Applications , ECEMEA , Oracle
Oracle has 10,000 + customers globally using the latest version of its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure , OCI . Oracle is enabling enterprises to adopt cloud by giving them the choice of how to adopt cloud , either on-premises , hybrid , or as full cloud models . In the region , Oracle has established its public cloud regions in UAE , Saudi Arabia , South Africa and Israel .
The decision on how to expand further , that is whether to support a public or a private Oracle cloud region , depends on each country in the region . In Qatar , Oracle has already implemented a private cloud region for the government and in Oman it has implemented two private cloud regions , also for the government .
In UAE , American Hospital , EHS , First Abu Dhabi Bank , Abu Dhabi Customs , Khalifa University ; and in Saudi Arabia Alkhorayef Petroleum and Ministry of Foreign Affairs ; are some of the latest Oracle regional customer references . The implementation of Oracle Dedicated Region at e & will also be used as a global flagship reference .
The regional adoption of cloud is mostly for Oracle Fusion Cloud suite of horizontal solutions including back-office ERP , EPM , supply chain , HCM and for front-office CX .
OCI Dedicated Region offers the same set of services available in Oracle ’ s public cloud regions . OCI Dedicated Region is also
certified to run Oracle SaaS products like ERP , Financials , HCM , and SCM , making it the only solution to offer a completely integrated cloud experience for IaaS , PaaS , and SaaS software on-premises .
Customers can use these services for lift and shift scenarios , or for incrementally upgrading legacy applications using modern cloud primitives while continuing to meet demanding performance and compliance goals .
OCI Dedicated Region offers the exact same SLAs for availability , manageability , and performance as a single Availability Domain in an Oracle public cloud region . Site planning , power , space , networking , is required to ensure proper installation and deployment of an OCI Dedicated Region .
OCI Dedicated Region is a fully managed service from Oracle including hardware , software , cloud services , support . There is no need for a separate capital purchase , hardware software integration . p
“ We are seeing exponential growth in every industry , but I want to highlight two industries ,” says Leopoldo Boado Lama , Senior Vice President , Business Applications , ECEMEA , Oracle . Across the Gulf region , the government and banking and finance customer segments are the fastest adopters of the Oracle Cloud platform .
Dedicated cloud regions
OCI Dedicated Region , also known as Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud @ Customer comprises all Oracle cloud services , IaaS , PaaS , SaaS for deployment in one or more physical locations chosen by the customer . Customers retain control of their data and applications to meet the security , regulatory , low latency , and data residency requirements . OCI Dedicated Region brings price-performance and security to mission-critical workloads that are unlikely to move to the public cloud for several years .
