Oracle and AWS Collaborate to Expand Multicloud Networking

Customers can now establish private, simplified, high-speed connectivity between OCI and AWS

Oracle plans to expand its multicloud networking capabilities to provide customers with enterprise-grade, high-performance connectivity between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and AWS. By establishing connectivity between Oracle Interconnect and AWS Interconnect–multicloud customers will have access to a fast, private, managed connection to run applications and move data seamlessly between OCI and AWS.

“Oracle continues to advance multicloud connectivity as part of its commitment to helping customers unlock flexibility, agility, and performance across clouds,” said Nathan Thomas, senior vice president, product management, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “With Oracle AI Database@AWS, we pioneered a simpler way for customers to run Oracle AI Database workloads in AWS with the same features, architecture, and performance as they expect on-premises. We’re now building on that by establishing connectivity between our popular cross-cloud interconnect and AWS Interconnect–multicloud. This will help our mutual customers modernize their applications, unify their data, and unlock new generative AI opportunities.”

Supporting both full and split-stack multicloud deployments, the collaboration between OCI and AWS will also enable organizations to leverage the strengths of multiple cloud providers without the complexities of managing multiple network providers and installing physical network infrastructure. With unified connectivity between OCI and AWS, customers can accelerate AI modernization while meeting operational flexibility without managing complex data replication.

OCI has built native, high-performance interconnect capabilities designed for enterprise-scale workloads, enabling seamless multicloud connectivity across 26 interconnected partner cloud regions. Through its multicloud networking solutions, OCI enables customers to establish secure, private, and highly available cloud-to-cloud connectivity without the operational complexity of traditional, manually configured networking approaches. The AWS Interconnect–multicloud open specification has enabled a new generation of enterprise multicloud connectivity. The collaboration between OCI and AWS Interconnect–multicloud will be the latest addition to Oracle’s comprehensive multicloud capabilities and is planned to be available later this year in the AWS US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1 region.
