Haytham Alohali, vice minister of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. This step will significantly enable international and local companies to achieve innovation and promote the adoption of AI and cloud computing technologies in various sectors, which enhances Saudi Arabia&#8217;s competitiveness at the regional and international level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith the rapid expansion of our cloud footprint in Saudi Arabia, Oracle is committed to helping the country achieve its goal of developing one of the strongest digital economies in the world,\u201d said Richard Smith, executive vice president and general manager of EMEA Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle.\u00a0\u201cAs part of our wider investment in cloud capabilities in Saudi Arabia, the Oracle Cloud Riyadh Region will help accelerate the adoption of cloud and AI technologies to boost innovation across all sectors of the Saudi economy while helping organizations address local data hosting requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OCI Provides Customers and Partners with a Resilient and Scalable Cloud Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Oracle Cloud Riyadh Region adding to the existing Oracle Cloud Jeddah Region, customers and partners can gain low-latency access to cloud services to help them derive better value from their data. Customers can also leverage high availability and backup and disaster recovery capabilities across the two regions in Saudi Arabia to enhance business continuity and help address local regulations and requirements for local data hosting. In addition, OCI\u2019s sovereign AI capabilities give customers increased control over where they locate their data and computing infrastructure and how they manage it. As a result, customers can use AI capabilities designed with the requirements of digital sovereignty frameworks in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OCI\u2019s unique cloud architecture enables Oracle to launch dedicated cloud regions with hyperscale cloud services inside customer data centers and deploy more public cloud regions faster by starting with an optimal footprint and scaling as needed. This approach helps meet the needs of all countries and markets without compromising cloud capabilities while also providing consistent performance, SLAs, and global pricing for which OCI has become known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partners and Analysts Welcome the New Public Cloud Region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are thrilled to collaborate with Oracle as they expand their cloud infrastructure in Saudi Arabia with the new Riyadh cloud region,\u201d said\u00a0Fahad Alhajeri, chief executive officer of Center3.\u00a0\u201cThis strategic initiative delivers on our shared vision of fostering technological innovation and advancing the digital economy of the Kingdom.
