Oracle and Google Cloud Partner to Simplify Multicloud Deployments
Oracle and Google Cloud today announced a partnership enabling customers to combine Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Google Cloud technologies, accelerating application migrations and modernisation. Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect will initially be available for customer onboarding in 11 global regions, allowing the deployment of general-purpose workloads without cross-cloud data transfer charges. Later this year, a new offering, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, will be available, featuring Oracle database and network performance on par with OCI. The partnership aims to simplify cloud migration, multicloud deployment, and management. Both companies will jointly market Oracle Database@Google Cloud, targeting enterprises across financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and more. “Customers want the flexibility to use multiple clouds,” said Larry Ellison, Oracle Chairman and CTO. “To meet this demand, Google and Oracle are connecting Google Cloud services with the latest Oracle Database technology.” Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, added, “This partnership will help customers use Oracle database and applications with Google Cloud’s platform and AI capabilities.” Oracle Database@Google Cloud offers direct access to Oracle database services running on OCI and deployed in Google Cloud datacenters. This service is designed to help customers accelerate cloud migration and modernize IT environments while leveraging Google Cloud infrastructure, tools, and AI services, including Vertex AI and Gemini foundation models. Benefits for customers include: Flexible migration options for Oracle databases to Google Cloud, with compatibility with migration tools such as Oracle Zero-Downtime Migration. Simplified purchasing via Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing use of existing Google Cloud commitments and Oracle license benefits. Unified customer experience and support from Google Cloud and Oracle. Deployment of Oracle database services, including Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database Service, MySQL Heatwave, and more, within Google Cloud datacenters. Integration of Oracle data with Google’s AI services to enhance applications in customer service, employee services, creative studios, and more. Oracle will manage Oracle database services within Google Cloud datacenters globally, starting with regions in North America and Europe. Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database Service, and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) will launch later this year in US East (Ashburn), US West (Salt Lake City), UK South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt), with further expansion planned. The partnership also offers customers the ability to deploy workloads across both OCI and Google Cloud regions without cross-cloud data transfer charges. Initial onboarding will be available in 11 regions, including Australia East (Sydney), Australia South East (Melbourne), Brazil East (São Paulo), Canada South East (Montreal), Germany Central (Frankfurt), India West (Mumbai), Japan East (Tokyo), Singapore, Spain Central (Madrid), UK South (London), and US East (Ashburn). This collaboration allows customers to innovate using the best combination of Oracle and Google Cloud services, providing low-latency, high-throughput private connections between the two cloud providers. Customers can run multiple Oracle applications on OCI with distributed data stores on both OCI and Google Cloud and build new cloud-native applications using Google Cloud’s AI technologies. The new multicloud capabilities offer a fully integrated experience for deploying, managing, and using Oracle database instances within Google Cloud, enabling data movement and deployment of new cloud-native applications across both clouds. This integration allows organisations to leverage existing skills while utilising the best of Oracle and Google Cloud capabilities.
