Deploy Multicloud OCI Oracle Database Services
Oracle has developed multicloud integration technology in partnership with the three biggest cloud infrastructure providers: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud.
Deploy Oracle Database@Azure
Using Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, you can deploy Oracle’s managed database services on OCI while keeping your application tier in Azure, connected with a dedicated low-latency private interconnect with no data egress fees.
For scenarios requiring ultra-low latency, Oracle Database@Azure allows critical Oracle databases to run directly inside Azure data centers under OCI management, eliminating cross-cloud complexity and providing Azure applications the fastest access to Oracle’s database performance and scale.
In designing such multicloud architectures, best practices include:
- Align Azure and OCI resources in paired regions for optimal network performance
- Integrate identity and monitoring across both clouds for unified operations
- Leverage OCI-exclusive database capabilities (such as Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Exadata Database Service, and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC)) to maximize reliability and scalability for enterprise workloads
Deploy Oracle Database@AWS
Oracle extends the same multicloud principles to Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing organizations to run Oracle Database services natively alongside AWS workloads.
Oracle Database@AWS deploys Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI-managed infrastructure within AWS data centers, providing a unified cross-cloud experience with simplified database administration, billing, and support.
This design enables seamless integration, as enterprise data in the Oracle Database can be directly accessed by AWS applications and services (such as Amazon EC2, analytics, and AI/ML offerings) with minimal latency and without complex networking setups. Architects should take advantage of the low-latency connectivity between OCI databases and AWS services to optimize performance, while also using the unified management tools and procurement options (for example, purchasing through AWS Marketplace and leveraging Oracle BYOL licensing) to streamline operations and cost management.
By combining AWS’s flexibility and breadth of services with Oracle’s high-performance, autonomous database capabilities, this multicloud approach allows for efficient, secure, and resilient application design across the two cloud environments.
Deploy Oracle Database@Google Cloud
Oracle’s multicloud strategy with Google Cloud enables enterprise-grade Oracle databases to run in Google’s infrastructure, bringing OCI’s database prowess directly to Google Cloud customers.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud gives organizations access to Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI, deployed inside Google Cloud regions.
This offering allows Google Cloud applications to utilize Oracle’s industry-leading database technology to accelerate innovation and build new functionality, or to migrate existing Oracle-backed systems to a Google Cloud deployment without sacrificing performance or manageability.
When architecting for this scenario, best practices include:
- Place data and application resources in the same regional vicinity to minimize latency
- Integrate Oracle databases with Google Cloud services (such as analytics or AI) through the high-speed cross-cloud connectivity
- Take advantage of simplified multicloud administration and purchasing options (including the ability to use existing Google Cloud commitments and Oracle licenses) for operational efficiency
Furthermore, the Oracle Database@Google Cloud service supports flexible, usage-based provisioning of databases, giving teams the agility to deploy fully managed Oracle databases in minutes as workload demands fluctuate.
