Together, Microsoft and Oracle are delivering the most comprehensive, enterprise‑ready platform for organizations migrating their Oracle solutions to the public cloud—especially those aiming to empower IT professionals and developers to streamline AI adoption and enhance employee productivity.
Oracle Database@Azure was the first offering of its kind in the market and today has the broadest regional availability, new ways to unify your data in Microsoft Fabric, deeper security integrations with Microsoft Defender, and can run most Oracle Database services—Base Database Service, Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure, Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure and Autonomous Database as well as Oracle Database 19c or 23ai—on Azure.
The result? A truly enterprise‑ready platform that offers more choice, increased control, and expanded opportunity to innovate with confidence–and customers are excited about the impact it’s driving in action.
Oracle Database@Azure delivered Exadata-grade performance natively within Azure, enabling us to host our Oracle EBS in the cloud without compromise. We gained native, real-time access to EBS data from Azure and seamless integration with both Oracle and non-Oracle data sources. Paired now with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Copilot studio, our team will be able to accelerate insight delivery to business stakeholders and build agentic workflows faster. It’s a practical path to iterate on new features while keeping governance and security at the forefront.
