Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure announce partnership

 Oracle and Google Cloud have announced a partnership to integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Google Cloud technologies. This collaboration will initially allow customers to deploy general-purpose workloads with no cross-cloud data transfer charges in 11 global regions through Google Cloud’s Cross-Cloud Interconnect. Later this year, the partnership will introduce Oracle Database@Google Cloud, offering the highest level of Oracle database and network performance with feature and pricing parity with OCI.

Oracle will manage Oracle database services within Google Cloud data centers globally, starting with North America and Europe. Services like Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database Service, and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) will launch later this year in four regions: US East (Ashburn), US West (Salt Lake City), UK South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt). These services will rapidly expand to additional regions worldwide, providing enterprises with robust database solutions directly within Google Cloud.

This partnership will allow customers to deploy workloads across both OCI and Google Cloud regions without incurring cross-cloud data transfer charges. Initially available in 11 regions, including 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 US East (Ashburn), the service will expand to more regions over time. This integration provides a low-latency, high-throughput, private connection between the two leading cloud providers, ensuring seamless interoperability and enhanced performance.
