Oracle's Multi-Cloud Interoperability

Abstract

Cloud adoption is now more of a multi-vendor solution rather than a single vendor solution, and multicloud solutions, whereby organizations have taken the services of more than one vendor to gain flexibility, resiliency, and performance. Oracle has now established a foothold in this spot with interoperability between the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure. Oracle workloads can be run directly on these platforms through projects such as Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@AWS, as well as dedicated interconnect services, thereby reducing latency and avoiding vendor lock-in.

The current paper covers the opportunities and challenges of Oracle multicloud interoperability. It investigates building patterns, performance benefits, costs, and risks in a qualitative study based on technical documentation and case studies. The findings show that the Oracle strategy has the potential to enhance the portability of the workloads, disaster recovery, and agility. It requires a prudent approach to governance and integration practices. The article sheds light on the contribution of Oracle to changing the enterprise IT strategy and offers advice to the association that has to work in multifaceted multicloud settings.
