Oracle and Google will work more closely with their respective cloud services. There will be a fast connection between OCI and GCP and the Oracle database will be able to run on Google.
Oracle and Google announce a major strategic partnership within their cloud platforms. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) are becoming more closely integrated. This should make it easier for customers to combine Google and Oracle solutions within a multi-cloud environment.
A key pillar of the collaboration is the OCI and GCP Cross-Cloud Interconnect. This allows customers to deploy workloads within OCI and GCP without incurring data transfer costs. The direct connection has very low latency. Oracle and Google want to offer customers the option of deploying their workloads on the platform they prefer.
The connection will initially be available in eleven regions worldwide: Australia East (Sydney), Australia South East (Melbourne), Brazil East (São Paulo), Canada South East (Montreal), Germany Central (Frankfurt), India West (Mumbai), Japan East (Tokyo), Singapore, Spain Central (Madrid), UK South (London) and USA East (Ashburn). Additional regions will need to be added in the long term.
Oracle is also announcing Oracle Database@Google Cloud, which will enable customers to quickly migrate Oracle databases to GCP under their existing agreements. This is intended to accelerate the migration of legacy databases to the cloud. Oracle will offer and maintain the database services itself in Google’s data centers.
The functionality will initially be available in four regions in the US and Europe: US East (Ashburn), US West (Salt Lake City), UK South (London) and Germany Central (Frankfurt). Oracle’s entire database offering will be available within GCP, including Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database Service, MySQL Heatwave, Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service, Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Safe.
The close collaboration between Google and Oracle is no coincidence. Oracle is increasingly leveraging the strengths of its own OCI offering, but is aware that it will not immediately steal the entire market from the three hyperscalers. Instead, Oracle wants to be a valuable additional cloud provider in a multi-cloud environment.
Oracle has previously entered into a similar partnership with Microsoft. For example, two years ago Oracle introduced Oracle Database Service for Azure and Oracle Interconnect for Azure. The structure at the time was similar to that of Google today.
