The key difference is the Oracle Public Cloud is based on industry standards and supports full interoperability with other clouds and your datacenter on premise."

Oracle Fusion CRM Cloud Service and Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud Service are available now. The other Oracle Public Cloud services will be offered under controlled availability in the near future. Oracle Public Cloud pricing will be based on a monthly subscription model, and separate subscriptions will be available for each of the Oracle Public Cloud services.
