Oracle’s public cloud is delivered by networks of globally distributed cloud regions that provide secure, high-performance, local environments, organized into separate, secure cloud realms. Organizations can move, build, and run all workloads and cloud applications on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) while complying with regional data regulations.
Oracle Cloud offers services from 46 public cloud regions in 23 countries. Each Oracle Cloud region offers a consistent set of more than 100 cloud services designed to run any application, faster and more securely, for less.

Oracle Cloud regions are organized into separate cloud realms for customers with differing security and compliance needs. Realms are isolated from each other and share no physical infrastructure, accounts, data, resources, or network connections. Customer tenancies exist in a single realm and can only access regions that belong to that realm.
Oracle Cloud regions accessible to any customer.
A highly secure, enterprise-scale cloud ecosystem that is isolated from commercial customers and built to support regulatory-compliant, mission-critical US public sector workloads. Oracle operates multiple separate cloud realms that are certified under different compliance standards for the US government.
Oracle Cloud operates the first and only sovereign, dedicated dual-region cloud for UK government and defense customers. The realm is designed in collaboration with multiple UK government and defense ministries.
Oracle Cloud operates a government cloud region that is isolated from commercial customers and built for the Australian Government, including defense customers and their service providers.
All OCI regions are architected to enable high availability architectures for applications and databases.
Each region supports high availability architectures using fault domains (FDs) to address the most common issues at a metropolitan scale, similar to the Availability Zones (AZs) offered by other cloud providers. Each fault domain is like a virtual data center with power and network redundancy at the physical level. Software deployment in a fault domain is staggered to minimize the blast radius and helps avoid single points of failure (SPOFs) in resource deployment, ensuring application availability.
For applications with higher availability needs, workloads can add disaster recovery capabilities (extreme reliability architecture) for protection in case an entire data center becomes unavailable. In these cases, OCI recommends replication across dual Oracle Cloud regions to enable geographic disaster recovery. Oracle Cloud regions are in different cities to provide geographical distance and operate on different power grids, network infrastructure, and flood plains, offering resiliency against data center failures and natural disasters. Multiregion architectures that leverage fault domains in each region represent the best option to protect your workloads against geographic disaster.
Oracle Cloud regions provide global, secure, high performance environments to move, build, and run all your applications. Our fast-growing network of global data centers incorporates strict physical security controls, built-in resiliency, environmental monitoring, and more.
Oracle Cloud data centers incorporate physical security controls (PDF) such as physical access, alarms, CCTV monitoring, 24/7 onsite guards, and more.
Temperature and humidity are controlled to align with industry standards, enabling optimal performance. Server rooms are equipped with fire-suppression systems to protect Oracle’s equipment.
This network enables reliable, private data movement between regions for disaster protection, data processing, and data locality.
The Uptime Institute and Telecommunications Industry Association ANSI/TIA-942-A Tier 3 or Tier 4 standards and follow an N+2 redundancy methodology for critical equipment operation.
Oracle data centers use redundant power sources and maintain generator backups in case of widespread electrical outage.
All sites undergo a risk evaluation to assess environmental threats, power availability and stability, vendor reputation and history, neighboring facility functions, and geopolitical considerations.
Each Oracle Cloud region offers all the services you need to migrate, build, and run all your IT, from existing enterprise workloads to new cloud native applications and data platforms. Each Oracle Cloud region delivers more than 100 cloud services, with many autonomous services lowering the cost and effort of operations, security that’s built in, and many services (and support) included at no extra cost.
For enterprises that want to expand in multiple geographies without constraints, OCI provides a consistent experience in every region, both in terms of performance and cost. Customers can stay within their original budget and forecast cloud spending accurately, regardless of where they deploy applications. In addition, OCI provides a series of controls for you to limit resource access, manage your budget, tune down underused resources, and forecast your spending.
Oracle Cloud regions not only run customer workloads but also offer Oracle’s enterprise SaaS applications, including Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, NetSuite, Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management, and Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning, providing unmatched speed, security, and continuity.

Oracle is committed to helping customers operate globally in a fast-changing business environment and to address the challenges of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. Oracle Cloud regions are regularly assessed as part of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s compliance programs. We meet more than 70 global, regional, and industry standards, including SOC, PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, and GDPR.
OCI’s distributed cloud delivers the cloud to where customers need it with public cloud, dedicated cloud, hybrid cloud, and multicloud options. For customers that need cloud services in specific locations, with specific controls, or even from different clouds, OCI’s distributed cloud can bring the benefits of the cloud to workloads beyond the traditional boundaries of other cloud providers.
Explore OCI’s distributed cloud
Oracle’s goal is to achieve 100% renewable energy use in all OCI data centers by 2025. Regions in Europe and Latin America have already met this target, and we are on track for the remaining regions.
Oracle Cloud regions deliver an efficient, sustainable computing platform as we leverage state-of-the-art energy management and cooling techniques and maximize the use and recycling of hardware.
To meet rapidly growing global demand from public sector organizations, Oracle announced the new Oracle Cloud for Australian Government and Defense in Canberra. Offering over 100 services, the new region is a complete and highly secure hyperscale cloud platform that allows customers to build and run applications. It is physically isolated from Oracle’s other public and government cloud regions and shares no backbone connections with them, including the existing Sydney and Melbourne public regions that are available to all Oracle Cloud customers. The completed IRAP assessment at PROTECTED level provides assurance to Australian public sector organizations that Oracle Cloud for the Australian Government and Defense adheres to appropriate security controls.
