Oracle has recently made significant strides in the multi-cloud space, with partnerships and services that allow customers to use Oracle Autonomous Database and Exadata Database Service within AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. This move is driven by Oracle’s unparalleled control over data and its strategy to be more open than its counterparts. This was evident in a customer 360 analysis conducted in 2017, where over 60-70% of Oracle’s customers were already connected to other clouds. In his keynote speech at Oracle CloudWorld 2024, CTO Larry Ellison shared his vision for the future of cloud services, emphasizing the importance of open and interconnected clouds. This vision is already being realized, with major companies like Vodafone and Voya Financial using Oracle’s multi-cloud services. To meet the growing demand for AI and cloud services, Oracle has introduced new distributed cloud innovations, including Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, OCI Dedicated Region, and OCI Supercluster. With plans to add 77 more regions globally, Oracle Cloud will be available in more locations than any other hyperscaler. Additionally, Oracle has launched the world’s first zettascale cloud computing clusters, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, which offer up to 131,072 GPUs and deliver 2.4 zettaFLOPS of peak performance. This partnership with NVIDIA not only powers Oracle’s hardware and software applications but also contributes to its sovereign AI mission. In India, Oracle has multiple data centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad and is continuously expanding to meet the demand from various communities, including startups and enterprises.
