Global expansion—now available in West Europe (Netherlands)

Global availability is critical as customers address data residency, sovereignty, and regional compliance requirements. Over the past year, we have worked closely with Oracle to rapidly expand the global footprint of Oracle Database, bringing Oracle AI Database services to more than 30 Azure regions worldwide. We are excited to announce that Oracle Database is now available in the West Europe (Netherlands) region.

This expansion allows customers across Europe to deploy AI and data‑intensive workloads closer to their users while meeting stringent regulatory and compliance standards. In addition, Oracle Database is now live in Brazil Southeast (Rio de Janeiro), enhancing regional disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities. This new region complements the existing Brazil South (São Paulo) region, providing customers with greater resilience and flexibility across geographies.

Seamless migration to oracle database—WITHOUT RE‑ARCHITECTING With Oracle Database, Microsoft and Oracle deliver a unified, AI-ready data platform that brings applications and data together in a single, tightly integrated cloud environment. Oracle Database services—including Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Base Database Service, and Oracle Exadata Database Service (Exascale and Dedicated)—run on Oracle Exadata infrastructure deployed directly inside Azure datacenters, providing ultra-low latency, high throughput, and predictable performance for Azure-based applications..
