In today’s fast-changing cloud and AI landscape, our partnership with Oracle represents the power of collaboration to drive customer transformation at scale. Microsoft and Oracle share a common goal: to enable organizations to modernize their data estates, accelerate AI innovation, and deliver measurable business outcomes. Oracle Database@Azure brings this vision to life by combining the best of both platforms and putting our partners at the center of that transformation.
Announcements from Oracle AI World
At Oracle AI World, we introduced a new set of advancements that expand what’s possible for our customers and partners. Azure Accelerate, within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, support now includes Oracle Database@Azure workloads, offering partners funding, credits, and the Cloud Accelerate Factory for zero-cost deployment assistance. This allows partners to move customers to Azure faster, reduce migration risks, and increase delivery speed. Partners will also be able to resell Oracle Database@Azure directly through Microsoft Marketplace, making it easier to package, license, and deploy solutions globally while building new revenue streams.
The platform itself also continues to evolve quickly. Oracle Database@Azure now supports Oracle Base Database Service, Exadata Exascale 19c, and Oracle Database 23ai across more than 28 regions worldwide, enabling a broad multicloud hyperscaler reach. Native Oracle GoldenGate integration with Oracle Database@Azure now connects directly to Microsoft Fabric, making it easier to unify data across systems, reduce latency, and activate AI and analytics at scale. Partners can also use Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry to create and deploy custom agents and low-code AI solutions powered by more than 1,900 models.
Security and operations are integrated across Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Entra ID, giving customers AI-driven threat detection, real-time monitoring, and unified identity management. Azure Arc integration adds full visibility, policy management, and automation across hybrid and multicloud environments, allowing partners to deliver consistent governance from a single control plane.
The partnership between Microsoft and Oracle builds on years of co-engineering, centered on helping customers modernize mission-critical workloads without compromise. Together, we’ve brought Oracle Exadata infrastructure directly into Azure datacenters, unifying Microsoft and Oracle ecosystems through shared networking, identity, and governance. The result is a seamless cloud experience that combines Azure’s scalability and security with Oracle’s trusted database performance.
"As strategic partners for both Oracle and Microsoft, leading some of their largest client transformations, this partner-first approach will further enhance how we support the cloud migration and multicloud and AI needs of our clients.... By combining the performance and reliability of Oracle Database with Microsoft Azure’s rich set of application development and AI services, Oracle Database@Azure will help our clients accelerate modernization, unlock new insights, and drive greater business value.
- Andy Tay, Global Lead of Accenture Cloud First
