CASE STUDY are isolated from each other , fault tolerant , and very unlikely to fail simultaneously . meet data residency requirements . Today Oracle has 30 + cloud regions distributed globally .
Because availability domains do not share infrastructure such as power or cooling , or the internal availability domain network , a failure at one availability domain within a region is unlikely to impact the availability of the others within the same region .
UAE joins Australia , Brazil , Canada , France , India , Japan , South Korea , UK , and the US , that have two or more cloud regions inside their geographical boundaries .
Milestones and roadmap
The availability domains within the same region are connected to each other by a low latency , high bandwidth network , which makes it possible to provide highavailability connectivity to the Internet and on-premises , and to build replicated systems in multiple availability domains for both high-availability and disaster recovery .
Disaster recovery , business continuity
Both Oracle Cloud regions in the UAE are built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure , which enable customers to migrate existing workloads and data platforms or build new cloud native applications . Customers also have access to the full suite of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications , as well as Oracle Autonomous Database , giving them the opportunity and choice to create the architecture that best suits their business needs .
Inside UAE , Oracle has a dual region strategy that enables customers to deploy resilient applications in multiple geographies for disaster recovery and compliance requirements , without having sensitive data leave the country . Customers that want to run critical systems of record in the cloud need fully independent cloud regions for disaster recovery purposes with multiple sites in the same country to

The Hospital is targeting to accomplish these milestones before the end of this calendar year 2023 .
Says Romel Khalife , General Manager , UAE and Kuwait at Oracle Cerner , “ The project we are embarking on with King ’ s College Hospital London – Dubai is to move their on-premises , client-hosted technology stack onto the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in a PaaS model deployment . The same solutions along with the necessary software , management , and maintenance will come along with this as would be with remote hosting option .”
“ This is the current and near-term offering worldwide until a full SaaS model completes its full development . For King ’ s College Hospital London – Dubai and any remote hosting option clients , this will be a gradual transition over time occurring naturally as part of their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – remote hosting option service .”
