TIM will integrate the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure solution into its managed cloud services offering.
The agreement will allow companies and the Public Administration to take advantage of OCI’s high performance in security, data management, artificial intelligence and distributed and sovereign cloud. TIM will host Oracle’s second Cloud Region in Italy in one of its Data Centers
TIM and Oracle have announced a strategic collaboration with the aim of responding to the growing demand for cloud services from businesses and the Public Administration. As part of the agreement, TIM Enterprise will integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services into its offering. TIM will also become the partner of the second Italian Oracle Cloud Region, which will be located in Turin and hosted in the new generation and highly reliable Data Center of the TIM Group.
As part of Oracle’s distributed cloud strategy, the future Cloud Region will provide businesses and governments with access to a broad range of cloud services to migrate all types of workloads from their data centers to OCI, modernize their applications and innovate with data, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). Oracle is the only hyperscaler capable of providing AI and a complete suite of more than 100 cloud services in dedicated, public and hybrid cloud environments, anywhere in the world, including: Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave Database Service, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, and the AI infrastructure itself.
Through the current Cloud Region in Milan (already active since 2021) and with the opening of a second Cloud Region in Italy, Oracle will allow customers to improve operational continuity, replicating their workloads in distributed locations and helping them at the same time to meet compliance and digital sovereignty requirements, keeping the data in Italy.
This new Cloud Region will be located in one of the 16 TIM Enterprise Data Centers, developed according to the highest technological, security and environmental standards and capable of satisfying the needs of businesses and the Public Administration.
“We are pleased to partner with TIM, to bring OCI to public and private sector organizations and support their digital transformation initiatives” – he has declared Richard SmithExecutive Vice President e General Manager, EMEA Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle. “With the addition of OCI to TIM Enterprise’s portfolio, we complement their robust cloud services offering with a cloud platform used by customers around the world to run their most important and mission-critical workloads in the cloud. Furthermore, with the upcoming opening of our second Cloud Region in Italy, we are reaffirming our commitment to helping Italian organizations of all sizes and sectors accelerate the adoption of AI and other innovative technologies.”
“The partnership with Oracle is a further important milestone for TIM Enterprise which presents itself as a point of reference for businesses and the Public Administration in the digital transformation journey by providing innovative, sustainable and safe solutions” – commented Elio SchiavoChief Enterprise & Innovative Solutions Officer di TIM. “Our cloud proposal is enriched thanks to the major global players in the sector and represents the basis of our future growth in a highly strategic area for the country. Oracle’s choice to make use of our Data Centers for the creation of a new Region is confirmation of the absolute excellence of our infrastructures which, due to their capillarity and quality, represent something unique at a national level.”
TIM Enterprise will offer Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services to public sector and private enterprise customers in Italy, making its expertise available to accelerate the migration of mission-critical workloads to the cloud. These are solutions that stand out for their high security built-in by design, superior performance, high availability and reduced costs, ideal for supporting mission-critical and cloud-native workloads in large enterprises and public organizations.
As part of the collaboration, TIM will also use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to migrate some of the Group’s internal applications to the cloud.
