Oracle forges alliances with cloud competitors
Oracle, database stalwart, is partnering with cloud competitors Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to expand market share in recognition its own efforts have seen limited success, reports the Wall Street Journal. The move allows cloud competitor clients to use Oracle's database solutions, potentially streamlining operations and enhancing data management capabilities.
Oracle's partnerships enable faster processing by integrating its hardware into partners' data centers, facilitating seamless migration of critical workloads. This strategy leverages Oracle's deeply embedded database technology to enter new markets, especially AI. The company continues to offer its own cloud platform as a cost-effective alternative, including private cloud solutions for organizations with stringent data privacy requirements.
