Multicloud–Oracle and Google Cloud
Cross-Cloud Interconnect from Google Cloud will initially be available for customer onboarding in eleven global regions, enabling customers to deploy common workloads without cross-cloud data transfer fees. Later this year, a new offering, Oracle Database for Google Cloud, will be available with the highest Oracle database and network performance and the same features and pricing as OCI.
The two companies will jointly market the cloud offering. "Customers want the flexibility to use multiple clouds," said Larry Ellison, Chairman and CTO of Oracle. "To meet this growing demand, Google and Oracle are seamlessly connecting Google Cloud Services with the latest Oracle Database technology. By placing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure hardware in Google Cloud Data Centers, customers can benefit from the best possible database and network performance."
"Oracle and Google Cloud have many enterprise customers in common," said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet. "This new partnership will help these customers leverage Oracle's databases and applications along with Google Cloud's innovative platform and AI capabilities."
Oracle will operate database services directly in Google Cloud Data Centers worldwide, starting with regions in North America and Europe. Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database Service and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) will be launched later this year in four regions (US East, US West, UK South and Germany Central). Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Google Cross-Cloud Interconnect offer customers the ability to deploy workloads in both OCI and Google Cloud regions without incurring cross-cloud data transfer fees.
