Oracle has unveiled Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated, a secure, sovereign compute cloud service that can be disconnected from the internet, providing governments and regulated industries the required level of security and control for confidential data.
For governments, ministries of defence, intelligence agencies, and telecommunications and healthcare organisations, Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated is designed to help minimise risks of attacks, adhere to stringent regulations, and support national security.
“Protecting national security has always been a top priority for Oracle,” said Oracle’s Matt Leonard. “Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated is designed to help regulated industries benefit from the cloud and AI, while also providing the flexibility to deploy anywhere.”
Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated delivers the same compute, storage, and networking services and tools available from Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer. It will help organisations accelerate AI innovation and improve efficiency while maintaining sovereignty of their data and the operation of the underlying infrastructure.
It can be deployed as a single rack and scaled up as needed, which enables organisations to quickly deploy OCI Compute services on-premises in isolation in locations with unique data sovereignty requirements. This empowers defence customers to quickly start their cloud migration wherever missions require support.
One option is Oracle’s Fast-Start path, which can deliver Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated on-premises in six to eight weeks while enabling customers to build out an Oracle Cloud Isolated Region for future use.
Alternatively, customers can choose a phased journey, and transition from tactical edge computing, through Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated deployments, all the way up to a hyperscale, air-gapped Oracle Cloud Isolated Region. Oracle Cloud Isolated Region is disconnected from the internet and from other clouds, providing comprehensive control and enabling the required level of data sovereignty and security for defence operations.
Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated will be available globally later this year.
