Oman Information and Communication Technology (OICT) Group, Oman Data Park, and Oracle have established Oracle’s Hyper-Scale Cloud Infrastructure Data Centre in the Sultanate.
This is the first Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the country. The new cloud infrastructure will offer a broad range of IaaS/PaaS cloud services to all entities in the public and private sectors across Oman through Oman Data Park’s certified Tier III Data Center.
According to the statement, Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a dedicated region in Oman that will allow local entities to run all of their Oracle systems on a multi-tenant cloud infrastructure with physical control over infrastructure and data, enabling them to meet the most stringent regulatory, data residency, and latency requirements.
