Tech giant Oracle considers expanding cloud operations to Indonesia
Southeast Asia’s growing cloud market is driving Oracle’s continued investment in the region.
Oracle is in discussions with the Indonesian government to establish a cloud services centre on Batam Island, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The island’s Nongsa Digital Park is being considered due to its free trade zone status and proximity to Singapore and Malaysia, where Oracle is already expanding its cloud operations.
The move aligns with Oracle’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence in Asia. In October, the company announced plans to invest over $6.5 billion in its first public cloud region in Malaysia.
The firm is also developing more data centres across the region, spanning from Japan to New Zealand and India.
Oracle currently operates two cloud facilities in Singapore and has 50 public cloud regions across 24 countries. Its ongoing expansion reflects the growing demand for cloud services in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia emerging as a key market for future investment.
