Digital Realty, the world’s largest provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection services-and an established Oracle Partner, announced expanded connectivity capabilities for enterprises across Southeast Asia. The company will now offer direct access to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect point-of-presence (PoP) within the Oracle Cloud Singapore West Region. Digital Realty is also introducing an Oracle Solution Center in Singapore via its global data center platform, PlatformDIGITAL®, giving customers a secure environment to architect, test, and validate hybrid and AI-driven solutions. This is the first center of its kind in Singapore. It shows the country’s rising position as a key digital and AI hub in the region.
The new OCI FastConnect feature gives customers better performance, lower latency, and more redundancy. It does this by adding a second regional on-ramp to Oracle Cloud. This connectivity helps organizations manage hybrid cloud setups. It also supports AI workloads and data-heavy apps more effectively. OCI helps businesses move important workloads to the cloud. It offers strong security, clear pricing, and high performance.
“The launch of OCI FastConnect in Singapore marks an important step in our continued partnership with Oracle, and ongoing commitment to helping customers deploy cloud and AI workloads with speed and confidence,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty. “Together with Oracle, we’re enabling enterprises to seamlessly connect to the cloud, scale AI innovation, and future-proof their digital infrastructure in Asia Pacific and around the world.”
