In a development that highlights the evolving dynamics of enterprise cloud strategy, Oracle and Google Cloud are strengthening their multicloud relationship with a major expansion of their shared database offering. The Oracle Database@Google Cloud solution, initially introduced in late 2024, will now extend to 11 more regions worldwide, making enterprise-class Oracle databases more accessible to customers globally.
The rollout is in response to increased demand for hybrid cloud flexibility and low-latency access to mission-critical data systems. More and more enterprises now want to deploy Oracle workloads without sacrificing the scale and AI-ready infrastructure of hyperscale platforms such as Google Cloud. Embedding Oracle hardware within Google data centers, the offering provides native Oracle performance combined with Google’s wider cloud ecosystem.
Alongside the regional rollout, the companies have introduced new capabilities. The latest updates include support for Oracle’s high-performance Exadata X11M systems and a newly available Oracle Base Database Service that automates lifecycle management. Available through the Google Cloud Marketplace, the service runs on both Oracle 19c and 23ai versions and supports pay-as-you-go pricing.
In addition to extending its global footprint with new regions—from Tokyo and São Paulo to Turin and Toronto—Oracle and Google plan to expand capacity in existing high-demand locations like London, Frankfurt, and Ashburn.
The collaboration goes beyond infrastructure. Oracle and Google also plan to launch a new partner program within the next year, aimed at enabling resellers to help accelerate adoption of the joint solution—a first-of-its-kind move in the multicloud space.
With this latest development, Oracle continues to push a broader multicloud strategy. The firm has previously signed comparable database agreements with Amazon and Microsoft, indicating a very public shift to openness and interoperability in an earlier cloud economy that had demanded exclusivity. The actual victors in this landscape realignment? Enterprises in the midst of complicated modernization journeys—who today enjoy greater choice, flexibility, and control of where and how their data reside.
