Companies launch multi-cloud offering in fifth location and first in APAC.
Oracle and Google Cloud are now offering Oracle Database@Google Cloud to customers in Japan for the first time.
The multi-cloud offering allows customers to run Oracle databases and applications – such as transaction processing for order management, data warehousing and analytics for supply chain management, and real-time transaction processing in financial services and e-commerce – within Google Cloud.
The Oracle Database@Google Cloud offering became generally available in September 2024. The solution sees Oracle hardware deployed within Google data centers.
Customers can now run Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure and Oracle Autonomous Database on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in Google’s Asia-Northeast 1 (Tokyo) cloud region.
Google Cloud and Oracle partners also have the ability to purchase Oracle Database@Google Cloud from the Google Cloud Marketplace via a private offer and resell it to their customers for the first time.
“Oracle and Google Cloud have many joint customers in Japan,” said Yumi Ueno, managing director, partnership, Google Cloud Japan. “We are excited to help them thrive in a multi-cloud world and foster rapid innovation by combining Oracle’s database and applications with Google’s AI platform services in a secure, highly performant way.”
Oracle database services are currently available within Google Cloud regions across Germany Central (Frankfurt), UK South (London), US East (Ashburn), and US West (Salt Lake City).
Additional regional availability planned within the next 12 months includes Asia-Northeast 2 (Osaka), Asia-South 1 (Mumbai), Asia-South 2 (Delhi), Australia-Southeast1 (Sydney), Australia-Southeast2 (Melbourne), Europe-West8 (Milan), Europe-West12 (Turin), North America-Northeast 1 (Montreal), North America-Northeast 2 (Toronto), South America-East 1 (São Paulo), and US Central 1 (Iowa).
Oracle also has multi-cloud offerings with other major hyperscalers. The company launched the offering with Microsoft in 2023, and announced an Oracle Database@AWS in 2024 with plans to be available in 2025. The AWS solution became available in limited preview in December 2024.
Google launched its Tokyo cloud region back in 2016. The company launched a second Japanese cloud region, in Osaka, in 2019. The company launched its first self-built data center in Japan around the Inzai area of Tokyo in 2023.
