Globally Distributed Database

Oracle Globally Distributed Database is a single logical database that automatically distributes and replicates data across various nodes, regions, and countries. It helps organizations build always-on architectures and achieve high performance while addressing data residency requirements. Applications can use Oracle Database’s AI and converged capabilities, strong consistency, and full SQL support without code changes. Globally Distributed Database is available as automated services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), as well as part of multicloud and on-premises Oracle Database deployments.

Raft-Based Replication in Globally Distributed Database (2:50)

Why choose Oracle Globally Distributed Database?

Always-on architectures

Enable rapid failover within seconds and help eliminate data loss during outages with Raft replication and an Active-Active-Active distributed database architecture that’s designed for mission-critical applications.


Performance and scale

Reduce performance bottlenecks with independent and granularly scaled database compute, storage capacity, and data ingest rates for AI, transaction processing, and analytics.

Address data residency requirements

Help meet data residency requirements by implementing automated data distribution and access policies for data, replicas, backups, and encryption keys based on geography.

Simple to use and manage

All shards are presented to an application and administered as a single logical database, simplifying application development and database administration. Oracle Database workloads and data types that are supported include relational, AI vector, JSON, Graph, and Spatial.

More data distribution and replication methods

Choose from more data distribution and replication methods than other leading distributed databases to more easily address diverse application and business requirements.

Deploy in the cloud and your data center

Use Globally Distributed Autonomous Database and Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure in OCI, Oracle Database services on OCI in multicloud environments, and Oracle Database Enterprise Edition in customer data centers.

Globally Distributed Database features Automated data distribution Automate sharding and resharding of data

Six data distribution methods enable applications to optimally collocate data to address needs for low latency, high performance, extreme availability, data residency, and other criteria.

Features Elastic scalability Scale online, on demand

Handle peak workloads for agentic AI and hyperscale OLTP performance by scaling compute, memory, and storage independently on Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure.

Features Centralized administration Centrally manage and monitor sharded databases as a single logical database

A built-in shard catalog allows all shards in Globally Distributed Database be managed as a single, logical database. Cloud services implement centralized administration through the cloud console.

Centralized features Automated application routing Simplify application development and deployment

Oracle Globally Distributed Database is natively supported by Oracle Database client drivers. Developers can treat Globally Distributed Database as a single logical database, simplifying application development.

Features High availability Minimize unplanned or planned downtime

Oracle Globally Distributed Database helps protect against unplanned outages and provides online mechanisms for planned administrative and maintenance operations, enabling applications to offer always-on availability.

Features Globally Distributed Database deployment options Autonomous Database A fully automated distributed database

Oracle Globally Distributed Autonomous Database combines the shared-nothing scalability, data locality management, and extreme availability of a distributed database with the full automation of Oracle Autonomous Database. It helps customers meet data residency requirements, provide survivability for business-critical applications, and deliver cloud-scale database performance.



Resources:

Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure Fast, efficient, and affordable

Oracle Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure delivers extreme availability, performance, and scalability for any type of Oracle Database workload. Each location uses pools of shared database-optimized compute and storage resources that enable performance scaling without copying data. It lets organizations minimize costs with small—yet powerful—configurations, granular elastic scaling, and pay-per-use economics.


Resources:

Additional Oracle Database services on OCI Use cloud applications with distributed databases

Oracle Databases on OCI offer built-in access to globally distributed database capabilities. Existing Oracle Database applications can start using a distributed database without modifications. Consumption of database server licenses can be scaled up or down at any time without downtime, enabling users to optimize performance while reducing costs.


Multicloud architecture Distribute across clouds

Use Globally Distributed Database capabilities built into Oracle Database Enterprise Edition wherever it’s deployed. Deploy databases that span OCI, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to expand beyond the boundaries of any single cloud.


Hybrid architecture Distribute across clouds and your data center

Use Globally Distributed Database capabilities built into Oracle Database Enterprise Edition wherever it’s deployed. Deploy databases that span OCI, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and your data centers to deploy closer to customers or in locations without cloud data centers.


On-premises A fully distributed database in your data center

Keep your data in your data center to help you meet data residency mandates, network latency, or high-throughput ingest requirements. Oracle Globally Distributed Database can be deployed on self-managed platforms or on Oracle-managed Exadata Cloud@Customer infrastructure wherever you need it.

Oracle offers the following choices for on-premises deployments of Globally Distributed Database:

What industry analysts are saying about Oracle Globally Distributed Database

“With the introduction of built-in RAFT-based replication, the new release brings the concept of database sharding to a new level of scalability and performance. A global, hyperscale database that is distributed and replicated across multiple geographical locations in real time is now a reality—and the data within it can be transparently localized according to complex rules.”

Alexei Balaganski
Lead Analyst and Chief Technology Officer, KuppingerCole Analysts


“Deploying successful agents with transactional systems is hard. With its scaling capacity, Oracle Globally Distributed Database on Exascale gives enterprises the capacity headroom so they can be confident they can scale in the AI era.”

Holger Mueller
Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research
