Oracle teams up with AWS to make its database services – Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Services – available on the hyperscaler’s infrastructure.
The launch of Oracle Database@AWS will allow Oracle customers on AWS to access the services directly within AWS.
This is Oracle’s third collaboration that collocates the service to a bigger cloud platform. The company previously signed deals with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud making its database services available to a broader userbase.
In the press release, Oracle said that the ability to connect enterprise data to applications on Amazon EC2 and AI services will allow for a “unified experience” for the customers.
Oracle Database@AWS will run on dedicated hardware within AWS. Unified customer support will be provided to all customers using Oracle services on AWS, accompanied by combined billing and database administration services.
Oracle Database@AWS is currently in preview, and will GA in 2025.
“This is a very impactful announcement, and a key takeaway is that it’s giving Oracle more multi-cloud credibility,” said Ron Westfall, analyst with The Futurum Group. “Oracle has been most proactive amongst the major cloud providers addressing customer demand for multi-cloud flexibility. They already have a relationship with Microsoft Azure and as well as Google Cloud, and following up with AWS was a highly anticipated and most welcomed move.”
