It’s official. Oracle has just launched its cloud region in Spain. The American company thus joins others such as Microsoft or Google, which launched their own cloud zones before this summer and is a few months ahead of AWS, which plans to launch its own region in our country before the end of this year.
The new region is the result of Oracle’s alliance with Telefónica, which has been the company selected to house the new CPD of the American multinational in Madrid. As the company has highlighted, the new region will give Oracle’s public and private sector customers and partners based in Spain access to a wide range of cloud services to modernize their applications, innovate with data and analytics, and even “completely close its on-premises data centers.”
As Albert Triola (general director of Oracle in Spain) has highlighted, with the opening of the new region in Madrid, the company strengthens its commitment to help its customers take advantage of the best cloud technologies while allowing “the highest standards of security, availability and performance.
The new region of Madrid is the Oracle’s 40th Cloud Region Worldwide and will offer more than 100 OCI services, including the unique converged database capabilities of Oracle MySQL Heatwave and Oracle Autonomous Database. In addition and underlining its commitment to sustainability, Oracle has ensured that all its data centers will be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2025 and with the incorporation of Madrid, 10 regions of Europe are already powered in this way.
New customers in Oracle Cloud Madrid
With the opening of the new region, some of the main clients of the technology company in our country have had the opportunity to transfer part of their workloads to the new infrastructure.
For example, Álvaro Gaviño, BBVA’s global leader in behavioral economics, has highlighted that “the opening of the Oracle Cloud Madrid region is excellent news for our BELA project, since it allows us to safeguard the valuable data that we handle in an even more secure way. »; Antonio de la Torre, director of databases at DIA, has indicated that “a local cloud region will further benefit our strategy, helping us to reduce service latencies” and María Jesús Almazor, CEO of cybersecurity and cloud at Telefonica Tech highlights that its alliance with Oracle, “will allow us to expand our cloud services and strengthen our strategic positioning in PaaS, as well as reinforce the value proposition of our database and middleware applications.”
