Interconnect enables customers to migrate and run mission-critical workloads at FedRAMP High
The Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure combines Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect and Microsoft ExpressRoute to enable customers to deploy workloads across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure regions. This provides less than two milliseconds of round-trip latency for superior multicloud network performance. Customers can also build new cloud-native applications using Azure for US Government and Oracle Government Cloud technologies.
With no additional charge for data transfer between the two clouds, Azure for US Government customers can maximize application performance by connecting government applications running in Azure directly to Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service in the Oracle US Government Cloud. In addition, customers can take advantage of unique services in each hyperscaler such as Oracle Cloud Application and Process Integration Services and use them over a high bandwidth and low latency connection. For example, Azure analytics applications can seamlessly integrate with 'single source of truth' customer data residing in Oracle Government Cloud over a low-cost, high-performance connection.
Industry-specific applications such as Oracle Communications session border controllers, which are critical for real-time communications and Microsoft Teams connectivity to PSTN providers, can also benefit from Oracle Government Cloud's resiliency and reliability, with the elimination of downtime failovers.
"Government agencies shouldn't be stuck with a single cloud provider," said Kim Lynch, executive vice president, Government, Intelligence and Defense, Oracle. "Agencies need to be able to choose the best performing and most cost-effective cloud for each of their workloads. The support for the interconnect in these government regions provides a powerful new option for our mutual customers. By combining the strengths of the FedRAMP High-authorized Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure regions, agencies can achieve new levels of efficiency and scalability."
"Our collaboration with Oracle is unlocking new possibilities for government agencies by integrating the best of Microsoft and Oracle Cloud technologies," said Brett Tanzer, vice president Azure Solutions and Ecosystem, Microsoft. "This partnership empowers our joint customers to innovate faster, using advanced analytics, AI, Security and App services in the cloud."
"As organizations work to meet strict regulatory standards and data sovereignty requirements, multicloud environments can provide new levels of flexibility," said Samia Tarraf, Oracle Business Group lead for Accenture. "The Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure will offer our government clients a new choice on where to run their workloads. Coupled with Accenture's experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure, through this integration we can help clients reinvent and capture the value of generative AI and data sovereignty with a strong digital core."
