Question 1
IntermediateIntroduction to Multicloud · Common multicloud use cases in OCI
A multinational financial institution is designing a split-stack architecture. The application tier resides in Microsoft Azure East US, and the database tier requires Oracle Exadata performance. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) mandates that the network latency between the application and database must be consistently below 2 milliseconds to support high-frequency trading algorithms. Which multicloud solution meets this strict latency requirement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Oracle Database@Azure places the Exadata hardware physically within the Microsoft Azure data centers. This colocation eliminates the cross-cloud network hop required by the Interconnect or Cloud@Customer solutions, effectively treating the database as a local resource within the Azure VNet, thereby guaranteeing the sub-2ms latency required for high-frequency trading. While Oracle Interconnect provides low latency (typically <2ms), it physically traverses between data centers, which introduces slightly more jitter than the collocated Database@Azure solution.
