REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 8,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced that Nomura
Research Institute (NRI) has selected Oracle Dedicated Region
Cloud@Customer to run its critical, high-volume business platform
used in various industries, including financial, retail, and
distribution. NRI will start by moving its SaaS applications for
the financial industry, which are used by about 70 percent of the
capital markets firms in Japan,
from on-premises to an Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer in
its own datacenter. This will provide NRI with access to all of
Oracle's second-generation public cloud services while ensuring
control and governance because the cloud services are in NRI's own
datacenter. During NRI and Oracle's 30-year partnership, NRI has
been an early adopter of Oracle technology and is now the first
global customer to move to Oracle Dedicated Region
Cloud@Customer.
"With Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, we can use Oracle
Exadata as a cloud service and achieve greater agility, such as
seamless expansion, while maintaining high availability at the same
level as on-premises," said Tomoshiro Takemoto, Senior Corporate
Managing Director, NRI. "Built in our own datacenter, it enables us
to not only provide SOC2 reports based on Japanese security
standards in financial industries, but it also allows us to access
broader cloud services and tools provided by Oracle and further
increase our business value for our customers. With Oracle's
Dedicated Region, we can significantly reduce our on-premises costs
and invest more in our digital transformation."
"Oracle is excited to extend our strategic relationship with NRI
to modernize and support the financial services market in
Japan and globally," said
Clay Magouyrk, executive vice
president of engineering, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Only Oracle
Cloud enables customers to utilize our full-featured cloud services
anywhere, whether it's our global public cloud region portfolio or
the new dedicated regions for customers with data sovereignty,
latency, regulatory, security and compliance requirements. With the
differentiated model of our Dedicated Region, NRI will be able to
modernize and truly deliver a first-class, cloud-native experience
to their customers while meeting all of their requirements."
Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer enables customers to
build Oracle's public cloud regions in customers' own datacenters.
Customers can access all of Oracle's second-generation cloud
services, including Bare Metal Compute, VMs and GPUs, Autonomous
Database, and Exadata Cloud Service; container-based services like
Container Engine for Kubernetes; and analytics services like Data
Flow, while also having control and governance of their systems and
services. With Oracle Cloud@Customer, enterprises can seamlessly
lift and shift legacy workloads and consolidate on a single
platform, enabling them to dramatically improve TCO without
requiring re-architecture. Customers also have access to a full set
of development services, like API Gateway and Events Services that
will help them incrementally modernize their stack in-place,
reducing the risk and expense of adopting new technologies.
