Oracle Bets Big On Multi-Cloud Offerings For The Indian Govt!

Oracle has two multi-Cloud offerings: the database service for Microsoft Azure and the ‘One MySQL’ database service for Amazon Web Services (AWS), which have generated great traction among the private sector.

According to Prasad Rai, Vice President of the Global Strategic Clients Group at Oracle India, there is an excellent demand for multi-Cloud offerings among government stakeholders.

“Multi-cloud makes a lot of sense for them as the governments and the public sector have invested in various technologies. Moving those to the cloud will not have to go through the trouble of entirely rewriting it for the cloud. Their first move to the cloud will be in a multi-cloud environment,” Rai told IANS.

Oracle, which has had several public sectors and state governments in India as its customer for years, is now in a position to help them move their workloads in a much more efficient way with its multi-cloud solutions.

Users can now migrate or build new applications on Azure and connect to high-performance, high-availability managed Oracle Database services such as Autonomous Database running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

On the other hand, ‘The MySQL HeatWave database service can help AWS users run transaction processing, analytics, and machine learning workloads in one service, without requiring time-consuming processes and duplication between separate databases.

According to Rai, he sees great opportunities for multi-cloud adoption in the government sector. However, the initial uptake will be in the private sector, especially in the verticals like banking and telecom, which are gearing up for 5G.
