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

Oracle Database@AWS High Performance Networking

Oracle Database@AWS (ODB@AWS) has introduced high performance networking, providing consistent sub-millisecond roundtrip latency from AWS applications to the database. This feature is crucial for latency-sensitive applications such as payment processing, securities trading, and high volume transaction processing.

ODB@AWS automatically delivers predictable low-latency network connectivity from Amazon EC2 instances to ODB@AWS databases through optimized placement of compute instances. Customers can launch placement-optimized Amazon EC2 instances with consistent, sub-millisecond latency network connectivity to their databases using existing Amazon EC2 APIs and workflows.

There is no additional charge for EC2 instances using optimized placement for connectivity to ODB@AWS databases. The feature is currently available in the following AWS Regions:

• US-East-2 (Ohio)
• CA-Central-1 (Canada Central)
• EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt)
• EU-West-1 (Dublin)
• AP-Northeast-1 (Tokyo)
• AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney)

More Regions will be added soon.

What to do

• Launch placement-optimized Amazon EC2 instances using existing EC2 APIs and workflows.
• Reserve compute capacity with EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations.
• Monitor the announcement for updates on additional AWS Regions.
