Technology integration
By using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect and Azure ExpressRoute, customers can seamlessly build a private interconnection between their OCI and Microsoft Azure environments. The interconnect also enables joint customers to take advantage of a unified identity and access management platform, which can lead to cost savings. Cloud engineers can set up single sign-on (SSO) authentication between Microsoft Azure and OCI for their Oracle applications. Having a federated SSO makes the integration seamless and lets users authenticate only once to access multiple applications, rather than signing in separately to access each one.
- About two milliseconds of round-trip latency for traffic between OCI and Microsoft Azure
- Pricing based solely on port capacities for OCI FastConnect and Azure ExpressRoute Local Circuit
Application interoperability
With Oracle Interconnect for Azure, customers can access tested, validated, and supported deployments for packaged, cloud native, custom, and third-party applications to assist with ongoing innovation while leveraging current environments. The traffic between Azure and Oracle Cloud flows directly through the private physical connection with round-trip latency of about two milliseconds. Customers can further restrict the flow of traffic by using network security groups (NSGs) and security lists.
- Deploy Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI and Microsoft Power BI on Microsoft Azure.
- Deploy Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI and Microsoft Azure front end.
- Deploy MySQL Database Service with HeatWave on OCI and microservices-based applications on Microsoft Azure.
- Deploy Oracle WebLogic and Oracle Database on OCI and connect it to a .Net application and Microsoft SQL Server on Microsoft Azure.
Collaborative support model
Oracle Interconnect for Azure offers a seamless issue resolution process that can be initiated through Microsoft or Oracle when an issue is encountered. For customers who have Oracle software licenses and support, Oracle delivers support directly to customers who are running Oracle software on Windows Server Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure. As additional services are launched because of this partnership, more details on the support model will be shared.
- Raise issues with Oracle or Microsoft.
- Joint resolution is offered by both cloud vendors.
- Oracle support will request the customer’s permission to engage with Microsoft directly; a similar resolution model applies to Microsoft.
Networking use cases
Explore the Oracle Interconnect for Azure networking use cases to support multicloud connectivity. Microsoft and Oracle have copublished several solutions to assist multicloud customers using the interconnect and to enable network connectivity using validated patterns.
- Extend the OCI-Azure interconnect using Azure Virtual WAN.
- Enable Azure and OCI interconnectivity using ExpressRoute and region peering.
- Enable the OCI-Azure interconnect and secure your traffic using a network virtual appliance (NVA).
Disaster recovery (DR)
To enable customers to deploy an effective DR architecture, Oracle is working toward providing more than one interconnect region in each geographic region, such as US East and US West in North America. Every interconnect circuit (ExpressRoute and FastConnect) comes with a redundant circuit on the same POP but a different physical router, providing high availability.
- The cost of Azure ExpressRoute varies across regions. Oracle recommends using the Local setting, which has no separate ingress or egress charges.
