Infrastructure's footprint in Japan

requirements
AUSTIN,
Texas and TOKYO,
April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corporation Japan today
announced that it plans to invest more than $8 billion over the next 10 years to meet the
growing demand for cloud computing and AI infrastructure in
Japan. The investment will grow
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's (OCI) footprint across Japan. In addition, to help customers and
partners address the digital sovereignty requirements in
Japan, Oracle will significantly
expand its operations and support engineering teams with
Japan-based personnel.
"We are dedicated to meeting our customers and partners where
they are in their cloud journey," said Toshimitsu Misawa, member of the board,
corporate executive officer and president, Oracle Corporation
Japan. "By growing our cloud footprint and providing a team to
support sovereign operations in Japan, we are giving our customers and
partners the opportunity to innovate with AI and other cloud
services while supporting their regulatory and sovereignty
requirements."
Oracle plans to increase local customer support of its public
cloud regions in Tokyo and
Osaka and its local operations
teams for Oracle Alloy and OCI Dedicated Region. This will enable
governments and businesses across Japan to continue to move their
mission-critical workloads to the Oracle Cloud and embrace
sovereign AI solutions. Oracle sovereign cloud and AI services can
be delivered securely within a country's borders or an
organization's premises with a range of operational controls.
Oracle is the only hyperscaler capable of delivering AI and a full
suite of 100+ cloud services locally, anywhere.
