About Oracle Globally Distributed Autonomous Database

Globally Distributed Autonomous Database brings the power of sharded databases to Oracle Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure.

Oracle Globally Distributed Autonomous Database is a cloud-based, fully-managed database service that enables the sharding of data across globally distributed converged databases. It is designed to support large-scale, mission-critical applications. It is a highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable database service that enables organizations to store and process massive amounts of data with high performance and reliability.

The Globally Distributed Autonomous Database is built on top of Oracle's autonomous technology, which means that it is self-driving, self-securing, and self-healing. This allows automation of many of the routine tasks associated with managing a database, such as patching, tuning, and backup and recovery, which can help reduce the risk of human error and improve system uptime.
