Oracle is expecting its “Cloud Infrastructure” revenue to rise to an eye-watering $144 billion in its fiscal year 2030. That’s up more than 14x on last fiscal year’s ~$10 billion haul

If, and it is an if, the company hits that forecast, it will have shades of another AI enabler’s meteoric rise: Nvidia’s data center business, which saw its revenue increase from $6.7 billion in FY 2021 to $115 billion in FY 2025, with analysts anticipating more than $184 billion in data center revenue this fiscal year.

That’s up more than 14x on last fiscal year’s ~$10 billion haul. Source: Chartr
