Oracle and Google Cloud Expand Availability, Enhance Oracle Database@Google Cloud

Oracle Database@Google Cloud enables customers to easily create new cloud applications using the industry-leading Oracle Database or migrate their existing Oracle databases and applications to OCI running in Google Cloud with simplified cloud purchasing and management. Regional availability planned for the next 12 months includes U.S. Central 1 (Iowa), North America-Northeast 1 (Montreal), North America-Northeast 2 (Toronto), Asia-Northeast 1 (Tokyo), Asia-Northeast 2 (Osaka), Asia-South 1 (Mumbai), Asia-South 2 (Delhi), and South America-East 1 (Sao Paulo). To meet growing customer demand, datacenter capacity will also be doubled in regions including London, Frankfurt, and Ashburn in the next 12 months. The new regions and expanded capacity are in addition to Google Cloud regions across U.S. East (Ashburn), U.S. West (Salt Lake City), U.K. South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt) that are available today.

New Oracle Database@Google Cloud Capabilities

• Cross-region disaster recovery support for Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless: Helps customers ensure system continuity, accelerate operational recovery, improve data protection, and address compliance and regulatory requirements by enabling data to be replicated on a standby database in a separate Google Cloud region. In addition, customers can securely access their Oracle databases from anywhere through a public endpoint, as well as secure access that is restricted to a set of approved IP addresses. This enables customers to improve the security posture of their Oracle Database landscape and implement a comprehensive cloud disaster recovery strategy.
• Single-node VM clusters for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure: Helps customers gain more flexibility over their costs and infrastructure footprint by enabling them to benefit from Oracle Exadata’s workload isolation, performance, and simplified management. Previously, all VM clusters on Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure for Oracle Database@Google Cloud had a minimum of two VMs and databases, as well as Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). The new single-node clusters support scenarios such as test and development environments, as well as databases that do not have RAC licenses and do not require RAC’s high availability features.

“The new capabilities for Oracle Database@Google Cloud are designed to support customers’ mission-critical database workloads and overall IT strategies, in a multicloud context,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Oracle continues to develop OCI’s multicloud capabilities with a focus on resiliency, comprehensive capabilities, and the most attractive commercial terms.”

“We continue to work closely with Oracle to support our joint customers on their multicloud journeys,” said Andi Gutmans, vice president and general manager of databases, Google Cloud. “Oracle Database@Google Cloud’s new features will help customers speed up their cloud migrations with increased confidence around mission-critical workloads and cost-effectiveness. By bringing customers’ databases closer to Google’s AI offerings, customers gain significant benefits such as faster and more efficient AI processing resulting in the ability to rapidly scale AI applications.”

Oracle Database@Google Cloud customers can purchase Oracle Database services using their existing Google Cloud commitments and leverage their existing Oracle license benefits, such as Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Oracle Support Rewards. Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database, and Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service are available with custom quotes via private offer. Oracle Autonomous Database is also available with usage-based pricing, giving customers the flexibility to deploy a fully managed database in minutes.

Additional customer benefits include:

• • Simplified workload deployment and consolidation via compatibility with on-premises Oracle Database and Oracle Exadata deployments.
  • The simplicity, security, and low latency of a unified operating environment within Google Cloud to deploy many OCI database services, including Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure, Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service, and OCI GoldenGate.
  • Native integration with Google Cloud’s console, APIs, monitoring, and operations.
  • Simplified purchasing and contracting via Google Cloud Marketplace that enables customers to purchase Oracle Database services using their existing Google Cloud commitments.
  • Unified customer experience and support from Google Cloud and Oracle.
  • Integrations between OCI, Oracle Database, and Google Cloud services like Gemini foundation models, Vertex AI, BigQuery, and Looker enabling organizations to drive breakthroughs in the cloud and accelerate insights for their organizations.
  • Available private, high-speed connectivity to OCI through Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud for supporting use cases such as data and application integration.
