Oracle has announced its collaboration with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to accelerate the migrations and modernizations of their clients’ applications to the cloud. This new step will allow users to directly access Oracle Database services running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), deployed in the data centers of these three major platforms.
The expansion of these services is due to the growing demand for Oracle Database worldwide. Thanks to this collaboration, customers will be able to enjoy the benefits of a multicloud environment, combining services from AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and OCI to create innovative and robust solutions.
“We are working alongside AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to help our customers simplify cloud migration, multicloud deployment, and data management,” commented Karan Batta, senior vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “A few years ago, this was unthinkable in the cloud space. Today, we provide customers the flexibility to use multiple clouds, driving innovative advances in the cloud.”
Oracle Database@AWS: A new service for a unified experience
During Oracle CloudWorld, Oracle introduced the new service Oracle Database@AWS, which will allow customers to access the Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated infrastructure and the Oracle Exadata Database Service within AWS. This new solution provides a unified experience between OCI and AWS, facilitating database management, billing, and customer support.
The Oracle Database@AWS service offers low-latency networking between Oracle databases and AWS applications, enabling customers to integrate their enterprise data with AWS’s advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning services, such as Amazon Bedrock. Additionally, customers can take advantage of simplified purchasing through the AWS Marketplace, utilizing their existing commitments with AWS and Oracle licensing benefits.
Oracle Database@Azure: Expansion in new data centers
Oracle Database@Azure is already available in six Microsoft Azure data centers, including Australia East, Canada Central, East US, France Central, Germany West Central, and UK South. To meet global demand, Oracle plans to expand this service to 15 new regions, including Brazil, India, the United States, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates.
Oracle customers can acquire these services through existing Azure commitments, using models like Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and discount programs like Oracle Support Rewards. This offering also allows for the use of the Oracle Autonomous Database as a pay-as-you-go service, providing flexibility to deploy managed databases within minutes.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud: General availability
Oracle has also announced the general availability of Oracle Database@Google Cloud in four key regions of Google Cloud in the United States and Europe, including U.S. East (Ashburn), U.S. West (Salt Lake City), U.K. South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt). This service will allow customers to run Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database, and Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service in Google Cloud data centers.
Similar to AWS and Azure, customers can use their existing commitments with Google Cloud to acquire these services, simplifying the purchase and resource management in the cloud.
Multicloud momentum and the future of Oracle
Oracle’s expansion of multicloud services marks a significant advancement in its strategy to offer flexible and adaptable solutions to its customers’ needs. With these initiatives, Oracle strengthens its leadership in cloud infrastructure, providing companies with the ability to leverage the best capabilities of different cloud providers collectively.
Oracle continues to lead the development of cloud technologies, and these collaborations with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are further evidence of its commitment to helping businesses innovate and grow in an increasingly digitalized environment.
