Oracle Corp. and Google LLC’s cloud unit today announced an expanded partnership with broader regional coverage, additional services aimed at disaster recovery and a low-cost entry offering for customers that want to adopt Oracle’s Exadata high-performance database platform.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud, which is a version of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that runs natively on Google Cloud, will expand to eight new regions and data center capacity will also be doubled in some regions.
Benefits of running Oracle software on the Google Cloud Platform include simplification of workload deployment and easy purchasing and contracting via Google Cloud Marketplace using existing Google Cloud commitments with unified support.
New cross-region disaster recovery support allows customers to set up a replicated standby database in a separate Google Cloud region, while Oracle autonomous database manages itself and also cross-region recovery.
The new single-node virtual machine cluster offering for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure provides a cheaper version of Exadata to customers with lower processing demands.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud customers can purchase Oracle Database services using their existing Google Cloud commitments and leverage existing Oracle license benefits.
The expansion also gives Oracle access to businesses in some regions where regulations or practical concerns require services to be delivered locally.
Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless edition has been enhanced with cross-region disaster recovery and database replication and can be used while accessing Google services such as Vertex AI and BigQuery.
Exadata for less - the move continues Oracle’s efforts to lower entry barriers to customers that want to adopt Exadata in the cloud.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure announced yesterday that it is expanding its reach to help global customers unlock new cloud capabilities.
