Snowflake and Oracle Expand OCI Partnership

Snowflake and Oracle announced an expanded partnership on October 27, 2026, to offer Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). When available, the service is planned as a native, first-party OCI offering, with customers purchasing from Oracle and receiving bills through OCI. Snowflake and Oracle say the arrangement is intended to bring AI, analytics, data engineering, transactions, applications and collaboration closer to enterprise data in Oracle databases, applications and OCI services.

The planned service is intended to connect data from Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, including ERP, HCM and SCM, Oracle NetSuite, Oracle databases and other enterprise sources. Planned database integrations include cloud-hosted Oracle Database, Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave and Oracle NoSQL Database. Snowflake also plans data engineering and ingestion capabilities, role-based access controls and data access policies to govern information made available for analysis.

Snowflake and Oracle outlined potential uses in four sectors, while noting the examples may not reflect functionality at launch. In healthcare, connected clinical, claims and payment data could help identify drivers of claim denials, prioritize billing issues and recover unpaid revenue. In manufacturing, linking equipment and production data with orders, inventory and supplier information could help assess delivery and revenue exposure if a production line stops. In retail, combining sales and demand signals with inventory could identify stockout and excess-stock risks and guide replenishment, transfers and markdowns. In finance, connecting overdue receivables with delivery, dispute and customer data could help explain payment delays and prioritize collections.

Customers are planned to contract directly with Oracle, use Oracle Universal Credits, provision accounts through the OCI control plane and access the service through an integrated OCI experience. After provisioning, they would manage warehouses, databases, data pipelines and access controls using Snowflake capabilities. Snowflake says running the service on OCI could place data and AI workloads closer to Oracle data hosted there, potentially reducing cross-cloud data movement and related egress costs.

The offering is planned to support Snowflake cross-cloud data sharing, replication, failover and interoperability with accounts on other supported clouds and regions, subject to technical validation and availability. Customers could manage the OCI account within an existing Snowflake organization or add supported accounts to an organization created with it. Snowflake says the announcement describes planned offerings, not a commitment to deliver them; actual products may differ and face known and unknown risks.
