description: OCI to Azure service mapping for competitive positioning.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
service_mapping:
|
|
database:
|
|
- oci: "ADB-S"
|
|
azure: "Azure SQL Managed Instance / Azure Database for PostgreSQL"
|
|
oci_advantage: |
|
|
ADB-S runs actual Oracle Database. Azure SQL MI is SQL Server only.
|
|
No native Oracle database service on Azure.
|
|
Oracle on Azure VMs loses Exadata performance and autonomous operations.
|
|
azure_advantage: "Native SQL Server support if migrating from SQL Server."
|
|
- oci: "ExaCS"
|
|
azure: "Oracle Database@Azure (ExaCS in Azure datacenters)"
|
|
notes: |
|
|
Oracle Database@Azure is ExaCS running in Azure datacenters with
|
|
direct connectivity to Azure services. Available in select regions.
|
|
This is a partnership offering, not a competitive comparison.
|
|
|
|
compute:
|
|
- oci: "OCI Compute"
|
|
azure: "Azure Virtual Machines"
|
|
oci_advantage: "Flexible shapes, lower cost for Oracle workloads."
|
|
azure_advantage: "Deeper Microsoft ecosystem integration, Hybrid Benefit."
|
|
|
|
networking:
|
|
- oci: "OCI Interconnect with Azure"
|
|
azure: "Azure ExpressRoute with OCI"
|
|
notes: |
|
|
OCI and Azure have a direct interconnect in multiple regions.
|
|
Low-latency (<2ms) connectivity for hybrid deployments.
|
|
Enables Oracle DB on OCI with apps on Azure.
|
|
|
|
pricing_comparison:
|
|
notes: |
|
|
For Oracle workloads, OCI is significantly cheaper:
|
|
- No Oracle license surcharge on OCI
|
|
- Exadata performance not available on Azure
|
|
- BYOL works better on OCI
|
|
- Data egress cheaper on OCI
|
|
|
|
common_objections:
|
|
- objection: "We're an Azure shop — Microsoft is our strategic partner"
|
|
response: |
|
|
Oracle Database@Azure allows running OCI database services directly
|
|
in Azure datacenters. Your team stays in the Azure portal while
|
|
getting OCI database performance and economics.
|
|
- objection: "We prefer Azure SQL for our databases"
|
|
response: |
|
|
For SQL Server workloads, Azure SQL is excellent. For Oracle database
|
|
workloads that must remain Oracle, OCI provides superior performance
|
|
and cost. Consider multi-cloud: Azure for .NET/SQL Server, OCI for Oracle.
