Unlocking the Power of Choice: Oracle’s Multi-Cloud Strategy

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, flexibility is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Organisations in New Zealand and around the world are increasingly adopting multi-cloud strategies to reduce risk, avoid vendor lock-in, and make the most of best-in-class capabilities across cloud platforms. Oracle is leading the way in this space with a robust and rapidly evolving multi-cloud ecosystem that is helping customers transform how they run their businesses.

What is Oracle Multi-Cloud?

Oracle Multi-Cloud is more than just the ability to connect to other clouds—it’s about creating a seamless experience across platforms like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud, without compromising on performance, security, or manageability. Oracle’s goal is to meet customers where they are and provide the best of Oracle’s database and application technologies, no matter which cloud—or combination of clouds—they choose.

Why It Matters for NZ Organisations

For many New Zealand businesses, especially those with existing Oracle workloads on-premises or in the cloud, the ability to integrate Oracle services with other cloud-native solutions opens up powerful new possibilities:

• Azure-Oracle Interconnect: Enterprises can run Oracle Database on OCI while leveraging Azure’s AI and analytics tools over a low-latency, high-throughput connection—available now in multiple global regions.

• Oracle Database@Azure: Recently launched, this service brings Oracle Exadata infrastructure directly into Azure data centers, allowing organisations to run mission-critical Oracle databases within Azure.

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) on AWS: This is an exciting development that enables OCI services to be deployed within AWS environments, providing unified identity, billing, and networking.

• Sovereign and Industry Clouds: With compliance and data residency becoming increasingly important, Oracle is investing in sovereign and industry-specific cloud regions that can serve sectors like healthcare, government, and financial services.

Real-World Use Cases

Organisations are already leveraging Oracle’s multi-cloud approach to:

• Modernise ERP and analytics without refactoring core systems

• Enable disaster recovery across clouds

• Combine Oracle Autonomous Database with AWS S3 data lakes

• Build high-availability architectures that span multiple clouds
