Oracle OpenWorld London—12 February 2020
Oracle today revealed the major progress it is making on its rapid Generation 2 Cloud region expansion plans unveiled in September 2019. Five new cloud regions went live in early February (in Australia, Canada, Japan, Netherlands and Saudi Arabia) bringing the number of Gen 2 Cloud regions live to 21.
In Europe and the Middle East, the Amsterdam Cloud region represents the fourth independent region. There are now a pair of regions in Amsterdam and Frankfurt that give companies and multinational organizations options to conduct business effectively while navigating the compliance hurdles that guide their day-to-day operations. There are currently two regions in the UK, one for commercial use and one for government, as well as a commercial region in Zurich.
Oracle remains on track to meet its goal of 36 Gen 2 Cloud regions available by the end of 2020. The plan is to put a minimum of two regions in almost every country where Oracle operates, and these new regions mark a big step toward this goal. Along with the UK, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, India, and Brazil will also have two regions live by the end of 2020. The US, Japan, Australia, and Canada already have two regions.
To run critical systems of record in the cloud, customers need to run workloads across fully independent cloud regions for disaster recovery purposes. They also need multiple sites in the same country to meet data residency requirements.
Andrew Sutherland who leads Oracle’s Gen 2 Cloud in Europe said: “This Cloud region expansion reflects our determination to meet our customers’ needs for enterprise-grade cloud. As organisations begin to move large-scale critical workloads to the cloud, they are demanding a secure and interoperable cloud environment which can support their databases and applications. They want, quite rightly, security baked in from the start, and that’s exactly what we have with Oracle Gen 2 Cloud regions.”
Oracle also announced [link to press release] the unique multi cloud interconnection between Oracle and Microsoft Azure will be added in Amsterdam. This joins the preconfigured, high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect locations between Oracle and Microsoft cloud regions already available in the Eastern United States, London, and Toronto.
The Oracle Cloud offers a complete suite of integrated applications for Sales, Service, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Supply Chain and Manufacturing, plus Highly Automated and Secure Generation 2 Infrastructure featuring the Oracle Autonomous Database.
