Google and Oracle team up for cloud infrastructure improvements

Google and Oracle announced a strategic partnership to improve cloud infrastructure for joint customers across Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

This partnership enables joint customers to migrate, advance, and manage their Oracle-based applications in the cloud. The new integrated solutions include unified engineering, product, and commercial models enabling choice and flexibility provided by the enterprise-level collaborative support model.

New solutions are centered around Oracle Database@Google Cloud. That means Oracle will directly host, operate, and manage Oracle database services within Google Cloud data centers. This will start in North America and Europe, followed by global expansion.

This new approach will let customers host Oracle database services including Exadata Cloud Service and Oracle Autonomous Database via Google’s data centers.
