Oracle opens UK data centre

Facility marks the latest milestone in Oracle’s provision of cloud services in the UK.

Oracle has announced the opening of a new data centre to support the growing demand for cloud-based services in the UK.

The new facility will be used to support the UK Government’s G-Cloud initiative.

The data centre is dedicated to supporting the provision of cloud services to the UK government, including services procured via the G-Cloud Framework and CloudStore catalog in which Oracle is a supplier.

The data centre will be compliant with the IL3 (Business Impact Level 3) information assurance standard stipulated as a requirement for the use of cloud services by a number of government departments.

The facility will also be available to a community of ISVs – many of whom are UK small businesses – to use Oracle’s data centre to provide their cloud applications and services to government at IL3.

The opening of the facility will create new jobs in the Thames Valley.

Oracle Cloud is the most comprehensive cloud in the world being used each day by more than 25 million users and more than 10,000 organisations.
