Oracle has recently expanded its Database@Azure offering, introducing Exadata services into the marketplace. This strategic move aims to enhance scalability, cost-effectiveness, and performance for customers utilizing multicloud environments.

The Exadata Database Service is now available on Exascale Infrastructure, which is designed to optimize performance and reduce costs. Specifically, this infrastructure allows enterprises to operate without the need for separate database and storage servers, potentially cutting baseline infrastructure expenses by as much as 95%. Currently, the service is live in the Microsoft Azure East US 2 region, increasing the total number of supported regions for Oracle Database@Azure to 14, with plans to expand to an additional 18 regions in the coming year.

This service enables organizations to utilize Oracle databases within Azure, leveraging the same high-performance capabilities and technology present in on-premises Oracle systems. It includes support for the newly launched Exadata X11M platform, bringing significant enhancements in online transaction processing (OLTP), analytics, and artificial intelligence workloads.

According to Karan Batta, Senior Vice President at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, the Exascale infrastructure addresses the demands of various organizations. His statement highlighted the infrastructure’s capabilities in delivering potent services in a hyper-elastic cloud format suitable for all critical workloads.

Complementing this, Brett Tanzer, Vice President of Azure Product Management at Microsoft, emphasized the collaboration’s response to strong global customer demand. He noted that the integration of Oracle Exadata Exascale into Azure provides customers with more options in terms of performance, scalability, and flexibility.

The new infrastructure includes features designed to optimize workloads, such as elastic compute and storage options that are billed based on usage. Additionally, existing Oracle licensing benefits can be applied, streamlining the migration of Oracle databases to Azure through familiar tools.

Oracle plans to introduce the Base Database Service on Oracle Database@Azure soon. This will support various Oracle Database editions on Azure’s virtual machines, offering flexible pricing and enhanced administrative capabilities.

As the demand for multicloud and hybrid cloud solutions grows, Oracle’s initiative to expand its Database@Azure service reflects this trend. The company aims to increase its global reach to 32 regions over the next year, targeting markets that depend on high-performance applications, including finance and manufacturing.

The potential of Oracle Database@Azure was also underscored by Pedro Sardo from Vodafone, who noted it helps meet complex regional and service-level needs while enhancing business continuity and facilitating cloud migration.

Oracle’s broader strategy also includes a range of options across public, dedicated, hybrid, and multicloud environments, ensuring customers benefit from high-performance connectivity and combined support from leading cloud service providers.
