To meet growing customer demand, eight new regions, including São Paulo, are planned for the next 12 months

Oracle and Google Cloud announce plans to add eight new regions as well as powerful new capabilities for the Oracle Database@Google Cloud, which will help customers harden database instances, optimize costs, and achieve greater flexibility and resiliency. In addition, new capabilities will be added, including general availability of cross-region disaster recovery and database replication for Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless on Oracle Database@Google Cloud and support for database deployments on Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure for Oracle Database@Google Cloud.

Oracle Database@Google Cloud enables customers to easily build new cloud applications using Oracle Database or migrate their existing Oracle databases and applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) running on Google Cloud, with simplified purchasing and management in the cloud. Regional availability planned for the next 12 months includes: US Central 1 (Iowa), North America-Northeast 1 (Montreal), North America-Northeast 2 (Toronto), Asia-Northeast 1 (Tokyo), Asia-Northeast 2 (Osaka), Asia-South 1 (Mumbai), Asia-South 2 (Delhi) and South America-East 1 (São Paulo). To meet growing customer demand, data center capacity will also be doubled in regions including London, Frankfurt and Ashburn over the next 12 months. The new regions and expanded capacity are in addition to the Google Cloud regions currently available in US East (Ashburn), US West (Salt Lake City), UK South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt).

New features in Oracle Database@Google Cloud

  • Cross-region disaster recovery support for Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless: helps customers ensure system continuity, accelerate operational recovery, improve data protection, and meet compliance and regulatory requirements by enabling data to be replicated to a standby database in a separate Google Cloud region. Additionally, customers can securely access their Oracle databases from anywhere via a public endpoint, as well as secure access restricted to a set of approved IP addresses. This enables customers to improve the security posture of their Oracle Database environment and implement a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy in the cloud.
  • Virtual Machine (VM) Clusters for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure: Enables customers to have more flexibility over their costs and infrastructure by enabling them to take advantage of the workload isolation, performance, and simplified management of Oracle Exadata. Previously, all VM clusters in Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure for Oracle Database@Google Cloud required a minimum of two machines and databases, in addition to Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). The new single-node clusters support scenarios such as test and development environments, as well as databases that do not have RAC licenses and do not require the high availability capabilities of RAC.

“The new capabilities of Oracle Database@Google Cloud are designed to support customers’ critical workloads and overall IT strategies in a multicloud context,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Oracle continues to evolve OCI’s multicloud capabilities with a focus on resilience, comprehensive functionality and the most compelling business conditions.”

“We continue to work closely with Oracle to support our customers on their multicloud journeys,” said Andi Gutmans, vice president and general manager, Databases, Google Cloud. “The new capabilities in Oracle Database@Google Cloud will help customers accelerate their cloud migrations with greater confidence for critical workloads and more cost efficiency. By bringing customers’ databases closer to Google’s AI offerings, customers gain significant benefits such as faster, more efficient AI processing, resulting in the ability to rapidly scale AI applications.”

Oracle Database@Google Cloud customers can purchase Oracle database services using their existing Google Cloud contracts and take advantage of existing Oracle licensing benefits such as Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Oracle Support Rewards. Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database, and Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service are available with custom quotes through private offers. Oracle Autonomous Database is also available with usage-based pricing, enabling customers to deploy a fully managed database in minutes.

Additional benefits for customers include:

  • Simplified workload deployment and consolidation with compatibility with on-premises Oracle Database and Oracle Exadata.
  • Simplicity, security, and low latency in a unified operating environment within Google Cloud, enabling deployment of multiple OCI database services.
  • Native integration with Google Cloud console, APIs, monitoring, and operations.
  • Simplified purchasing and contracting through Google Cloud Marketplace, enabling customers to purchase Oracle Database services using their existing Google Cloud contracts.
  • Unified expertise and support from Google Cloud and Oracle.
  • Integrations between OCI, Oracle Database, and Google Cloud services such as Gemini, Vertex AI, BigQuery, and Looker enable organizations to drive innovation in the cloud and accelerate insights.
  • Private, high-speed connectivity to OCI through Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud, supporting use cases such as data and application integration.
