Oracle GoldenGate Product Management is happy to announce free GoldenGate software licenses and support on OCI Marketplace. This promotional offer is valid for a limited period of time for existing Oracle Cloud customers who have already trusted and invested in Oracle Cloud and also to new customers who are planning to migrate data to Oracle Cloud in the next many months. GoldenGate Software must be deployed using OCI Marketplace image and you will need to pay for only the basic OCI infrastructure costs (i.e. Compute, Storage, Network, etc).

Thomas Vengal, Director of Product Management for Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud products, explained that you can receive a free software license and support offer for any of the following three options:

  1. 30 days of free trial (no support for free trials)
  2. If you had an active entitlement for Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits Cloud Services as of May 31, 2019, then you are entitled to use limited use term license and receive technical support through December 31, 2020. This is also applicable to customers who have purchased GoldenGate Cloud Service (GGCS), Data Integration Platform Cloud (DIPC) prior to June 1, 2019.
  3. If you are going to replicate data into an Oracle Cloud Service (including Autonomous Datawarehouse Cloud, Autonomous Transaction Processing, Exadata cloud service, Virtual Machine Exadata Cloud Service, Bare Metal Database Cloud Service, Oracle Big Data Cloud Service) using PaaS or IaaS Universal Credits Service, then you are entitled to use term license along with technical support services through May 31, 2020.
