REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 5,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Oracle announced its
San Jose Cloud Region, marking the company's 25th Cloud
Region worldwide. The opening is part of Oracle's aggressive
plan to add 11 Cloud Regions by July
21, bringing its total to 36. Now, North American customers
and partners on the west coast have regional access to all of the
company's cloud services, including Oracle Autonomous Database and
Oracle Autonomous Linux, as well as Oracle Cloud Applications to
unlock innovation and securely protect their applications and data.
The San Jose site also houses the
sixth multi-cloud interconnection between Oracle and Microsoft Azure. These
interconnects enable customers to run their mission-critical
workloads across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Azure
seamlessly.
"We're doubling-down on our global expansion and rapidly scaling
our public cloud around the world to meet growing customer demand,"
said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice
president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Enterprises need fully
independent Cloud Regions in multiple sites and in-country, to meet
data residency requirements and to safeguard disaster recovery
measures."
Oracle opened eight Cloud
Regions in 2020 and currently operates 25 regions globally - 19
commercial and six government - the fastest expansion by any major
cloud provider. To help customers build true business
continuity and disaster protection while meeting in-country data
residence requirements, Oracle
plans to establish at least two regions in almost every country
where it operates. The U.S., Canada, E.U., South
Korea, Japan, India and Australia already have two Cloud Regions.
Upcoming Cloud Regions include second regions in the U.K.,
Brazil, U.A.E, and Saudi Arabia, additional E.U. regions in
Italy, Sweden, and France; as well as new regions in Chile, Singapore, South
Africa, and Israel.

Phoenix, Ashburn, Toronto, Montreal, São Paolo
