Microsoft Azure + Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) = ORAZURE, the name I coined after the announcement of Cloud Interoperability Partnership between the two cloud service providers.
It is the FIRST CROSS CLOUD IMPLEMENTATION between AZURE and OCI via network optimized low latency private interconnect – AZURE EXPRESS ROUTE and ORACLE FAST CONNECT
This Direct Interconnect, available now only in Ashburn (North America) and Azure US East will help customer extend their on-premises data centers to both clouds.
Here goes the benefit around this partnership –
Accelerate Cloud Adoption with Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Oracle Database (Standard and Enterprise): Certified by Oracle to run on Azure.
Oracle Enterprise Applications: Certified by Oracle to run on Azure.
Oracle Database will continue to be certified to run on Azure on Various OS which includes Windows and Oracle Linux
End to End Support by Microsoft and Oracle.
Supported deployment of custom applications and packaged Oracle applications (E- Business Suite, People Soft, Oracle Retail, and Hyperion) on Azure with Oracle databases (RAC, Exadata, Autonomous Database) deployed in Oracle Cloud.
IDM: Oracle Application can use Azure Active Directory as Identity and Access Management including Conditional Access.
Azure hyper threaded VMs: 128 vCPUs and 6 TB Memory to support mission critical Oracle Applications.
Azure Disk Storage: Persistent, Highly Secure and Cost Effective SSDs (Solid State Devices).
