Azure Oracle Database collaboration has become an emerging service provided by a cloud service provider

Azure's Oracle Database Service has emerged as the biggest service provided by amazon.

An Oracle-managed service called Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure enables Azure clients to quickly provision, access, and use enterprise-grade Oracle Database services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) while still enjoying a familiar Azure-like user interface. With the high performance, high availability, and automated management of Oracle Database services, such as Autonomous Database, running on OCI, users may easily construct Azure apps.

Microsoft and Oracle have worked together for more than 20 years to make sure our software integrates seamlessly both on-site and in the cloud.

Utilize Oracle Linux, Windows Server, and other supported operating systems in Azure to run your Oracle Database and enterprise applications, such as JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, Oracle Retail, and Oracle WebLogic Server.

Use a multicloud strategy with the Oracle Database Service for Azure to quickly provision and access database services that run on the Oracle Cloud for solutions that need Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service.

Cloud computing using OCI and Azure

The service deploys Oracle Database on OCI, creates low-latency communication between Microsoft Azure and OCI, and offers metrics on Azure. Customers can combine the most potent database capabilities offered by OCI with the whole portfolio of AI and application services offered by Azure. Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure ports and data ingress/egress across the Interconnect is free of charge. You'll receive regular billing for using Oracle Database services like Autonomous

Run your tasks wherever you want

Select the finest cloud service provider for your databases and apps. Run enterprise workloads that are mission-critical across OCI and Microsoft Azure.

Create using Oracle on Azure

Utilize fully managed Oracle databases and the high performance, high availability, and automated management of Oracle Database services on OCI to create new applications.

Utilize highly available Oracle autonomous databases that are provisioned, tuned, secured, and scaled quickly and simply with Azure apps.

Exclusive database features for OCI

Utilize Real Application Clusters and other unique OCI features with Oracle's Autonomous Database, Exadata Database Service, MySQL HeatWave, and Base Database Service.

Controlled deployment

Setting up automation facilitates federating identities across OCI and Azure, connecting virtual networks, and joining cloud accounts.

Database service administration

Oracle Database management from Azure is made simple with a recognizable site that resembles Azure and has integrated analytics and logs.

Low-latency, direct connectivity

Without the need for middlemen, OCI-Azure Interconnect offers a latency of fewer than two milliseconds.

fault-tolerant, private connectivity

The service uses 1 GB, 2 GB, 5 GB, or 10 GB of bandwidth using private, redundant network links.

No entry or exit costs for data

There are no fees associated with the incoming or outgoing bandwidth used. The cost of network access is solely determined by port speeds.

complimentary service

Oracle Database Service for Azure is provided without charge. Customers use OCI rates to consume Oracle Database.

collaborative assistance

Oracle and Microsoft work together to jointly provide troubleshooting and problem-solving.

The operation of Oracle Database Service for Azure

The Oracle Database Service for Azure interface offers a faster setup process for federated identity management, virtual networks, and low latency OCI-Azure communication. The Interconnect allows for database queries and their results. To make monitoring and administration easier, Azure has integrated database logs and metrics from OCI.

Use cases for Oracle Database Service for Azure 

On-premises workload migration to OCI and Azure

Application tier migration to Microsoft Azure while leaving Oracle databases on-premises is not an option when applications are sensitive to database access latency or require high throughput from the databases. Oracle Database Service for Azure offers on-premises workloads moved to multicloud setups based on Azure and OCI low-latency database access and high database-to-application throughput.

Azure applications can benefit from high availability capabilities and performance enhancements that are exclusive to OCI in such a multicloud architecture. The service's private tunnel provides a secure, low-latency connection between the two cloud environments thanks to Oracle Interconnect for Azure.

Multicloud setup with databases on OCI and applications on Azure

Customers of Azure have the option to switch from independently managed Oracle Database solutions to fully managed services that are sized appropriately for their workloads, satisfy availability standards, and come with built-in backups. 

OCI is the only public cloud that offers Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, even though Oracle Database Standard Edition and Oracle Database Enterprise Edition can run on Azure (MAA). Oracle Real Application Clusters and Oracle Exadata Database Service are two technologies that OCI makes possible through MAA. It is simple to develop and deploy applications using Oracle Autonomous Database, a service that is exclusive to OCI.
