Oracle and AWS partner to bring Oracle Database to AWS cloud

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.”

Intel Announces New Tech To Battle in AI Market

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger delivers the keynote at Computex Taiwan on June 4, 2024, where he unveiled technologies and architectures Intel maintains will accelerate the AI ecosystem.

Next-Gen AI PCs

On the PC front, the company unveiled the architecture underlying Lunar Lake, which it sees leading the next generation of AI PCs, with no-compromise application compatibility and stingy power consumption — up to 40% lower than previous chip generations.

“This showcases that Intel’s people have been working incredibly hard to reverse the mistakes of the last decade, and they’ve made impressive progress, but the race is far from over, and Intel’s competitors are equally focused and executing well,” said Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm, in Bend, Ore.

“The competitive result may depend on who stumbles first, and none of these vendors are stumbling at the moment,” he told TechNewsWorld.

“Intel has defined a broad strategy and is executing it very well,” added University of Pennsylvania Engineering Professor Benjamin Lee.
