Get more value from data and analytics
Do more using a data platform designed for speed, agility, and simplicity
Autonomous Database provides the foundation for a data lakehouse—a modern, open architecture that enables you to store, analyze, and understand all your data. The data lakehouse combines the power and richness of data warehouses with the breadth, flexibility, and low cost of popular open source data lake technologies. Access your data lakehouse through Autonomous Database using the world's most powerful and open SQL processing engine.
Oracle’s data lakehouse platform is built from a combination of a data lake and data warehouse to form a data lakehouse. It merges data warehouse and data lake capabilities to enable easier data movement with a more unified architecture. Integrating data lake and data warehouse provides many benefits, including data management, AI and machine learning, and integration options.Analyze any data, anywhere
Autonomous Database's advanced data processing engine lets you gain insights across multicloud data sources. It doesn't matter if your data is in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure object stores and databases. Or, if your data is in big data file formats such as Apache Parquet, JSON, Apache ORC, Apache Avro, CSV, or XML, Autonomous Database delivers a simple, consistent view of your data estate using your preferred SQL-based tools and applications.
All the data ingestion, transformation and integration flows into the data stores, warehouses, and data lakes. At the very core, Oracle offers a unified, efficient, low cost and scalable place to unify all this enterprise data even though the data may sit unstructured all the way to structured and curated data. Here you can store, manage, analyze and understand all your data.Empower innovators with integrated, self-service analytics
Increase the productivity of business users by reducing their dependency on IT, using self-service data tools, and creating low-code analytic applications. Enhance collaboration across teams with Autonomous Database’s analytic views that provide common business definitions and metrics integrated with Oracle Analytics Cloud, Tableau, and other business intelligence applications. Enhance business storytelling based on all data, using the power of built-in machine learning, spatial and graph analytics, and data visualization.
With Oracle Autonomous Database, data scientists, business analysts, and non-experts can rapidly, easily, and cost-effectively discover business insights using data of any size and type.Prevent risks with security assessments, auditing, and active protection
Autonomous Database provides the most advanced data security that helps reduce the risk of a data breach and simplifies regulatory compliance. Its automated self-patching, automatic, always-on encryption and key management, granular access controls, and flexible data masking provide comprehensive user behavior monitoring with sophisticated auditing capabilities.

*To make it easier to compare pricing across cloud service providers, Oracle web pages show both vCPU (virtual CPUs) prices and OCPU (Oracle CPU) prices for products with compute-based pricing. The products themselves, provisioning in the portal, billing, etc. continue to use OCPU (Oracle CPU) prices. OCPUs represent physical CPU cores. Most CPU architectures, including x86, execute two threads per physical core, so one OCPU is the equivalent of two vCPUs for x86-based compute. The per-hour OCPU rate customers are billed at is therefore twice the vCPU price since they receive two vCPUs of compute power for each OCPU, unless it’s a sub-core instance such as preemptible instances.
Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure
Dave McCarthy, Research Vice President, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services, IDC
Oracle and Microsoft simplify the path to multicloud choice
Cloud has fundamentally changed the way organizations develop applications, secure data, and manage infrastructure. The ability to quickly provision resources, scale on demand, and deploy globally has created new opportunities to innovate. In 2022, IDC expects spending on cloud infrastructure to outpace non-cloud infrastructure for the first time.
