Oracle, Google Cloud Collaborate To Offer Multicloud Experience To Enterprises
The joint offering will address the demands of multiple industries, including financial services, healthcare, retail and manufacturing.
Oracle and Google Cloud have announced a partnership that will give organisations the choice to combine Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Google Cloud technologies to help accelerate application migrations, multicloud deployment and modernisation.
Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect will be available for customer onboarding in 11 global regions, including India West (Mumbai), for general purpose workloads with no cross-cloud data transfer charges. A new offering, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, will be available with OCI database services and high-speed network performance later this year, Oracle said in a press release.
“Customers want the flexibility to use multiple clouds. By putting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure hardware in Google Cloud data centres, customers can benefit from the best possible database and network performance,” said Larry Ellison, chairman and CTO at Oracle.
The joint offering will address the demands of multiple industries, including financial services, healthcare, retail and manufacturing.
“Oracle and Google Cloud have many joint enterprise customers,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet. “This new partnership will help these customers use Oracle database and applications in concert with Google Cloud’s innovative platform and AI capabilities.”
Oracle Database@Google Cloud aims to help enterprises accelerate their migration to the cloud, modernise their IT environments and take advantage of Google Cloud infrastructure, tooling and artificial intelligence services—including data and analytics, Vertex AI, and Gemini foundation models.
The unified operating environment (data centre) within Google Cloud will enable enterprises to deploy the portfolio of Oracle database services. The solution will also help simplify purchasing and contracting via Google Cloud Marketplace, that enables customers to purchase Oracle database services using their existing Google Cloud commitments and leverage their existing Oracle licence.
The low-latency, high-throughput, private connection between the two cloud providers will allow organisations to run multiple Oracle applications, including E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise and Retail Merchandising, on OCI with distributed data stores on OCI and Google Cloud.
Businesses can further build new cloud-native applications using Google Cloud’s enterprise-grade AI technologies combined with OCI technologies, and move data and applications across both clouds.
