Oracle Database@Google Cloud is Now Available in Canada

Oracle Database@Google Cloud is designed to help customers combine their enterprise data in Oracle databases with Google Cloud's analytics and AI services to improve decision-making and drive comprehensive business insights from BigQuery, Google's Vertex AI platform, and Google's Gemini models. In addition, it enables customers to migrate their mission-critical Oracle workloads to the industry-leading Oracle AI Database and modernize their applications using Google Cloud services.

"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. "For example, customers in Canada can now benefit from seamless integration of Oracle AI Database with Google Cloud's powerful AI and analytics tools, all while helping meet Canada's data sovereignty requirements."

"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. "This launch enables customers to advance their cloud strategies and create next-generation multicloud solutions." 

Powerful Cloud Database Services
Oracle Database@Google Cloud gives customers direct access to Oracle AI Database services running on OCI and deployed in Google Cloud regions, enabling low-latency connectivity to applications running on Google Cloud and simple, secure integrations to Vertex AI and Google's leading Gemini models. The first services available through Oracle Database@Google Cloud to customers in Canada are:

• Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure: Customers can use Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, which supports Oracle Exadata X11M and uniquely leverages Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), to help deliver significant performance, scalability, availability, and security benefits to the most demanding workloads across AI, analytics, and online transaction processing (OLTP).
• Oracle Autonomous AI Database: Customers can use Oracle Autonomous AI Database to reduce administration and accelerate application development by leveraging Oracle's convergence of multiple data types and workloads into a single platform. Oracle Autonomous AI Database is a fully managed platform that uses AI and ML to automate critical tasks such as patching, provisioning, monitoring, scaling, tuning, backups, and application indexing. It also delivers automatic threat detection and remediation, proven scale—supporting more than 48 billion queries per hour—and extensive built-in AI capabilities.
• Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse: Customers can use Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse for enterprise-wide AI and analytics by combining the best of the open-source Apache Iceberg open data tables format with Oracle AI Database 26ai, Oracle Exadata, and Oracle Autonomous AI Database. It also integrates with other data platforms, including Google BigQuery and BigLake, enabling Google Cloud users to easily and securely apply Google's Gemini models and Google's Vertex AI platform to their data, regardless of where it's stored.
• Oracle AI Database 26ai: Customers can accelerate app development and run mission-critical workloads with the latest version of Oracle AI Database, which includes Oracle AI Vector Search, JSON Relational Duality Views, and over 300 additional major features that simplify the use of AI with data. Unified Hybrid Vector Search combines Oracle AI Vector Search with relational, text, JSON, knowledge graph, and spatial searches to support retrieval of related documents, images, videos, audio, and structured data. Customers can easily integrate AI Vector Search with LLMs, allowing private data to be retrieved and enriched with public information to answer business questions. With JSON Relational Duality Views, developers no longer have to choose a single data model for their data and, instead, can build applications that use both JSON and relational data models on the same data.
• Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service: Customers can help protect transactions in real-time with Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service. This enables them to recover business-critical data to within less than a second of when an outage or ransomware attack occurs—in the same location or across Google Cloud or OCI regions. Daily virtualized full backups and an incremental-forever model minimize backup windows, eliminating the need for weekly full backups. Backups are automatically validated without affecting production, and policy-controlled immutability helps ensure that encrypted backups are protected from deletion or modification.

New Oracle Database@Google Cloud Partner Program
The new industry-first partner program is now available and enables Google Cloud and Oracle partners in Canada to purchase Oracle Database@Google Cloud through the Google Cloud Marketplace via a private offer, resell it to their customers, and integrate it into their solutions to support multicloud and IT modernization initiatives.

The program is open to partners that belong to both the Google Cloud Partner Advantage program and the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). Partners can leverage their existing investments in Google Cloud commitments to address the growing demand for modern, multicloud architectures.

"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. "Oracle Database@Google Cloud provides timely opportunities to move faster and harness technology across multicloud environments."

The new North America-Northeast 2 (Toronto) region is in addition to the 11 available Google Cloud regions across Asia-Northeast 1 (Tokyo), Asia-South 1 (Mumbai), Australia-Southeast 1 (Sydney), Australia-Southeast 2 (Melbourne), Germany Central (Frankfurt), North America-Northeast 1 (Montreal), South America-East 1 (São Paulo), UK South (London), US Central 1 (Iowa), US East (Ashburn), and US West (Salt Lake City). New regional availability is planned for the next 12 months to support growing customer demand in Asia-Northeast (Seoul), Asia-Northeast 2 (Osaka), Asia-South 2 (Delhi), Europe Southwest (Madrid), Europe West (Paris), Europe-West 8 (Milan), Europe-West 12 (Turin), Middle East Central (Dammam), North America-South 1 (Mexico), and South America West (Santiago).
