Digital Realty adds Oracle Cloud FastConnect access in Singapore

Digital Realty described plans to provide direct connectivity to Oracle Cloud in Singapore and to open an Oracle Solution Center through its PlatformDIGITAL platform, steps the companies said would support hybrid and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads.

The company described the new connectivity as adding a second on-ramp to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in southeast Asia to deliver lower-latency access and improved redundancy, and to enable support for hybrid, AI-enabled and cloud-adjacent workloads; the announcement also listed security, consistent high performance, predictable pricing, and tools and expertise as benefits of OCI.

The plan specified an OCI FastConnect point-of-presence within the Oracle Cloud Singapore West Region and an Oracle Solution Center hosted on PlatformDIGITAL; the Solution Center would provide a secure environment to design, test and validate hybrid and AI architectures, and OCI’s FastConnect network included more than 110 global and regional partners offering dedicated connectivity.

Digital Realty planned the second on-ramp to OCI in the region and said the Solution Center would be the first in Singapore. “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.

“Customers require high throughput, private, and secure connectivity between their on-premises environment and cloud to support their business critical and evolving AI application needs. With OCI FastConnect service and Digital Realty’s global footprint, customers can provision these dedicated high throughput private connections easily and scale to meet their growing business demands,” said Chris Chelliah, Senior Vice President, Technology and Customer Strategy, Oracle Japan & Asia Pacific.

The press release contained forward-looking statements based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and referred readers to the company's reports and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for descriptions of risks and uncertainties.
