Oracle plans to invest U.S. $1 billion over the next five years to meet the rapidly growing demand for its AI and cloud services in the Netherlands. The investment will expand Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) footprint in the Netherlands and will include a significant expansion of AI infrastructure capacity in the Oracle Cloud Amsterdam Region. This will enable more enterprises, startups, and public organizations in the Netherlands to take advantage of Oracle’s industry-leading AI infrastructure and sovereign cloud to innovate with AI, data, and analytics.

“Organizations in the Netherlands are rapidly embracing AI and new technologies,” said Wilfred Scholman, vice president and Netherlands country leader, Oracle. “The Dutch government has made clear its ambition to establish a strong technology industry ecosystem in the Netherlands that offers opportunities for AI innovation for both economic and societal benefit. The investment we are announcing today, including a significant expansion of OCI’s AI infrastructure capacity, reaffirms our commitment to help organizations in the Netherlands of every size and across every industry—including the Netherlands’ thriving startup and SME sector—innovate with data and AI to boost productivity, resilience, and sustainable growth.”

This investment will see Oracle expanding its OCI footprint in the Netherlands to help organizations in key local industries such as financial services, logistics, life sciences, and energy migrate all types of workloads to the cloud, modernize their applications, and leverage the latest AI innovations.

Oracle is uniquely placed to help customers in the Netherlands address a variety of data privacy, sovereign AI and low latency requirements, as it is the only hyperscaler that can deliver 200+ AI and cloud services at the edge, in a customer’s datacenter, across clouds, or in the public cloud.

Oracle’s distributed cloud offerings in the Netherlands include its commercial cloud region in Amsterdam, OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, Oracle Alloy, and multicloud capabilities. In addition, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud helps Dutch and EU customers with data and applications that are sensitive, regulated, or of strategic regional importance, take advantage of the latest AI innovations and move to the cloud.

About Oracle Distributed Cloud

Oracle’s distributed cloud delivers the benefits of cloud with greater control and flexibility. Oracle’s distributed cloud lineup includes:

• Public Cloud: Hyperscale public cloud regions serve any size of organization, including those requiring strict EU sovereignty controls. See the full list of regions here.
• Dedicated Cloud: Customers can run all OCI cloud services in their own data centers with OCI Dedicated Region, while partners can resell OCI cloud services and customize the experience using Oracle Alloy. Oracle also operates separate U.S., UK, and Australian Government Clouds, and Isolated Cloud Regions for national security purposes. Each of these products provide a full cloud and AI stack that customers can deploy as a Sovereign Cloud.
• Hybrid Cloud: OCI delivers key cloud services on-premises via Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer and Compute Cloud@Customer and is already managing deployments in over 60 countries. Additionally, OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure, which consists of multiple configurations of ruggedized and portable high-performance devices, helps customers leverage remote AI inferencing at the edge.
• Multicloud: OCI is physically deployed within all the hyperscale cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, providing low latency, natively integrated Oracle Database services, including Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud; and Oracle HeatWave on AWS and Microsoft Azure. Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure and Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud allows customers to combine key capabilities from across clouds.
