Oracle Corporation (ORCL): Who It Depends On
Oracle has reinvented itself around Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), a cloud business now unusually reliant on a small number of enormous AI compute contracts. Building that capacity depends on buying huge volumes of chips from Nvidia and AMD, while a single customer relationship - a multi-year deal with OpenAI reported to be worth up to roughly $300 billion over its term - has become one of the most consequential single contracts in the cloud industry.
Supply-chain dependency
Companies ORCL relies on to design, manufacture, package, and assemble its hardware.
Oracle buys huge volumes of Nvidia GPUs to build out OCI's AI compute capacity for its cloud customers.
Oracle began deploying tens of thousands of AMD AI chips in its cloud in 2025 to diversify away from sole reliance on Nvidia.
The foundry behind the Nvidia and AMD chips Oracle depends on to build OCI's AI infrastructure.
Supplies power and cooling infrastructure for Oracle's rapidly expanding data centers.
Integrates GPUs into the AI server systems Oracle deploys across OCI.
Supplies server hardware used across parts of Oracle's cloud infrastructure.
Supplies server CPUs used across Oracle's cloud and database infrastructure.
Customer concentration
Oracle's OCI backlog is unusually concentrated around a small number of very large, multi-year AI compute contracts rather than a broad base of similarly sized customers - the percentages below reflect that concentration in Oracle's disclosed cloud bookings and remaining performance obligations, not a single quarter's revenue split.
