. Hyper-V includes Virtual Machine Connection, a remote connection tool for use with both Windows and Linux. Unlike Remote Desktop, this tool gives you console access, so you can see what's happening in the guest even when the operating system isn't booted yet.
