As an extension of Oracle’s EU Sovereign Cloud, we’re pleased to announce the availability of Oracle EU Sovereign Operations for Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer (ExaDB-C@C). This is the same Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer Service offered at the same price as deployed with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) commercial public cloud control plane. Until now the Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer service used control planes in commercial OCI realms and were managed and supported by global teams. With EU Sovereign Operations you have a new choice:
- Control planes for Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer located in one of Oracle’s EU Sovereign Cloud regions
- EU Sovereign Operations
- Hardware installation, activation and field hardware support are provided by staff with the right to work in the countries of hardware deployment.
EU Sovereign Cloud Operations without added cost or compromise
Oracle Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer brings the performance, automation, and economics of Exadata Database Dedicated Service and the fully managed Autonomous Database into enterprise data centers. It’s the simplest way for customers to start using cloud database resources in their data centers and help meet strict data residency requirements.
Customers are increasingly concerned with control of their data and the ability to meet evolving regulatory requirements. Oracle EU Sovereign Operations is designed to help meet these requirements for both private companies in regulated industries and public sector organizations that use database cloud services to run their applications and manage sensitive data.
EU Sovereign Operations for Exadata Database Cloud@Customer is offered with the control plane located in one of Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud regions, currently either Madrid, Spain or Frankfurt, Germany. The service is offered in European Union member countries and other select countries in Europe. The service delivers the same features, functions, value and service level objectives (SLOs) offered with Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer service with control planes from OCI commercial public cloud regions.
The cloud operation teams are employed by Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud legal entities and are located in the EU. The Exadata Cloud@Customer infrastructure is constrained to deployments in EU countries and additionally to the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Israel, Turkey, and Bosnia Herzegovina.
EU Sovereign Operations for Exadata Database Cloud@Customer is available for new subscriptions starting with Exadata Database on Cloud@Customer X10M.
The same pricing and programs as with OCI commercial operations
Pricing, available services, licensing rules, commercial programs like Bring Your Own License, Oracle Support Rewards or Multi-Customer are the same as in OCI commercial public cloud regions. To help customers protect their data Oracle requires:
- The Data and Device Retention service, where failed permanent storage devices or permanent storage devices at the end of service remain with EU Sovereign Operations customers.
- Customers to escort hardware support and services personnel.
EU Sovereign Operations for Exadata Database Cloud@Customer is available for new ExaDB-C@C subscriptions starting with X10M.
