Globally Distributed Autonomous Database Features
Simple Autonomous management
Automatic data distribution
Data is automatically distributed across shards to simplify application deployment. Administrators can control the mapping of data to individual shards for regulatory or performance requirements.
Automated application routing
Developers can access the distributed database as a single logical database due to native support for Oracle Database client drivers.
Centralized administration
A shard catalog allows you to manage all shards in a sharded database as a single, logical database.
Cloud Scale performance and availability
Dedicated system resources
Dedicated Oracle Exadata Cloud Infrastructure in OCI with configurable operational policies provides processor, memory, networking, and storage resources that enable data isolation and predictable performance.
Shared-nothing architecture
Fast, predictable database performance is provided by a distributed database architecture with no resources shared across database shards.
One-click disaster recovery
The fault-tolerant Exadata platform combined with a distributed database architecture enable 99.95% availability SLAs that increase to 99.995% when used with Oracle Autonomous Data Guard.
Fast failover with zero data loss
Built-in Raft replication provides a consensus-based, high performance, low-overhead availability solution.
Built-in security
Compliance and data security
Data distribution can be configured by administrators so that data stays in a given geographical location to help comply with data residency requirements.
Security for sensitive data
Oracle Data Safe, included with the service, makes it easy to discover sensitive data, evaluate security risks, mask sensitive data, and implement and monitor security controls.
Always-on encryption
Provides automatic encryption for the entire database and for backups with encryption keys that you create and control, ensuring your data is always secure, at rest and in motion.
Simple application development
Support for relational and nonrelational data models
Natively supports multiple data types including document, graph, spatial, JSON, XML, and more for simpler application development.
REST API support for modern application development
Provides database management REST APIs, web interface, and PL/SQL Gateway.
No-code/low-code development
Oracle APEX Application Development, Oracle’s low-code application development platform, is built into Oracle Autonomous Database and eliminates 98% of hand coding, empowering developers to rapidly build sophisticated applications.
