Oracle bolsters distributed cloud, AI strategy with new Mexico cloud region

Monterrey region to provide Telmex value-added services

The new region in Mexico, in Monterrey, is part of Oracle’s distributed cloud strategy, under which the company provides a managed open source database service available across multiple clouds for transaction processing, analytics, and machine learning workloads.

Oracle said that it has partnered with Telmex to formulate a joint go-to-market strategy in order to deliver OCI services along with the latter’s value-added services.

Telmex is providing the data center space to host the Oracle Cloud Monterrey Region and will provide its sales force for a joint go-to-market strategy.

OCI services currently being offered in the region include over 100 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services, such as Oracle’s Autonomous Database and MySQL HeatWave, among others.

The launch of the new region (mx-monterrey-1), which has one availability domain, takes Oracle’s total cloud region tally to 46.  The first region in Mexico is based at Querétaro.

Other data centers in the North America region include four commercial regions in the US and two such regions in Canada. The company also runs five separate government regions out of the US.
