Oracle has announced plans to open two Oracle Cloud Regions in Morocco to provide enterprise cloud services to local and regional organizations across Africa. The new regions, located in Casablanca and Settat, will enable Oracle customers and partners to migrate mission-critical workloads from their data centers to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), helping them comply with local regulations. The planned public cloud regions will support the digital transformation of enterprises, startups, universities, and investors in Morocco and across the region. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the establishment of the two Oracle Cloud Regions in Morocco was signed during GITEX Africa 2024. The new regions will offer OCI’s full suite of services, including Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave Database Service, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, OCI Generative AI service, and OCI AI Infrastructure.
