Oracle has opened a new cloud region in Singapore, pushing its Asia-Pacific footprint to nine and global coverage to 33 cloud regions. It also is offering 100 startups here $30,000 each in cloud credits that they can consume over the next two years.
The new Singapore region would support increasing demand for enterprise cloud services in Southeast Asia, as the region’s economy recovered, said Oracle in a statement Tuesday.
The tech vendor currently operates nine cloud regions in Asia-Pacific, including two each in Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia. It is targeting to have at least 44 cloud regions worldwide by the end of next year.
In Singapore, 100 startups will be offered $30,000 each in Oracle cloud credits over the next couple of years. It also will provide free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) training and certifications through to March 31 next year, which it said aimed to boost local IT talent and skillsets.
