Oracle and Microsoft, working together

Over the past year, Oracle has been busy expanding and enhancing our product portfolio and our Microsoft partnership to further help our customers protect their data and operate their workloads in multicloud. Consider the following highlights of recent announcements and news.

• Continued innovation with Oracle Database@Azure: Since the announcement of Oracle Database@Azure last year, further expansions have been made in our partnership with Microsoft, including its arrival in EMEA. This offering delivers Oracle database services running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) inside Azure data centers and gives customers more flexibility in where they run their workloads. Customers can seamlessly migrate and run their mission-critical Oracle Database workloads on Azure, where they can access the rich set of technology needed to accelerate innovation and compete more effectively, while also simplifying management and reducing costs. Oracle database services in Azure are designed to offer high levels of performance, scale, security, and availability.

Customers can run cloud native applications with direct access to data in Oracle Database@Azure with the same security and compliance controls across the entire solution. So, they can deploy a layered security strategy using built-in cloud identity and access management (IAM) and data security services with the ability to seamlessly integrate with Azure.
