Oracle Database@AWS is now available in twenty AWS Regions
Oracle Database@AWS has expanded its availability to eight additional AWS regions, bringing the total to twenty regions worldwide. The newly supported regions include EU-Central-2 (Zurich), EU-South-1 (Milan), EU-South-2 (Spain), EU-West-3 (Paris), AP-Northeast-3 (Osaka), AP-Southeast-1 (Singapore), AP-Southeast-4 (Melbourne) and SA-East-1 (Sao Paulo). This service enables customers to access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure managed Oracle Exadata systems directly within AWS data centers. The expansion specifically targets customers in Europe, South America, and Asia Pacific who have data residency requirements and need to migrate on-premises Oracle Exadata and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) applications to AWS. Organizations can now access Oracle's high-performance database infrastructure while maintaining their existing AWS cloud ecosystem, eliminating the need to manage separate cloud environments for their Oracle database workloads.
Why It Matters
This expansion addresses a critical hybrid cloud challenge where enterprises running Oracle databases needed to maintain separate infrastructure environments. By bringing Oracle's Exadata systems into AWS data centers across more regions, organizations can consolidate their cloud operations while meeting strict data sovereignty requirements, particularly important for regulated industries in Europe and other regions with stringent data residency laws.
