Oracle database services running on Oracle
Exadata Cloud Infrastructure are deployed directly in Microsoft
Azure datacenters
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
Autonomous Database is now generally available on Oracle
Database@Azure in the Microsoft Azure East U.S. region. Oracle will
operate and manage the Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Service,
the second Oracle database service to run on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) in Azure datacenters. Oracle Autonomous
Database helps customers accelerate application innovation and
development velocity, and they can use it to migrate their existing
Oracle Databases to the cloud. Oracle Autonomous Database is
initially available via a private offer in the Microsoft Azure
Marketplace.
Oracle Database is the mission-critical database that the
largest and most critical enterprises in the world trust with their
most important data and applications. Oracle Autonomous Database
provides a fully automated and managed Oracle Database service that
is integrated with the Azure portal and APIs, enabling global
organizations to migrate and run any workloads securely, from the
simplest to the most mission-critical. It runs on-top-of Real
Application Clusters on Exadata Cloud Infrastructure providing the
highest performance, availability, security, and scalability. In
addition to scaling up to handle the most demanding
applications.
"96 percent of Fortune Global 100 companies and thousands of
other leading global organizations rely upon Oracle databases to
run their businesses," said Karan
Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
"Since launching Oracle Database@Azure, we've received incredible
customer demand, which is why we responded with this strategic
investment and are now offering the world's first autonomous
database to customers in Azure. With Oracle Autonomous Database,
organizations can accelerate their data center exit plans and
enable Azure developers to build solutions with ease."
Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI in Microsoft Azure
Accelerates Development Velocity
With Oracle Autonomous Database running on OCI in Azure
datacenters, developers can easily provision an industry-leading
data platform that can accommodate any data or development model
for any use case, while eliminating or reducing the complex and
time-consuming integrations. With this fully-managed and fully
featured option, application developers gain access to database
services at massive scale with the highest performance, security,
and availability characteristics.
Oracle Autonomous Database can accelerate development velocity
with a built-in low code development platform called Oracle APEX, a
rich set of data engineering tools called Data Studio, an ML
notebook interface for data scientists, and easy access to data
lakes with support for the Apache Iceberg open table format and the
Delta Share open data sharing protocol. Developers can easily
utilize SQL, JSON documents, graph, geospatial, text, ML, and
vector similarity search from a unified interface and a single
database to rapidly build new solutions and add new functionality.
In addition, Oracle Autonomous Database can accelerate application
innovation with built-in AI capabilities and a developer's choice
of LLMs. Developers and data scientists can also easily enable
retrieval augmented generation (RAG) across their proprietary
unstructured data in various formats (e.g., PDFs, images,
videos, and audio clips) with Oracle database's built-in vector
processing capabilities, called AI Vector Search. With this
feature, developers can easily join vector data to other structured
business data in a single SQL query, enabling more insightful,
efficient, and agile data analysis and decision-making
processes.
With Oracle Database@Azure running on OCI in Azure datacenters,
customers benefit from:
- The ability to build new cloud-native applications using OCI
and Azure technologies, including the rich set of Azure development
and AI services
- 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
- The highest level of Oracle database performance, scale and
availability, along with feature and pricing parity with OCI
- The simplicity, security, and low-latency to build integrated
solutions with Autonomous Database and Azure services
- Consistency with on-premises deployments of Oracle Database and
Oracle Exadata to reduce the need to rearchitect or refactor
solutions
- Unified customer experience and support from Oracle and
Microsoft
- Simplified purchasing and the ability to leverage Oracle and
Microsoft licenses, commitments and discount programs
- The assurance of a unified service and architecture that are
tested and supported by two of the most trusted names in the
cloud
