Riverbed Data Express Expands Multi-Cloud Data Movement with Expanded OCI, AWS, and Azure Support

Organizations today are managing data across more cloud environments than ever before. Whether driven by AI initiatives, cloud cost optimization, disaster recovery strategies, or application modernization projects, the need to move data quickly, securely, and predictably between cloud platforms has become a business imperative.

We are excited to announce significant expansion of Riverbed Data Express capabilities, extending support for a broader range of cloud-to-cloud migration and replication scenarios. In addition, Riverbed Data Express is now available through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, providing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) customers with an easy way to discover and deploy Data Express as part of their cloud data mobility strategy. This is in addition to a free trial without even the need of a credit card.

Expanding Data Mobility Across Leading Cloud Platforms

Data Express has been designed to simplify large-scale data movement while maximizing throughput and minimizing transfer times. With this latest expansion, organizations can now move data across a wider range of cloud environments, including:

OCI Regional Data Movement

For organizations operating across multiple OCI regions, tenants, or business units, Data Express now supports OCI-to-OCI regional transfers. This capability helps teams:

• Accelerate region-to-region migrations
• Support disaster recovery planning
• Consolidate storage environments
• Enable data placement closer to applications and users

All global OCI regions are available for service, enabling large data movement for projects such as Singapore to US-East, UAE to Frankfurt, with consistent performance, secure data transfers and enterprise-grade controls. Whether you’re expanding globally or modernizing existing infrastructure, OCI-to-OCI transfers become faster and easier.

AWS Regional Data Movement

As AWS deployments grow, organizations frequently need to move data between accounts, regions, or storage architectures. With AWS-to-AWS regional transfer support, Data Express enables:

• Cross-region data migration
• Storage consolidation projects
• Backup and recovery workflows
• Data relocation for compliance and governance requirements

Large-scale object transfers can now be completed with greater speed and operational efficiency.

For AWS data movement operations available across the globe, Data Express brings the benefit of high-rate transfers across the AWS backbone, with reduced inter-regional charges vs other approaches through accelerated data movement capabilities

AWS ↔ OCI

Multi-cloud is no longer an exception. It is rapidly becoming the norm. Data Express now supports bi-directional transfers between:

AWS to OCI and OCI to AWS

This capability enables organizations to:

• Migrate workloads from AWS to  Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or vice-versa
• Replicate data across cloud providers
• Support hybrid and multi-cloud architectures
• Optimize cloud spending by placing data where it delivers the most value
• Build AI and analytics pipelines that span multiple cloud ecosystems

By eliminating barriers between AWS and OCI storage environments, enterprises gain the flexibility to choose the right cloud for every workload.

The AWS to OCI data movement service utilizes high-speed interconnections with reduced inter-connect data transfer charges. Data transfer rates of up to 50 TB/hour, yielding more than 1PB per day are available for AWS to/from OCI data movements, making large data transfers a routine operation for large scale AI or business operations. The service is available immediately for US locations and can be activated for any global region within a short window upon request.

Azure Regional Data Movement

Microsoft Azure customers can now take advantage of Azure-to-Azure data mobility capabilities for:

• Regional migrations
• Storage modernization projects
• Business continuity planning
• Environment consolidation

As Azure footprints expand, Data Express helps ensure data can move efficiently without creating operational bottlenecks.

Why This Matters

Data is the foundation of modern digital initiatives but moving it at scale remains one of the biggest challenges facing IT teams. Traditional transfer methods often struggle with:

• Long migration windows
• Network inefficiencies
• Operational complexity
• Rising egress and infrastructure costs
• Risk of business disruption

Data Express addresses these challenges by providing high-performance data movement designed for enterprise-scale cloud environments.

The result is faster migrations, reduced project risk, and greater flexibility in how organizations manage their cloud strategies.

Now Available on Oracle Cloud Marketplace

To make adoption even easier, Riverbed Data Express is now available through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, Oracle’s trusted destination for discovering and deploying partner solutions for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers.

Availability through Oracle Cloud Marketplace helps customers:

• Easily discover Data Express within the OCI ecosystem
• Accelerate deployment and evaluation
• Integrate data mobility into OCI migration strategies
• Simplify procurement and cloud solution adoption through Private Offer purchases

Looking Ahead

As organizations continue embracing multi-cloud architectures, the ability to move data seamlessly between providers becomes increasingly critical. With expanded support for OCI, AWS and Azure environments, Riverbed Data Express delivers the flexibility enterprises need to migrate, replicate, and manage data wherever business requirements demand.

From OCI-to-OCI, AWS-to-AWS, AWS-to-OCI, OCI-to-AWS, and Azure-to-Azure workflows, Data Express is helping organizations accelerate their cloud journeys while reducing complexity and risk.

The future of cloud is multi-cloud, and Data Express is making that future easier to navigate. Click here to learn more about Data Express or try it for free.
