AUSTIN, Texas - Oracle (ORCL), a prominent player in the software industry with a market capitalization of $453 billion, and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud have announced a significant expansion of their regional presence, planning to introduce eight new regions over the next 12 months to meet increasing customer demand. According to InvestingPro data, Oracle has demonstrated solid growth with revenues reaching $54.9 billion in the last twelve months. This expansion will include new locations in the United States, Canada, Japan, India, and Brazil, with additional capacity being added in existing regions such as London, Frankfurt, and Ashburn.
The companies are also enhancing Oracle Database@Google Cloud with new capabilities aimed at bolstering database resilience and flexibility while optimizing customer investments. Among the updates is the general availability of cross-region disaster recovery for Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless, allowing data replication across different Google Cloud regions. This feature is designed to improve system continuity and data protection, addressing compliance requirements.
Furthermore, a new single-node Oracle Exadata Database Service Dedicated cluster option is being introduced, offering customers greater cost flexibility and reduced infrastructure footprint. This service is particularly suitable for test and development environments, as well as databases that do not require the high availability features of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). With a revenue growth of 6.4% and maintaining a strong financial health score according to InvestingPro, Oracle continues to demonstrate its market leadership in enterprise solutions.
Karan Batta, senior vice president at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, emphasized the commitment to developing multi-cloud capabilities focused on resiliency and comprehensive features. Andi Gutmans, vice president and general manager of databases at Google Cloud, highlighted the benefits to customers, such as enhanced security and the ability to scale AI applications more efficiently.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud customers can leverage their existing Google Cloud commitments to purchase Oracle Database services and can also utilize their Oracle license benefits, such as Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Oracle Support Rewards. The services are available for custom quotes or usage-based pricing, providing flexibility for deployment.
The collaboration between Oracle and Google Cloud aims to simplify workload deployment and consolidate operations by offering compatibility with on-premises Oracle Database and Oracle Exadata deployments, as well as native integration with Google Cloud’s console, APIs, and operations. Additionally, the unified customer experience and support from both companies are expected to streamline the purchasing process through the Google Cloud Marketplace.
