On April 9, Oracle and Google Cloud announced plans for an industry-first partner program and the planned availability of Oracle Base Database Service on Oracle Database@Google Cloud, as well as expanded capabilities and additional regions. The new partner program is designed to enable Oracle and Google Cloud partners to offer Oracle Database@Google Cloud to their customers. In addition, Oracle Database@Google Cloud now supports Oracle Exadata X11M, and for Oracle U.S. Government Cloud customers, Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud is available. Finally, 11 new regions are planned within the next 12 months to help meet growing customer demand for Oracle Database@Google Cloud.
“We continue to expand our partnership with Google Cloud to help meet the growing demand from organizations across the world,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “The upcoming reseller program for Oracle Database@Google Cloud is not only a first for us, but also for the multicloud market overall. Oracle Base Database Service on Oracle Database@Google Cloud will be another milestone in our partnership. It provides automated database lifecycle management, low-code application development, and independently scalable compute and storage resources with pay-as-you-go pricing.”
“Oracle and Google Cloud’s collaboration on Oracle Database@Google Cloud has always placed our joint customers’ needs at the forefront,” said Andi Gutmans, vice president and general manager of databases, Google Cloud. “The availability of Oracle Base Database Service will further help customers cost-effectively accelerate their cloud migrations with the technical strengths business-critical workloads require. In addition, offering Oracle Database@Google Cloud through our marketplace reflects our commitment to partners and ensures we continue to provide our customers with the utmost flexibility.”
For the first time, Google Cloud and Oracle partners will have the ability to purchase Oracle Database@Google Cloud from the Google Cloud Marketplace via a private offer and resell it to their customers. In addition, technology partners can soon be able to include Oracle Database@Google Cloud in their solutions and services offerings. Available within the next 12 months, the new partner program is planned to be open to partners that are members of both the Google Cloud Partner Advantage program and the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). Transactions will occur through Google Cloud Marketplace and only Google Cloud credits can apply.
