Oracle's decision to enable customers to license Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Enterprise Manager and Oracle Fusion Middleware to run in Amazon's EC2 environment is a good move for both companies. Oracle also announces the creation of a cloud-based backup solution.

Oracle is embracing cloud computing with its support for Amazon Web Services' Elastic Compute Cloud environment.

The move, announced Sept. 22 at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, will benefit both companies as enterprises look to the cloud for more services.

Right now, Oracle plans to allow customers to license Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Enterprise Manager and Oracle Fusion Middleware to run on EC2. To help enterprises deploy its products on EC2 quickly, Oracle is delivering a set of free AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) with which virtual machines can be provisioned with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Enterprise Linux.

The software vendor is also delivering a cloud-based backup solution called Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module. The backup offering allows customers to use Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) as a database backup destination. In addition, the Oracle and Amazon.com are working on solutions that will enable cost-effective, high-volume backups and restorations in environments with limited network-bandwidth by means of physical import and export, according to Oracle.
