Oracle offers Database@Google Cloud in Canada

Oracle offered Oracle Database@Google Cloud in Canada to help customers improve analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) productivity, address data residency requirements, and accelerate IT modernization.

The availability extended to Google Cloud regions North America‑Northeast 1 (Montreal) and North America‑Northeast 2 (Toronto), and allowed customers to keep data in-region to address sovereignty and compliance requirements. Google Cloud and Oracle partners could resell the offering through the Google Cloud Marketplace and use existing Google Cloud commitments for procurement.

The launch enabled customers to run Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, Oracle Autonomous AI Database, and Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the specified Google Cloud regions. The offering also described integrations with Google BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Google’s Gemini models, and listed Oracle AI Database 26ai features such as Oracle AI Vector Search and JSON Relational Duality Views.

The partner program permitted Google Cloud and Oracle partners that belonged to both the Google Cloud Partner Advantage program and the Oracle PartnerNetwork to purchase Oracle Database@Google Cloud through private offers on the Google Cloud Marketplace, resell it, and integrate it into their solutions. The announcement also documented the existing list of Google Cloud regions where the offering was available and named additional regions planned for rollout.

“As more organizations in Canada embrace multicloud architectures, Oracle Database@Google Cloud provides the industry-leading reliability and performance that is required,” said Vijay Bangaru, vice president, Multicloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “By combining Oracle's database leadership with Google Cloud's AI capabilities, Oracle Database@Google Cloud empowers organizations across Canada to accelerate IT modernization, realize AI's value, and innovate confidently in a multicloud environment,” said Farsad Nasseri, country managing director, Google Cloud Canada. “Leveraging the combined strengths of Oracle and Google Cloud, we're helping organizations in Canada create flexible, enterprise-grade foundations for innovation,” said Karin Wiens, lead alliance partner, Google Cloud, Deloitte Canada.

The companies said new regional availability was planned for the next 12 months.
