Austin, Texas—March 18, 2025—Oracle today made waves in the tech industry with two significant announcements that promise to enhance the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and programming: the launch of NVIDIA AI Enterprise on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and the release of Java 24, the latest version of the world’s leading programming language.
With the new integration of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Oracle aims to provide an end-to-end cloud-native platform that enables customers to streamline their development and deployment of production-ready AI applications. This service will be available anywhere within OCI’s distributed cloud, allowing users to easily access 160+ AI tools for both training and inference.
Karan Batta, senior vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, emphasized the importance of quick deployment for customers, stating, "We want our customers to be able to develop and deploy their AI solutions on OCI in the quickest way possible." This initiative not only reduces deployment time but also offers direct billing and customer support through the OCI Console, a significant advantage over other NVIDIA offerings.
NVIDIA AI Enterprise will facilitate the localization and scalability of AI applications across various platforms, ensuring that organizations effectively meet security and regulatory requirements. Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise Software Products at NVIDIA, added, "NVIDIA AI Enterprise provides the building blocks for developers creating modern AI applications."
In conjunction with announcing the AI capabilities, Oracle also unveiled Java 24, which introduces 24 new JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) designed to maximize developer productivity and improve performance, stability, and security. The new Java version addresses the evolving needs of developers, especially in building AI-powered applications.
Arnal Dayaratna, research vice president at IDC, highlighted the broader implications of Java 24, stating, "The wide range of capabilities in the new release will help increase developers’ productivity, enabling them to deliver feature-rich applications to their organizations and customers faster and more efficiently."
Among the notable enhancements in Java 24 are JEP 488, which improves pattern matching by allowing the use of primitive types in various programming constructs, and JEP 492, which introduces flexible constructor bodies to enhance code reliability. Georges Saab, senior vice president at Oracle Java Platform, summarized the shift, noting, "With more than 20 new features, the Java 24 release gives developers the tools they need to build innovative, AI-infused applications."
The release was officially timed to coincide with the JavaOne 2025 conference held from March 18 to 20 in Redwood Shores, California, making it a focal point for discussions surrounding AI and programming enhancements. Developers participating in the event can expect deeper insights into Java 24’s new features, particularly those geared towards AI applications.
Furthermore, features such as Stream Gatherers, which enhance the Java Stream API, provide greater control over data transformations, and scoped values for multithreaded data sharing will further enhance the Java experience. Frank Greco, chairman of NYJavaSIG, expressed excitement for the enhancements, particularly regarding AI applications, stating, "I’m looking forward to the additional refinement of the Java Vector API in Java 24 to further enhance both predictive and generative AI applications."
The implications of these technological advancements are significant not only for Oracle but also for enterprises leveraging these tools to innovate. For instance, Nomura Research Institute is utilizing Oracle Alloy in Tokyo and Osaka datacenters while deploying NVIDIA AI Enterprise to enhance its services in a sovereign environment.
Meanwhile, e& UAE, which serves over 13 million customers, has harnessed NVIDIA Hopper GPU clusters within its OCI Dedicated Region to push generative AI services. Hazem Gebili, senior vice president of Enterprise Service Solutions at e& UAE, remarked, "The strategic collaboration with Oracle and NVIDIA enables us to accelerate our sovereign AI initiatives, empowering us to develop and deploy cutting-edge AI services tailored for government, enterprise, and smart city applications."
As these advancements shape the future landscape of AI and software development, enterprises are urged to consider the benefits of integrating both NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Java 24 into their operational frameworks. The collaborative innovation between Oracle and NVIDIA demonstrates a strong commitment to driving industry standards and meeting the increasing demands for AI solutions.
With the ability to address both AI application development and programming challenges comprehensively, Oracle reaffirms its commitment to enhancing enterprise solutions through cloud innovation and providing developers with the tools needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving landscape.
