Powerful New Oracle Database@Azure Services
To help customers enhance data protection and boost resilience, Oracle and Microsoft continue to add powerful new services to Oracle Database@Azure. Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service is now available on Oracle Database@Azure, and OCI GoldenGate is planned to be available soon.

  • Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service: A fully managed data protection service for organizations running Oracle Exadata Database Service on Oracle Database@Azure, this service enables organizations to quickly recover business critical data within seconds of an outage or ransomware attack. Addressing both operational and disaster recovery scenarios, customers will have the unique flexibility to recover locally in their primary Azure region, to an alternate Azure region, or even to an OCI region. All of these options include the ability to recover to the latest Oracle Database point-in-time for the fastest Recovery Time Objective with the very lowest Recovery Point Objective. This helps customers minimize recovery time and data loss.
  • OCI GoldenGate: A database replication and heterogeneous data integration service is planned to be available soon as a managed service on Oracle Database@Azure, with full feature parity to OCI GoldenGate. OCI GoldenGate will support integrations with Microsoft Fabric and OneLake, further enhancing existing Azure data and messaging store integrations such as Azure Event Hub, Azure Object Store, Azure MySQL, Azure PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks, and Kafka.

Customers can purchase Oracle Database@Azure as a completely new service or using their existing Azure commitments or discount programs. They can also leverage their existing Oracle license benefits such as Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Oracle Support Rewards. Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Exadata Database Service, and Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service are available with custom quotes via private offer. Oracle Autonomous Database is now also available as pay-as-you-go, giving customers the flexibility to deploy a fully managed database in minutes.

With Oracle Database@Azure running on OCI in Azure datacenters, customers benefit from:

  • The ability to build new cloud-native applications using OCI and Azure technologies, including the rich set of Azure development and AI services
  • 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
  • The highest level of Oracle database performance, scale and availability, along with feature and pricing parity with OCI
  • The simplicity, security, and low-latency to build integrated solutions with Autonomous Database and Azure services
  • Consistency with on-premises deployments of Oracle Database and Oracle Exadata to reduce the need to rearchitect or refactor solutions
  • Unified customer experience and support from Oracle and Microsoft
  • Simplified purchasing and the ability to leverage Oracle and Microsoft licenses, commitments, and discount programs
  • Validated Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) Silver and Gold tiers for Oracle Exadata Database Service on Oracle Database@Azure
  • The assurance of a unified service and architecture that are tested and supported by two of the most trusted names in the cloud

“We are seeing significant customer momentum as global organizations accelerate their cloud migrations with Oracle Database@Azure,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Our commitment to expanding the Azure cloud region footprint ensures that even more customers worldwide have access to the multicloud capabilities that accelerate application innovation and development.”

“In today’s complex and rapidly evolving business landscape, a one-size-fits-all cloud solution simply isn’t enough to meet the diverse needs of modern enterprises,” said Brett Tanzer, vice president, product management, Microsoft. “Through our partnership with Oracle, we’re expanding Oracle Database@Azure and helping more customers respond to market shifts and maintain a competitive edge as they grow, and their needs evolve.”
