Oracle and AWS: New Collaboration Facilitates Cloud Migration

Oracle expands its service horizon through a strategic integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). With the limited preview of Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle announces the ability to use its Exadata Database Service directly on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in AWS. The rollout will begin in the AWS US East region, providing customers with a seamless way to migrate and operate their enterprise applications in the cloud. The core of this innovation is the provision of a stable connection between Oracle databases and applications in AWS. Through native integration, companies can elevate their Oracle Database workloads, including Exadata and Real Application Cluster (RAC), to the virtual world without performance losses. This ensures simplified networking of enterprise databases with applications on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and enables access to advanced AI and ML services like Amazon Bedrock. Experts like Dave McCarthy from IDC see this collaboration as the breakthrough of long-awaited capability. The ability to replicate Oracle database capabilities in AWS opens an easier path to the cloud for customers and enables focusing on modernization initiatives through simplified IT management. Additionally, they unlock the potentials of the AWS environment concerning security, flexibility, and sustainability. Customers can begin their journey into the Oracle Database@AWS world via the familiar AWS Management Console.
