Title: Oracle Multicloud Milestones: OCI Now Integrated with Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS
Oracle has now established strategic partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), advancing our commitment to meet customers wherever they are.
🌐 OCI + Azure: A Foundation for Multicloud
You may already be familiar with Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure. This allows customers to deploy applications across OCI and Azure with low-latency private connectivity. We’ve physically interconnected 12 global data centers between the two platforms, enabling seamless integration between Oracle databases and Azure-based applications.
🔹 OCI + Google Cloud: Deepening the Integration
Oracle offer the Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud, which mirrors our Azure strategy. Currently, 11 data centers around the world are physically interconnected between OCI and Google Cloud. These locations include:
- Ashburn (US East)
- Frankfurt
- Singapore
- Veneto (Brazil)
- Plus 7 other strategic sites
This interconnect allows customers to provision virtual circuits from Oracle FastConnect to Google Cloud Interconnect, achieving sub-2ms latency. Importantly, there are no egress or ingress data charges, significantly reducing your total cost.
In addition, we’ve launched the Oracle Database at Google Cloud. This places OCI’s Exadata Database Service inside Google Cloud data centers, removing the need for a manual private interconnect. With microsecond latency, this enables native GCP app-to-database performance and seamless integration.
Current regions include:
- Four data centers live
- Eight more regions planned
Support for this service is jointly managed by Oracle and Google Cloud, offering end-to-end issue resolution via either support team.
🚀 OCI + AWS: A New Frontier
Another major announcement from CloudWorld: Oracle Database at AWS. OCI’s Exadata Database Service is now available in AWS data centers, offering native OCI capabilities with seamless AWS integration.
Key highlights:
- No private interconnect setup required
- Native performance and microsecond latency
- Joint support by Oracle and AWS
- Preview rollout in late 2024, with general availability expanding in 2025
This brings the full power of Oracle Exadata to customers operating primarily in AWS environments.
📊 OCI Cloud Migrations: AWS to Oracle Made Easy
We’ve also launched an OCI Cloud Migrations tool, now capable of migrating AWS EC2 instances to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It auto-discovers EC2 resources, builds an OCI-based inventory, and provides:
- Compatibility assessments
- Metrics-based recommendations
- Cost comparisons with competing cloud platforms
The result? Easier migration, better pricing, and the same high-performance Oracle experience.
🔄 Consistent Pricing, Superior Performance
Oracle continues to lead with consistent pricing across regions and industry-best performance metrics. Whether you’re comparing against Azure, GCP, or AWS, OCI often delivers the most cost-effective and high-performing option.
📅 What’s Next?
- More integrated regions with Google Cloud and AWS
- Broader availability of Oracle Database in AWS
- Deeper automation and cost tools for multicloud workloads
Stay tuned for more!
