AUSTIN, Texas, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To support
growing customer demand for cloud services in Brazil, Oracle today announced the opening of
the Vinhedo Cloud region. This follows the launch of its São Paulo
Cloud region last year, making Brazil Oracle's latest country
offering dual cloud regions. The opening marks Oracle's
30th Cloud region worldwide and is part of Oracle's
global plan to operate 38 Cloud regions by the end of 2021. The
digital transformation efforts in Brazil have been accelerated by the global
pandemic and Oracle is working with organizations across
Brazil to help them move to the
cloud securely and in compliance with data sovereignty
regulations.
"We're thrilled to open Oracle's Vinhedo Cloud region as our
second region in Brazil. Part of our strategy has been to
build a true disaster recovery solution with two regions to help
our customers bring their most critical workloads to Oracle Cloud,"
said Scott Twaddle, vice president,
product, industries and partnerships, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
"With the Vinhedo Cloud region, customers across South and
Latin America are able to move to
the cloud faster and build resilient workloads that meet data
sovereignty requirements and keep their data or metadata within
borders."
Oracle continues to make significant investments in Brazil to support a fast-growing number of
customers and partners. Today's news follows the recent
announcement that Oracle and Microsoft expanded their cloud
interoperability partnership to help joint customers worldwide,
like TIM Brasil, run their mission-critical workloads across Oracle
Cloud and Microsoft Azure. The planned Interconnect location in
Brazil means enterprises can build
workloads that seamlessly interoperate between Microsoft and Oracle
cloud regions in Brazil.
Oracle has a unique dual-region cloud strategy that enables
customers to deploy resilient applications in multiple
geographically separated locations for disaster recovery and
compliance requirements—without having sensitive data leave the
country. Oracle is the only major cloud provider with dual cloud
regions in Brazil, enabling
organizations to run their mission-critical workloads in Oracle
Cloud.
The new cloud region will deliver Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
services, including Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Container
Engine for Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud VMware solution, and Oracle
Cloud Applications services. It will also provide multiple benefits
to customers, especially to those in highly regulated industries
with restrictions on servers outside the national territory.
Oracle is also working to drive renewable energy adoption,
improve water efficiency and attain environmental certifications.
Oracle Cloud offers customers the opportunity to drive business
value and reduce their environmental impact, from Oracle's sourcing
of materials and renewable energy to cloud features like flexible
compute, which enable customers to precisely match the resources
they provide to workload needs in a granular way, which reduces
their resource consumption and costs.
Customers and Partners Benefit from the Vinhedo Cloud
Region
Oracle is helping companies of all sizes and sectors accelerate
their journey to the cloud, such as TIM Brasil and SKY, providing
them with maximum control and a high level of data security. The
Vinhedo Cloud Region provides continuous availability of up to
99.995%, helping ensure no interruptions. In addition, the move to
the Vinhedo Cloud Region helps security-focused enterprises that
need to help address demanding data residency requirements, as well
as, reducing operational costs and modernizing legacy
applications.
TIM Brasil is one of the largest telecommunications carriers in
the world and recently migrated 100 percent of its data centers in
line with the company's strategic plan, which involves digitizing
all processes, including service and relationship platforms.
In partnership with Oracle and Microsoft, TIM Brasil is working
to improve customer service processes, internal operations,
billing, collection and management of digital platforms with speed,
scalability and security, in a project that combines innovation,
sustainability and efficiency.
"Our proposal is to take the customer experience to a new level,
with more efficiency and agility, always with the highest levels of
security. We are the first operator to promote a change of this
dimension, also anticipating initiatives related to governance and
sustainability, within a larger project, related to an ESG agenda
that permeates all of TIM's operations. We are following the market
movement and investing in areas such as analytics and digital,
which are fundamental for the expansion of the company's business,
and we have partners that meet the highest levels of quality to
highlight our pioneering spirit and reference for the
telecommunications sector," said Pietro
Labriola, CEO, TIM Brasil.
SKY's digital transformation journey began in 2018, when the
satellite TV operator chose to use Oracle Autonomous Database to
perform automated analyses in real time with agility and security,
bringing more value to their customers. SKY plans to migrate 80
percent of its data centers to the Oracle Cloud later this
year.
According to André Nazaré, Director of Infrastructure and IT at
SKY, "We need to have the convenience of experimenting with
products to develop new solutions. With OCI, we will have the
opportunity to innovate, test and create new offers."
