\u200b<\/span>Oracle<\/a> is expanding its cloud data centre footprint in a bid to draw in customers by providing them with data sovereignty.<\/p>\n

The corporation announced on Monday that it has successfully added cloud data centres in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and has expanded on existing centres in Japan, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

This falls into Oracle\u2019s plan to open 36 locations by the end of 2020, which it hopes will\u00a0broaden its target audience. In the UK, it is scheduled to open a cloud data centre in Newport, Wales, as well as a public sector facility in London.<\/p>\n

In comparison, AWS<\/a> plans to add five more regions and 16 availability zones. It currently holds 22 regions and 69 zones.<\/p>\n

Oracle aims to have data centres in at least two physically separate locations (or \u201cavailability zones\u201d) in each country where it operates \u2013 one primary location and one as a backup. This means that the newly added cloud data centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, will be joined by a second location this year, while new regions in Osaka, Melbourne, Montreal, and Amsterdam, are all functioning as a second sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers have told us that to run critical systems of record in the cloud, they need to run workloads across fully independent cloud regions for disaster recovery purposes,\u201d Oracle\u2019s director of product management Andrew Reichman explained in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also told us that those multiple sites must be in the same country to meet data residency requirements,\u201d he wrote, referring to the data privacy regulations, such as those recently introduced by the European Union, which obligate many businesses to retain data in the country where it was generated.<\/p>\n

The data centres are part of the second generation of Oracle\u2019s cloud systems, allowing customers to rent their capacity. The company\u2019s focus to expand its range of cloud data centre locations comes after its CEO pledged that Oracle\u2019s cloud system is uniquely positioned to help businesses overcome challenges.<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
