Oracle has announced plans to invest over $6.5 billion in the development of a new public cloud region in Malaysia. The new cloud region will provide businesses and organizations in Malaysia with the opportunity to modernize their applications, migrate workloads to the cloud, and leverage data analytics and AI for innovation.
Oracle’s Executive Vice President for Japan and Asia Pacific, Garrett Ilg, emphasized that this investment would allow Malaysian customers, including government agencies, financial institutions, and airline and hospitality companies, to benefit from cloud services based locally rather than relying on external facilities.
Oracle’s planned cloud region in Malaysia will be its third in Southeast Asia, following its existing facilities in Singapore. The company currently operates a network of 50 public cloud regions across 24 countries worldwide.
This investment aligns with Oracle’s broader strategy of expanding its presence across Asia, with additional data centers and infrastructure projects planned in countries such as Japan, New Zealand, and India.
