Oracle Database@Azure, MySQL HeatWave Lakehouse
on AWS, and Oracle Alloy provide organizations with more
flexibility to deploy cloud services anywhere
LAS
VEGAS, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Oracle CloudWorld -- Oracle continues to expand its
distributed cloud offerings to meet organizations' diverse needs
and the growing worldwide demand for Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) services. The latest additions to OCI's
distributed cloud include Oracle Database@Azure and MySQL HeatWave
Lakehouse on AWS. As a result, organizations gain even more
flexibility to deploy cloud services anywhere while addressing a
variety of data privacy, data sovereignty, and low latency
requirements, as well as access to more than 100 services designed
to run any workload. Demonstrating the success of its
distributed cloud strategy, Oracle also announced increased global
partner adoption of Oracle Alloy.
"OCI's distributed cloud is designed to give customers as much
choice as possible in where and how they deploy cloud services
without sacrificing performance, scale, and availability," said
Karan Batta, senior vice president,
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "The modern-day cloud must be more
distributed and more flexible than ever. With Oracle database
services running on OCI and deployed in Microsoft Azure datacenters
customers gain more flexibility on where they run their
workloads."
Oracle Database@Azure Delivers Direct Access to Oracle
Database Services Running on OCI in Microsoft Azure
With the
recent introduction of Oracle Database@Azure, customers will gain
direct access to Oracle database services running on OCI and
deployed in Microsoft Azure datacenters. Oracle Database@Azure
delivers all the performance, scale, and availability advantages of
Oracle Database on OCI. This combination provides customers with
more flexibility regarding where they run their workloads. It also
provides a streamlined environment that simplifies cloud purchasing
and management between Oracle Database and Azure
services.
MySQL HeatWave Lakehouse Now Available on
AWS
With the addition of the Lakehouse capability in
MySQL HeatWave, AWS customers can now run transaction processing,
real-time analytics across data warehouses and data lakes, and
machine learning in one cloud database service. They can replace
five AWS services with one, reducing complexity and obtaining the
best price-performance in the industry for analytics.
With HeatWave Lakehouse, AWS customers can query hundreds of
terabytes of data in Amazon S3 object storage in a variety of file
formats including CSV, Parquet, Avro, and export from other
databases without copying the S3 data to the database. The query
processing is done entirely in the HeatWave engine, enabling
customers to take advantage of HeatWave for both non-MySQL and
MySQL-compatible workloads. They can continue to run applications
on AWS with no changes and without incurring unreasonably high AWS
data egress fees. Customers can also run AutoML on HeatWave
Lakehouse which provides them with the ability to automatically
train machine learning models, run inference and explanations on
files stored in S3, and run various kinds of machine learning
analysis from the interactive MySQL HeatWave console. MySQL
HeatWave Lakehouse on AWS is now in limited availability.
