Oracle launches data centre in Singapore for cloud customers

"The enterprise cloud is helping businesses find efficiency and productivity gains through scalable, agile software solutions. The new data centre in Singapore underscores Oracle's ongoing commitment to offering cloud solutions to our customers. Locating the data centre here will help customers to enjoy the benefits of the Oracle Cloud, while continuing to meet Government regulatory requirements and help to ensure sovereignty of sensitive data," said Leslie Ong, Managing Director, Oracle Singapore.

The new facilities use Oracle Engineered Systems including Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, the company's flagship engineered system for running business applications and the Oracle Exadata Database In-Memory Machine, which is ideal for high-end OLTP, large data warehouses, and database clouds.  As key components of Oracle's Cloud platform, these systems provide customers and partners with a high-performance, reliable, elastic, and secure infrastructure for their critical business applications.

"We are going to lead in the cloud space in Asia Pacific. This new Singapore data centre is our latest data centre investment in the fast-growing Asia Pacific market, where demand is strong for cloud-based solutions. With our next-generation Oracle Fusion applications including human capital management, sales and marketing to enterprise resource planning now available on a hosted, subscription-based model, we are giving our customers the time-to-value and ease-of-use flexibility they've been asking for'', said Yen Yen Tan, Senior Vice President, Applications Sales, Asia Pacific, Oracle Corporation.
