Oracle Launches Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure to Power AI and Mission-Critical Workloads
The new service is designed to automatically distribute, store, and synchronise data across OCI regions.
Oracle has announced the general availability of its Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure, a next-generation service aimed at simplifying the deployment of mission-critical, globally distributed applications across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
The new service is designed to automatically distribute, store, and synchronise data across OCI regions, enabling continuous uptime—even during regional outages—while helping businesses meet local data residency requirements. Its serverless architecture can dynamically scale with demand, making it suitable for workloads like real-time analytics, high-volume transactions, and agentic AI applications.
“Providing exceptional customer satisfaction is important to PayPal, so we’ve been using Oracle Exadata for many years to provide lightning-fast response times and mission-critical availability,” said Akash Guha, director of database engineering, PayPal. “We look forward to using Oracle Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure’s always-on, serverless architecture with built-in Raft replication to accelerate responses, enable greater application resilience, and lower costs.”
The platform supports high-performance use cases, including vector search for AI workloads, hyperscale OLTP, and real-time streaming analytics.
“Oracle Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure’s serverless architecture enables customers of all sizes to meet their diverse requirements at a low cost,” said Wei Hu, SVP of High Availability Technologies at Oracle.
With built-in Raft replication, elastic scalability, and support for full Oracle SQL, the platform offers a unified global database experience without the complexity of traditional distributed systems.
