TIM to host Oracle's second cloud region in
Italy in its network of
datacenters
MILAN and AUSTIN,
Texas, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle and TIM
today announced a collaboration to support the increasing demand
for cloud services in Italy from
public and private sector organizations. As part of the agreement,
TIM's business unit dedicated to businesses and the public sector,
TIM Enterprise, will integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
into its portfolio. In addition, TIM will become the host partner
for Oracle's second planned cloud region in Italy, which will be located in Turin and hosted in TIM Group's reliable,
next-generation datacenter.
Part of Oracle's distributed cloud strategy, the upcoming
Oracle Cloud Turin Region will provide public and private sector
organizations access to a wide range of cloud services to migrate
all types of workloads from their data centers to OCI, modernize
their applications, and innovate with data, analytics, and AI.
Oracle is the only hyperscaler capable of delivering AI and a full
suite of 100+ cloud services across dedicated, public, and hybrid
cloud environments, anywhere in the world. This includes Oracle
Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave Database
Service, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, Oracle
Cloud VMware Solution, OCI Generative AI service, and AI
infrastructure.
With the new cloud region in Turin and the existing Oracle Cloud Milan
Region, Oracle will enable customers in Italy to both enhance their business
continuity by replicating workloads to distributed locations, while
helping address their digital sovereignty and compliance
requirements by keeping replicated data in Italy. The upcoming Turin region will be collocated in one of the
datacenters in TIM Enterprise's network of 16 datacenters in
Italy, which has been developed to
the highest technological, security, and environmental standards,
and proven to meet the requirements of public and private sector
organizations.
"We are pleased to be working with Italy's leading telecommunications provider to
bring OCI to public and private sector organizations and support
their migration to the cloud," said Richard Smith, executive vice president and
general manager, EMEA Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle. "By adding OCI
to its robust cloud service offerings, TIM Enterprise will be able
to provide a cloud platform used by customers all over the world to
run their most mission-critical workloads in the cloud. In
addition, with the upcoming second cloud region in Italy, we are reaffirming our commitment to
helping Italian organizations of all sizes and industries
accelerate the adoption of AI and other innovative
technologies."
"Our collaboration with Oracle is an important milestone for TIM
Enterprise and reinforces our commitment to providing innovative,
sustainable and secure cloud solutions to public and private sector
organizations in Italy," said
Elio Schiavo, chief enterprise &
innovative solutions officer, TIM. "Our cloud proposition is
enriched by the major global players in the industry and is a
strong foundation for our future growth in a highly strategic
sector for the country. Oracle's selection of our datacenter
network to support its new cloud region is testament to the
absolute excellence of our infrastructure, which is unique in the
Italian market in terms of its reach and performance."
As part of the agreement, TIM Enterprise will offer OCI services
to its public and private sector customers across the region,
leveraging its long-standing experience in helping customers in any
industry migrate their mission-critical workloads to the
cloud. With built-in security, superior performance, high
availability, and lower cost, these services are designed to
support mission-critical and cloud-native workloads in large public
and private sector environments.
As part of the collaboration, TIM will also use OCI to migrate
some of the Group's internal applications to the cloud.
