The cloud computing world is changing dramatically, and a new partnership between Oracle and Google Cloud is leading the way. Their strategic multicloud relationship, centred on Oracle Database@Google Cloud, is set to transform how businesses and partners approach cloud database solutions.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud is more than simply a technological integration. It’s a deliberate synergy of strengths from two cloud leaders, providing organisations with the unique ability to run mission-critical Oracle workloads natively within Google Cloud datacenters, all while benefiting from tight interoperability, no data transfer fees, and optimised cross-cloud performance powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Unlocking Unprecedented Benefits for Enterprise
This alliance provides practical benefits for enterprises seeking agility and performance in a multicloud world:
- Seamless Multicloud Operation: Run apps in Google Cloud while connecting to Oracle databases installed on OCI infrastructure, removing the need for significant code rewrites or latency concerns.
- Elimination of Cross-Cloud Data Egress Charges: The integrated Cross-Cloud Interconnect guarantees that traffic between the two cloud environments is routed directly between them, effectively eliminating data transfer fees and ensuring safe, low-latency communication.
- Access Advanced Oracle Services: Get full support for powerful Oracle services like Autonomous Database, Oracle Exadata Database Cloud Service, and the cutting-edge Oracle Exadata X11M platform, which offer sophisticated tools for advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and high-throughput transactional processing.
- Enhanced AI Integration Capabilities: Integrate your Oracle databases seamlessly with Google Cloud’s extensive suite of AI and Machine Learning capabilities, opening up new avenues for innovation across a variety of business functions, including customer service, employee productivity tools, development platforms, and creative automation.
New Opportunities for Oracle Resellers and Technology Partners
This collaborative alliance has expanded beyond enterprise users with the launch of a large new partner program centred on Oracle Database@Google Cloud. Oracle resellers and technology partners will get tremendous new capabilities via the large Google Cloud Marketplace:
- Direct Reselling with Flexible Offerings: Oracle Database@Google Cloud resellers can build private offers and benefit from improved purchase processes, making transactions easier for their clients.
- Expanded Market Reach: Take use of the Google Cloud Marketplace’s global scale and extensive distribution network to get access to new markets and interact with a larger number of potential customers.
- Building Integrated Solutions: Integrate Oracle’s powerful database services directly into their own products and platforms, resulting in more comprehensive and value-added integrated solutions for their customers.
This partner program is intended to provide new revenue streams, simplify procurement processes, and allow for the development of value services centred on performance optimisation, seamless database migration, and effective multicloud environment administration.
The Unique Benefits of This Integrated Offering
Oracle Database@Google Cloud distinguishes itself by combining familiar capability with cloud-native agility:
- Consistent Oracle Experience: Enjoy a consistent and familiar Oracle Database experience, which has been easily extended to Google Cloud’s powerful infrastructure.
- Automated Lifecycle Management: Built-in automation for important processes like patching, updates, and provisioning helps to reduce operational burdens.
- Flexible and Efficient Scaling: Scale computation and storage resources independently to exactly meet workload demands while optimising cost effectiveness.
- Empowering Low-Code Development: Use integrated technologies built for quick application development and innovation.
Meeting the needs of both the private and public sectors
The advantages of this collaboration extend to both the business and public sectors. Notably, Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud will soon be offered to US federal clients, meeting crucial performance and severe compliance criteria.
Looking to the Future of Multicloud
As Karen Bada, Senior Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, rightly points out, this partnership represents a watershed moment in the advancement of multicloud solutions. Similarly, Andy Gutman, Vice President of Databases at Google Cloud, emphasises the partnership’s primary goal: to speed up cloud migrations while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and performance standards.
