Oracle Database@Google Cloud is available in Google Cloud datacenters across the U.S. East (Ashburn), U.S. West (Salt Lake City), U.K. South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt), expanding to many more regions in the coming months across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
With Oracle Database@Google Cloud, customers will get direct access to Oracle Database services running on OCI and deployed in Google Cloud datacenters for the first time.
Customers can run applications on Oracle Linux, which is now supported by Oracle on Google Cloud. Oracle Linux images can be imported using Google Cloud’s virtual disk image import process.
“For the first time, the AI and converged database capabilities of Oracle Database 23ai as well as all the automation and tools of Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service, are fully integrated with Google Cloud,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “This new service combines all of the benefits of OCI database services with Google Cloud services for a seamless multicloud experience, which was unthinkable in the cloud space just a few years ago.”
“Customers can now combine Oracle databases and applications running on OCI with Google Cloud’s industry-leading infrastructure, data, and AI capabilities,” said Andi Gutmans, vice president and general manager of databases at Google Cloud. “This enables enterprises to more rapidly migrate to the cloud and accelerate their transformative generative AI journeys with services such as Vertex AI.”
Oracle Database@Google Cloud enables customers to easily create new cloud applications using the Oracle Database or migrate their existing Oracle databases and applications to OCI running in Google Cloud with simplified cloud purchasing and management.
“Oracle and Google Cloud have extended their multi-cloud strategy with this partnership, and customers can now take advantage of the automation in Oracle Autonomous Database and the performance of Exadata on OCI running in Google datacenters,” said Carl Olofson, research vice president of Data Management Software, IDC.
“Customers can combine data from Oracle databases with Google Cloud services like Gemini foundation models and the Vertex AI development platform to develop and run a new generation of cloud-native applications. Oracle and Google Cloud’s mutual customers are the ultimate winners in this multi-cloud strategy, as they benefit from the simplicity, security, and low latency of a unified operating environment,” he added.
Within the next 12 months, customers are also expected to be able to streamline Oracle Linux image provisioning in Google Compute Engine with ready-to-use images.
By combining industry-leading generative AI capabilities from offerings like Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, Gemini foundation models, and Oracle Database 23ai, customers can bring enterprise truth to their data and gain faster insights by operating two clouds as one while maintaining feature and pricing parity with OCI.
