In the Middle East, Oracle’s second generation cloud regions are now live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Oracle has a unique dual region strategy that enables customers to deploy resilient applications in multiple geographies for disaster recovery and compliance requirements. Customers that want to run critical systems of record in the cloud need fully independent cloud regions for disaster recovery purposes.
As a leading provider of cloud solutions, Oracle has long supported the cloud-led digital transformation efforts of the public sector, large private corporations and mid-sized businesses in the Middle East. There are several examples of Oracle Cloud helping businesses and government organizations drive business continuity, deliver vital citizen services, enable remote working and accelerate growth.
“The Gulf, Levant and North Africa are strategic markets for Oracle as we look to accelerate the adoption of Oracle Cloud in the region by supporting our partners”, said Abiy Yeshitla, vice president, Technology, Gulf region, Oracle. “Mindware’s deep experience in developing channel partners and extensive reach across the region will further help us deliver innovative cloud solutions to customers across diverse sectors.”
