Overview
- Oracle and Amazon Web Services, in a deal announced Thursday, will connect Oracle Interconnect with AWS Interconnect–multicloud to create direct, private high‑speed links between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and AWS.
- The companies plan an initial rollout later this year in AWS’s US East (N. Virginia) region, with support for full or split‑stack setups that avoid extra network vendors or new physical network gear.
- Oracle says the connectivity builds on Oracle AI Database@AWS, making it easier to move data and run applications where they perform best for generative‑AI projects.
- Oracle shares rose about 4% during Thursday trading after the partnership update, reflecting investor interest in simpler multicloud options.
- Oracle notes it already operates interconnects across 26 partner cloud regions and reported $8.9 billion in March fiscal Q3 cloud revenue, showing the scale behind this multicloud push.
