NEOM Selects Oracle to Create IT Infrastructure

NEOM Tech & Digital Company, the operator of NEOM smart-city project in Saudi Arabia, has selected Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer to create a scalable, agile and modern platform for all mission-critical IT workloads.

According to the agreeement, NEOM will be able to access Oracle’s portfolio of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) public cloud services and Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to address local data residency and latency requirements and reduce operating costs for its 36MW ZeroPoint DC data centre.

The Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer has been designed to address demanding data residency and privacy requirements and, with this, we can focus on ensuring our customers can run a self-contained region where all hosted data remain local to that region. This makes Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer the perfect framework to support NEOM to achieve its vision,

said Richard Smith, executive vice president – Technology, EMEA, Oracle.

Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer is a self-contained cloud region that provides all the benefits of the public cloud without hosted customer data ever having to leave the NEOM data centre.
