Oracle Gen 2 data centre opens in Mumbai with 100 customers

MUMBAI: In a fillip to the Indian government’s demand from the global tech firms to store data locally and keep it extra secure, Oracle on Friday made its modern, secure and enterprise-grade Gen 2 Cloud region available for the existing and new customers in the country.

Over 100 enterprise customers in the country have already moved their workloads onto the Gen 2 Cloud data centre here, which is being run solely by Oracle without any third-party involvement.

The Cloud major also announced plans to open another Gen 2 Cloud data centre in Hyderabad next year.

“These two new cloud regions signify Oracle’s commitment to India, as the country looks to nearly double the size of its economy by 2025,” said Philippe Mathieu, Executive Vice President, Oracle EMEA and JAPAC.
