Oracle and Google Cloud have announced the general availability of Oracle Database@Google Cloud in four Google Cloud regions across the United States and Europe. Customers will now be able to run Oracle Exadata Database Service, Oracle Autonomous Database, and Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in Google Cloud datacenters across U.S. East (Ashburn), U.S. West (Salt Lake City), U.K. South (London), and Germany Central (Frankfurt), expanding to many more regions in the coming months across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

With Oracle Database@Google Cloud, customers will for the first time get direct access to Oracle Database services running on OCI and deployed in Google Cloud datacenters. They can now take advantage of Oracle’s industry-leading database and Exadata technology to accelerate innovation and develop new applications. In addition, customers can run applications on Oracle Linux, which is now supported by Oracle on Google Cloud.

Oracle Linux images can be imported using Google Cloud’s virtual disk image import process. Within the next 12 months, customers are also expected to be able to streamline Oracle Linux image provisioning in Google Compute Engine with ready-to-use images. Finally, by combining industry-leading generative AI capabilities from offerings like Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, Gemini foundation models, and Oracle Database 23ai, customers can bring enterprise truth to their data and gain faster insights by operating two clouds as one while maintaining feature and pricing parity with OCI.

Oracle Database@Google Cloud enables customers to easily create new cloud applications using Oracle Database or migrate their existing Oracle databases and applications to OCI running in Google Cloud with simplified cloud purchasing and management.

“For the first time, the AI and converged database capabilities of Oracle Database 23ai as well as all the automation and tools of Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service are fully integrated with Google Cloud,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “This new service combines all of the benefits of OCI database services with Google Cloud services for a seamless multicloud experience, which was unthinkable in the cloud space just a few years ago.”

“Customers can now combine Oracle databases and applications running on OCI with Google Cloud’s industry-leading infrastructure, data, and AI capabilities,” said Andi Gutmans, vice president and general manager of databases, Google Cloud. “This enables enterprises to more rapidly migrate to the cloud and accelerate their transformative generative AI journeys with services such as Vertex AI.”
