Oracle has announced the opening of an Oracle Cloud Region in Colombia in partnership with Claro, becoming the first major cloud provider to establish a public cloud region in the country. 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 organisations across Colombia.
Germán Borromei, Managing Director, Oracle Colombia and Ecuador, said: “With the new region we are helping to accelerate the adoption of cloud solutions, democratise access to innovative technology, support the modernisation of organisations, 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,” added Carlos Senteno, President, Claro Colombia. “Oracle selected our data center, certified with ICREA 5, so that organisations in Colombia and other countries like Perú, Ecuador, and Panamá gain access to innovative cloud services with low latency and high availability.”
