Oracle enhances Database@AWS with AI Lakehouse and partner program

Oracle announced new enhancements to its Oracle Database@AWS, now incorporating support for Oracle Autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lakehouse, Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service, and Terraform. This advancement aims to bolster support for mission-critical workloads in cloud environments.

Enterprises, such as Zema Global, can now procure Oracle Database@AWS through Oracle and AWS channel partners, enabling flexible purchasing options while enhancing database management.

Karan Batta, senior vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, noted the strong demand for Oracle Database@AWS since its General Availability (GA) in July. He indicated that the new capabilities improve security and data protection, facilitating near-instantaneous recovery and streamlined deployment for DevOps teams.

The introduction of a partner program allows resellers to offer Oracle Database@AWS, broadening customer access through existing trusted relationships. Ruba Borno, vice president at AWS, emphasized that this availability enhances customer choice and supports the integration of AI applications.

Oracle Database@AWS facilitates the migration of Oracle Exadata workloads to AWS with minimal adjustments while maintaining full performance. It supports zero-ETL integrations for advanced analytics and AI services, allowing for operational efficiency across sectors.

Chad Ellison, CTO of Zema Global, highlighted the advantages of migrating to AWS, including improved uptime and access to market data necessary for traders. The ability to couple enterprise data with Amazon Bedrock aids in developing AI solutions to enhance customer value.

Notable features of the new Oracle Database@AWS include the Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service, which protects transactions in real-time, and Terraform support for simplified database management.

The Oracle Database@AWS offering will soon expand availability to additional global regions. Currently accessible in U.S. East and U.S. West, there are plans to extend to 20 more locations, including sites in Canada, Europe, and Asia.
