I am delighted to announce that the second OCI Dedicated Region in Oman is now live in Ibri City. This marks the completion of Oman’s first hyperscale cloud region designed to help boost public sector innovation and help ensure data sovereignty.   The new OCI Dedicated Region offers 200+ OCI #AI and cloud services, as well as Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, to Oman government entities. The #Oman government will now be able to move its business-critical workloads to the cloud, enabling operational efficiency and cost savings while ensuring compliance with the Sultanate’s data sovereignty requirements.    The first OCI Dedicated Region led by ITHCA Group is already live in Muscat, Oman.    The Oman government’s OCI Dedicated Region is a self-contained region where all data, including API operations and metadata, remain local to the region. ITHCA Group will also have access to the tools needed to reliably run Oracle and third-party applications, create cloud-native applications, and modernise existing ones with machine learning and modern cloud services.   Congratulations to the ITHCA Group and Oracle teams on this incredible milestone that will help accelerate Oman’s digital economy.
