Oracle, VMware partner to support customers’ hybrid cloud strategies

By TechTaffy Desk

Oracle and VMware have inked an expanded partnership, where customers will be able to run VMware Cloud Foundation on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

With this new solution, customers will be able to migrate VMware vSphere workloads to Oracle’s Generation 2 Cloud Infrastructure. As a part of this partnership, Oracle will also provide technical support for Oracle software running in VMware environments both in customer on-premise data centers and Oracle-certified cloud environments.

“VMware is delighted that for the first time, Oracle will officially offer technical support for Oracle products running on VMware. This is a win-win for customers,” said Sanjay Poonen, chief operating officer, customer operations, VMware.

With this announcement, Oracle becomes a partner in the VMware Cloud Provider Program and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution will be sold by Oracle and its partners. The solution will be based on VMware Cloud Foundation and will deliver a full stack software-defined data center (SDDC) including VMware vSphere, NSX, and vSAN.

Customers will be able to use Oracle services, such as Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Exadata Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud, which run in the same cloud data centers, on the same networks, with a consistent portal and APIs.
