In partnership with Claro, Oracle opened a hyperscale cloud region in Bogotá, Colombia.
Claro is one of the host partners for the new Oracle Cloud Bogotá Region, and through its partnership with Oracle it becomes the first telecommunications operator to offer Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services to organizations across Colombia.
The new region is Oracle's 47th public cloud region and offers Oracle Cloud's full capabilities across more than 100 OCI services and cloud applications to migrate, modernize, and innovate, including Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave Database Service, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, and AI infrastructure.
"Establishing a cloud region in Colombia is a reflection of Oracle's commitment to the country's technological development," said Germán Borromei, managing director, Oracle Colombia and Ecuador. "With the new region we are helping to accelerate the adoption of cloud solutions, democratize access to innovative technology, support the modernization of organizations, and foster their growth to help them achieve success in a competitive business environment."
"Partnering with Oracle to establish the first public cloud region in Bogotá is a major milestone in Colombia's technological evolution, as the new region will help accelerate the digital transformation of businesses nationwide – including small and medium-sized enterprises, which represent 90 percent of businesses in Colombia," said Carlos Zenteno, president, Claro Colombia. "Oracle selected our data center, certified with ICREA 5, so that organizations in Colombia and other countries like Perú, Ecuador, and Panamá gain access to innovative cloud services with low latency and high availability."
"Public cloud infrastructure, such as the new region Oracle is opening in the Colombian territory, generates impact not only on the country's economy but also brings social benefits and the generation of new opportunities," said Saúl Kattan, senior presidential advisor for digital transformation, Colombia.
