In today’s digital world, enterprises don’t want to be locked into a single cloud provider. They want flexibility, cost control, performance, and the freedom to run workloads wherever it makes the most sense.To support this new reality, Oracle has unlocked Multicloud capabilities, giving customers the power to run Oracle technology on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or a combination of Oracle Cloud and any of these providers. This is a major shift — and a huge advantage for businesses that rely on Oracle databases, applications, and infrastructure. What is Oracle Multicloud? Oracle Multicloud means: You can run Oracle workloads (like Oracle Database, Oracle WebLogic, Oracle E-Business Suite, analytics, and integrations) on other cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. You can also connect Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and use them together in a hybrid or multicloud setup. In short: Oracle gives customers the freedom to choose the best cloud for each workload. Why Oracle Introduced Multicloud? Oracle understands that customers already use multiple clouds: Instead of forcing customers to choose one, Oracle now supports all — allowing systems to communicate, scale, and perform across clouds seamlessly  Oracle Multicloud Partnerships Oracle now has deep partnerships with all major cloud providers: 1.
