Oracle opens first India data centre in Mumbai

Tapping into fresh demand for storing data locally in India, software giant Oracle unveiled its first India data centre in Mumbai on Friday, which would be followed by another one in Hyderabad by early next year.

BusinessLine was the first to report in April that Oracle would be setting its data centers in India this year.

This aggressive expansion is in line with Oracle’s plans to add 20 new Gen 2 Cloud data centres globally by the end of 2020. With a stronghold in government and large enterprises, Oracle is betting on expanding rapidly in India with the help of a local data centre. Indian data centre has already become the fastest growing cloud data centre for Oracle globally even as the company officially opened it up for all customers on Friday.
