Customers can now access Oracle Autonomous
Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service in AWS, simplifying
the migration and deployment of enterprise workloads to the cloud
while improving agility, flexibility, and security
AUSTIN,
Texas and SEATTLE,
Sept. 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle and Amazon Web Services,
Inc. (AWS) today announced the launch of Oracle Database@AWS, a new
offering that allows customers to access Oracle Autonomous Database
on dedicated infrastructure and Oracle Exadata Database Service
within AWS. Oracle Database@AWS will provide customers with a
unified experience between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
and AWS, offering simplified database administration, billing, and
unified customer support. In addition, customers will have the
ability to seamlessly connect enterprise data in their Oracle
Database to applications running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(Amazon EC2), AWS Analytics services, or AWS's advanced artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) services, including
Amazon Bedrock.
Larry Ellison, Oracle Chairman
and CTO, and Matt Garman,
AWS CEO, will discuss the
partnership on-stage at Oracle CloudWorld on Tuesday, September 10 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
With direct access to Oracle Exadata Database Service on AWS,
including Oracle Autonomous Database on dedicated
infrastructure and workloads running on Oracle Real
Application Clusters (RAC), Oracle Database@AWS allows customers to
bring together all of their enterprise data to drive breakthrough
innovation. The new offering provides a low latency network
connection between Oracle databases and applications on AWS. This
allows customers to benefit from Oracle Autonomous Database, a
fully automated and managed Oracle Database service, and the
performance, availability, security, and cost-effectiveness of
Oracle Exadata Database Service, while enjoying the security,
agility, flexibility, and sustainability benefits provided by
AWS.
"We are seeing huge demand from customers that want to use
multiple clouds," said Larry
Ellison, Oracle Chairman and CTO. "To meet this demand and
give customers the choice and flexibility they want, Amazon and
Oracle are seamlessly connecting AWS services with the very latest
Oracle Database technology, including the Oracle Autonomous
Database. With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure deployed inside of AWS
datacenters, we can provide customers with the best possible
database and network performance."
"As far back as 2008, customers could run their Oracle workloads
in the cloud, and since then, many of the world's largest and most
security sensitive organizations have chosen to deploy their Oracle
software on AWS," said Matt Garman,
CEO at AWS. "This new, deeper partnership will provide Oracle
Database services within AWS to allow customers to take advantage
of the flexibility, reliability, and scalability of the world's
most widely adopted cloud alongside enterprise software they rely
on."
Oracle Database@AWS will help customers continue to accelerate
their migration to the cloud and modernize their IT environments.
Customers can also benefit from:
- Zero-ETL integration between Oracle Database services and AWS
Analytics services. Customers will be able to seamlessly and
securely connect and analyze data across Oracle Database services
and applications they already have running on AWS to get faster,
deeper insights without having to build pipelines.
- Flexible options to simplify and accelerate migrating their
Oracle databases to the cloud, including compatibility with proven
migration tools such as Oracle Zero Downtime Migration.
- A simplified procurement experience via AWS Marketplace
that enables customers to purchase Oracle Database services using
their existing AWS commitments and use their existing Oracle
license benefits, including Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and
discount programs such as Oracle Support Rewards (OSR).
- A fully unified support experience from both AWS and
Oracle as well as guidance through reference architectures, landing
zones, and other collateral for customers to successfully build and
run their most trusted enterprise applications in the cloud.
- Seamless integration with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon
S3) for an easy and secure way to perform database backups and
restoration, and to aid with disaster recovery.
Customers are able to easily launch their Oracle Database@AWS
experience using familiar tools such as the AWS Management Console
or via Command Line Interface (CLI) as well as AWS CloudFormation.
They are also able to take advantage of AWS's multi-Availability
Zone (AZ) architecture, which allows customers to architect their
applications across multiple, independent locations allowing them
to build and launch workloads with higher levels of availability.
Oracle Database@AWS will be available in preview later in the year
with broader availability in 2025 as it expands to new Regions to
meet the needs of customers.
Customers Benefit from the Best of OCI and AWS
The new
Oracle Database@AWS capabilities enable organizations to utilize
their existing skills and get started immediately with a fully
integrated experience for deploying, managing, and using Oracle
Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service on AWS.
Both companies will jointly go-to-market with Oracle Database@AWS,
benefitting organizations globally and across multiple industries,
including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail,
telecoms, and utilities.
"We've seen great value in using AWS as our preferred cloud
provider for some of the transactional platforms we use at Best
Buy," said Brian Tilzer, Chief
Digital, Analytics and Technology Officer, Best Buy. "Our work with
AWS unlocks the technological agility and scalability that helps
Best Buy to personalize and humanize the consumer electronics
shopping experience like nobody else can. This announcement makes
it easier for us to move some of our database workloads to AWS and
presents an exciting opportunity to further delight our
customers."
"As a leading financial services provider, Fidelity's mission is
to strengthen the financial well-being of our customers," stated
Joe Frazier, Head of Architecture
and Platform Engineering, Fidelity Investments. "Digital
modernization through innovation, technology, and strong
relationships with trusted service providers is critical to
supporting that mission. Today's announcement demonstrates the
collaborative effort of industry leaders Oracle and AWS to provide
companies like Fidelity with the optionality necessary to deploy
our most critical workloads to cloud, which ultimately delivers
better outcomes for the clients and businesses we serve."
"The combination of AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure database
technologies makes it easy for us to combine the reliability and
security of one of the world's leading clouds
and one of our most critical enterprise software providers to
accelerate our modernization journey with confidence," said
Andrew Zitney, executive vice
president and global chief technology officer, State Street. "By
moving Oracle Exadata Database workloads to AWS, we will be able to
unlock new innovation and value we can deliver to customers."
"The collaboration between industry leaders like AWS and Oracle
is great news for our customers," said Scott Petty, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone.
"The combination of AWS and Oracle complements our own strength and
breadth of capabilities and will allow us to develop and deliver
secure, resilient, and innovative services faster and at scale. In
addition to giving Vodafone's developers access to the latest cloud
and data technologies, this partnership also avoids unnecessary
fragmentation, removes duplication, and reduces cost."
