Oracle in Africa:
To meet the rapidly growing demand for enterprise cloud services in Africa, Oracle has launched its first cloud region in Johannesburg, South Africa. This region is playing a key role in accelerating the adoption of latest digital technologies while also helping African businesses achieve better performance and drive continuous innovation.
The Johannesburg region is built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which enables customers to easily migrate IT workloads and data platforms to the cloud or build new cloud native applications. In addition, Oracle offers a wide range of application modernisation and cloud strategies to help African organisations operate with global competitiveness.
