Oracle expands regional database availability

Oracle announced the general availability of Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure with Oracle Database@Azure. The new option is designed to eliminate the need to provision dedicated database and storage servers with up to 95 percent lower minimum infrastructure costs. Going forward, it will also be available for customers who wish to run Oracle Database workloads on VMs with simpler pay-as-you-go pricing. Currently, Oracle Database@Azure is available in the Azure East US 2 region with a total of 14 supported regions.

“Microsoft and Oracle's collaboration on Oracle Database@Azure continues to see strong global customer demand,” stated Brett Tanzer, vice president for Azure product management at Microsoft. "The addition of Oracle Exadata Exascale and Base Database Managed Services to Oracle Database@Azure gives customers of all sizes greater choice in performance, scale, and flexibility to accelerate innovation with Microsoft's AI, analytics, security, apps and other services."
