Oracle brings Database@Google Cloud services in India

Oracle has made Oracle Database@Google Cloud available to customers in India. With the service now offered locally, organisations can access Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, Oracle Autonomous AI Database, and Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) within the Asia-South 1 (Mumbai) Google Cloud region.

The local availability allows customers to run Oracle database services in their chosen Google Cloud region, helping keep data within India and supporting sovereignty and compliance requirements, particularly for regulated sectors. Google Cloud and Oracle partners in India can also resell Oracle Database@Google Cloud through the Google Cloud Marketplace and integrate it into their own offerings. This enables customers to procure the service through existing partners, streamline contracting, and apply their current Google Cloud commitments.

Oracle Database@Google Cloud is intended to support organisations that want to use enterprise data stored in Oracle databases alongside Google Cloud’s analytics and AI services. This includes integration with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Google’s Gemini models, as well as support for migrating mission-critical Oracle workloads and modernising applications using Google Cloud services.

According to Oracle, the service is aimed at enterprises in India adopting multicloud strategies, providing an option to combine Oracle database capabilities with Google Cloud’s AI and analytics tools. Google Cloud has positioned the launch as a way to support application modernisation and on-premises migration within multicloud environments.
