Oracle Cloud Isolated Region delivers
air-gapped, hyperscale cloud and AI services for Singapore's mission-critical defence
applications
SINGAPORE and AUSTIN, Texas, March 18,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore's Defence Science and Technology
Agency (DSTA) has signed a contract with Oracle for an Oracle Cloud
Isolated Region that supports the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF)
and Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
The collaboration between DSTA and Oracle will enable MINDEF and
the SAF to gain access to high-performance, air-gapped, and secure
sovereign cloud computing, data management, and artificial
intelligence (AI) services in a secured environment. The use of
Oracle Cloud Isolated Region will transform the Command, Control,
Communications and Computers (C4) functions of the SAF, and will
modernize its digital capabilities with increased scalability and
performance.
Under this agreement, the Digital and Intelligence Service can
use Oracle's air-gapped cloud services to accelerate innovation and
deployment of AI for the SAF's missions. Oracle Cloud Isolated
Region is a sovereign air-gapped hyperscale Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) region that offers the same services that are
available in a public OCI region. Oracle Cloud Isolated Region is
completely disconnected from the internet and provides MINDEF and
SAF with a scalable, secure, and resilient environment to enhance
insights and enable faster decision-making.
"The demand for secure and scalable cloud solutions is growing.
It is more than just data storage and computing – it will be the
foundation for a lot of innovation. Through this pilot
collaboration with Oracle, we will harness advanced cloud and AI
technologies to digitalise and transform our operations," said Mr
Ng Chad-Son, Chief Executive of
DSTA.
"Oracle has safeguarded the world's most sensitive data for
decades. We are pleased to bring this expertise to support the
Singapore defence community's
missions," said Rand Waldron, Global
Defense CTO, Oracle. "Our air-gapped, isolated cloud regions bring
the capabilities of our public cloud and defense ecosystem to the
world's most secure networks. Oracle is built to deliver the
highest levels of security and performance for governments around
the world."
Oracle delivers AI and a full suite of 150+ cloud services
across dedicated, public, sovereign, and hybrid cloud environments
anywhere in the world, including air-gapped infrastructure on
classified networks.
