Oracle's cloud, AI plans are a master class in co-opetition
Oracle and Google Cloud announced a partnership last year with plans to scale up rapidly.
According to the companies, Oracle Database@Google Cloud will add more regions over the next 12 months including:
- U.S. Central 1 (Iowa)
- North America-Northeast 1 (Montreal)
- North America-Northeast 2 (Toronto)
- Asia-Northeast 1 (Tokyo)
- Asia-Northeast 2 (Osaka)
- Asia-South 1 (Mumbai)
- Asia-South 2 (Delhi)
- South America-East 1 (Sao Paulo).
Oracle said it will double capacity in Google Cloud regions in London, Frankfurt and Ashburn.
Constellation Research analyst Holger Mueller said:
"Oracle keeps doubling down on what works--and that is putting its Exadata machines in other cloud vendors' data centers. It is good news for customers who can keep using their database with the tools and AI they want to use. It is good news for both vendors as they generate cloud revenue. The reprieve on R&D from not having to build a highly scalable transactional RDBMS (at Microsoft and AWS, lesser at Google Cloud) is the R&D angle to this development."
