Why Oracle Database @Google Cloud is a Significant Announcement
The general availability announcement of Oracle Database@Google Cloud marks a significant milestone in enterprise cloud computing. It’s a testament to the evolving multi-cloud strategies of both Oracle and Google Cloud, offering customers an unparalleled level of flexibility, performance, and innovation.
This offering is not just about running Oracle databases on Google Cloud; it’s about unlocking the full potential of Oracle’s industry-leading database technology, Exadata performance, and Autonomous Database automation within the rich ecosystem of Google Cloud services.
For organizations already invested in Oracle databases, this opens up exciting possibilities. You can now seamlessly integrate your existing Oracle workloads with Google Cloud’s advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning capabilities. This synergy empowers you to extract deeper insights from your data, build intelligent applications, and accelerate your digital transformation journey.
” The announcement of running Oracle databases on Google Cloud is exciting. Over the years we have helped our customers migrate from on-prem to Google Cloud, with accelerators like Route66 that accelerate database migrations. However Oracle databases have always served as a sticking point from migrating the entire stack. Whether that be for the inability to run applications on other database platforms, the latency of moving the application but not the database, or existing licensing structures. With this announcement we can now offer our customers the ability to fully migrate to Google Cloud. This offers them a great deal of benefits including single pane of glass for managing workloads, reduced latency for applications vs on-prem deployment, ability to draw down their google commit, and native integrations with Google Cloud APIs. We are looking forward to helping our customers push through on their journey to cloud. ”
