Oracle Database@AWS launches sub-millisecond network latency for high performance applications

Today,Oracle Database@AWS (ODB@AWS) announced high performance networking that provides customers consistent sub-millisecond roundtrip latency from their AWS applications to the database. Many applications such as payment processing, securities trading, and high volume transaction processing require predictable and consistent low-latency network connectivity to the application database. Customers who run such latency-sensitive applications on Oracle Exadata systems on-premises optimize their infrastructure to obtain the performance that these applications require. With high performance networking for ODB@AWS, customers can now seamlessly migrate these applications to an equivalent optimized environment on AWS.

ODB@AWS automatically provides consistent and predictable low-latency network connectivity from Amazon EC2 instances to ODB@AWS databases through optimized placement of compute instances. When customers create an ODB@AWS network for their databases, they can now launch placement optimized Amazon EC2 instances with consistent, sub-millisecond latency network connectivity to their databases using existing Amazon EC2 APIs and workflows, such as launching new EC2 instances, or reserving compute capacity with EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations. There is no additional charge for EC2 instances using optimized placement for connectivity to ODB@AWS databases.

The feature is available in the US-East-2 (Ohio), CA-Central-1 (Canada Central), EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt), EU-West-1 (Dublin), AP-Northeast-1 (Tokyo), and AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney) AWS Regions, with more Regions coming soon.
