Oracle has announced a ‘dual-region Government Cloud’, private cloud infrastructure for the UK government.
The dual-region cloud consists of two data centres for disaster recovery purposes – an existing facility in London plus a new one in Newport, Wales – connected by an Oracle-owned high speed network.
It expands on the company’s existing UK Government Cloud Region, by allowing data to move between the two regions, and includes services such Autonomous Database, Kubernetes, OCI services and Fusion Cloud apps as well as storage.
Oracle senior vice president Richard Petley said that the dual clouds will mean all Oracle’s customers across the UK can get their paws on Oracle’s second-generation cloud.
“This is a completely unique offering to the UK government – no other cloud provider offers the sovereignty and performance we are announcing today.”
