AUSTIN, Texas
and MEXICO CITY,
June 30,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced the
opening of the first Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) region in
Mexico, becoming the first major
cloud provider to establish a dedicated cloud region in the
country. The new region in the state of Querétaro will give
Oracle's Mexico-based customers,
partners, and developers access to a wide range of cloud services
with built-in security, disaster recovery, and industry-leading
price-performance.
"We are excited to establish a cloud region in Mexico that will offer public and private
organizations, as well as partners and developers, the opportunity
to leverage OCI to grow their businesses," said Maribel Dos Santos, senior vice president and
general manager, Oracle Mexico. "The Oracle Cloud Querétaro region
offers organizations a wide range of services, including access to
emerging technologies, to help improve the customer experience and
positively impact the country's ecosystem of innovation."
The new Querétaro region is Oracle's 39th worldwide
cloud region and will offer OCI and Oracle Fusion Cloud
Applications services to help organizations in Mexico modernize their operations, manage
critical data, and develop multi-cloud architectures and
cloud-native applications.
"The share of the technology industry in the gross domestic
product of the state of Querétaro is 4.3 percent, and the opening
of the new Querétaro region in our state reaffirms the momentum and
interest we have in the development of this sector. In addition, as
a public institution, we also rely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
to strengthen the government services that we offer for the benefit
of our citizens," said Mauricio Kuri
Gonzalez, governor, State of Querétaro.
High Availability Provides Customers with a Resilient Cloud
Foundation
OCI's next-generation architecture provides a
high performing, resilient foundation for cloud services, while its
physical and virtual network design maximizes performance and
security. For example, each Oracle Cloud region contains at least
three fault domains, which are groupings of hardware that form
logical data centers for high availability and resilience to
hardware and network failures.
A Global Commitment to Sustainable Operations at Lower
Costs
As part of its ongoing focus on sustainability, Oracle
has committed to powering all worldwide Oracle Cloud regions with
100 percent renewable energy by 2025, including the new Querétaro
region.
Oracle Helps Organizations Accelerate their Cloud
Migrations
The Oracle Cloud Querétaro region will provide
customers throughout Mexico and

wide range of network partners that enable a direct and private
connection through OCI FastConnect. OCI's extensive network of more
than 70 regional and global FastConnect partners provides customers
