Oracle introduces new AI-driven database services on Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and AWS, and launches powerful infrastructure clusters with Nvidia and AMD.
Oracle announces new database services at its AI World event. Central to the announcements is the new Oracle AI Database 26ai, which has AI deeply embedded. This release replaces Oracle Database 23ai and supports applications such as AI Vector Search, agentic AI workflows, and quantum encryption for both data in motion and at rest.
Lakehouse and Superclusters
The database works closely with the Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse, an open data lakehouse solution based on Apache Iceberg, which is now available on all major cloud platforms. Together, they provide organizations with a foundation for large-scale AI applications, both on-premises and in multi-cloud environments.
Additionally, Oracle unveiled the AI Data Platform. This service combines data ingestion, semantic enrichment, and vector indexing in a single environment, aimed at simplifying the transition from raw data to production-ready AI. Companies can use this to build AI agents that automate internal processes or provide insights through integrated workflows.
At the infrastructure level, Oracle introduces the new Zettascale10 cluster. Built around hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, it can deliver up to 16 zettaFLOPS of computing power. Simultaneously, Oracle announced an expansion of its collaboration with AMD, with plans to roll out a supercluster with 50,000 AMD MI450 GPUs in 2026.
Playing the Field
Oracle is making its AI database services widely available on its three largest partners and competitors AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Each of these services includes built-in AI capabilities and support for vector searches, data analysis, and scalable storage, with integrations to Google Vertex AI, Microsoft Fabric, and Amazon Bedrock, among others.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud is now active in eight regions worldwide, with expansion planned to nine additional regions within the year. On Azure, Oracle is expanding to 28 regions, while AWS support will soon be extended from two to twenty additional regions. In all cases, customers can now purchase the services through marketplaces of the respective cloud providers, via authorized partners.
Also new is the introduction of partner programs that allow certified Oracle and hyperscaler partners to offer Oracle databases, integrate them into their own solutions, and provide support for multi-cloud migrations. Companies such as Accenture, Deloitte, and Infosys are among the first participants.
