REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 9,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle announced today the award of a
Framework Agreement for the provision of secure cloud services to
the Government of Canada. This
agreement gives Oracle's Canadian federal government customers the
ability to securely store, manage and process sensitive data and
applications in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Focused on a "cloud-first" strategy, the Government of
Canada uses cloud services as its
preferred delivery option when initiating information technology
investments, initiatives, strategies and projects. The access to
Oracle Cloud regions in Toronto
and Montreal afforded by this
agreement will help support Canadian government and affiliated
public sector entities in their digital transformation efforts.
Oracle Cloud is ideal for mission-critical workloads like
financials and other back office applications, as well as newer
workloads like simulations, machine learning, and cloud native
applications. Oracle's Canadian Cloud regions today offer Oracle
Cloud services that include Compute (CPU and GPU virtual machine
and bare metal), Storage (block, object, and archive storage,
including new immutable object storage capabilities), Oracle
Database and Oracle Exadata Cloud Services, FastConnect, Identity
and Access Management, Key Management Service, and Load
Balancer.
"This Framework Agreement for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a
critical step in meeting the growing demands and compliance
requirements of our public sector customers," said Walter Dann, Area Vice President, Oracle Public
Sector. "By achieving this milestone, we are able to help the
federal government and Canadian public sector tap into our second
generation cloud to not just keep pace, but also stay ahead of the
evolving business and technology landscape. Oracle's outstanding
price-performance, Oracle Autonomous Database, machine learning and
AI innovations along with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure secure by
design will be key to enabling our customers' enterprise workloads
in the cloud."
Oracle is pleased to work with the Government of Canada to support the evaluation of Oracle
Cloud. Working with the Government of Canada, Oracle Cloud was assessed across a
robust set of controls and global certifications including SOC and
ISO. Oracle's support of these controls and certifications assures
customers that all workloads across the government and private
sector meet a high level of assurance.
Oracle Cloud was developed with a particular focus on addressing
government cloud needs with capabilities including strong
encryption, in-depth auditing, and robust security controls and
tools. With this new agreement, the Government of
Canada now has access to a
compelling array of advanced technology, including machine
learning-enabled applications, integrated security tools, automated
analytics, and Oracle Autonomous Database.
Oracle Cloud is a second generation enterprise cloud platform
that delivers powerful compute and networking performance and
includes a comprehensive portfolio of infrastructure and platform
cloud services. With this new agreement, the Government of
Canada now has access to the only
second generation Cloud built to run Oracle Autonomous Database,
the industry's first and only self-driving database with
performance SLAs.
Today, thousands of public sector customers worldwide use
Oracle's digital solutions to transform how their constituents
engage with government. Now, these cloud services will be extended
