Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated manages classified workloads to support mission success

AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Defense Tech Summit -- Oracle today announced Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated, a secure, sovereign compute cloud service that can be disconnected from the internet, providing governments and regulated industries the required level of security and control for confidential data. For governments, ministries of defense, and intelligence agencies, as well as telecommunications and healthcare organizations, Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated is designed to help minimize risks of attacks, adhere to stringent regulations, and support national security.

"Protecting national security has always been a top priority for Oracle," said Matt Leonard, vice president, edge cloud product management, Oracle. "Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated is designed to help regulated industries benefit from the cloud and AI, while also providing the flexibility to deploy anywhere."

Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated delivers the same compute, storage, and networking services and tools available from Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer. It will help organizations accelerate AI innovation and improve efficiency, while maintaining sovereignty of their data and the operation of the underlying infrastructure. It can be deployed as a single rack and scaled up as needed, which enables organizations to quickly deploy OCI Compute services on-premises in isolation in locations with unique data sovereignty requirements. This empowers defense customers to quickly start their cloud migration wherever missions require support.

One option is Oracle's Fast-Start path, which can deliver Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated on-premises in six to eight weeks while enabling customers to build out an Oracle Cloud Isolated Region for future use. Alternatively, customers can choose a phased journey, and transition from tactical edge computing, through Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated deployments, all the way up to a hyperscale, air-gapped Oracle Cloud Isolated Region. Oracle Cloud Isolated Region is disconnected from the internet and from other clouds, providing comprehensive control and enabling the required level of data sovereignty and security for defense operations.

"As digital services become the operational backbone – from logistics to command and control – forces need connectivity that moves with the mission," said Andy Laidler, chief digital officer, Fujitsu Defence and National Security. "Fujitsu's Secure Cloud solution incorporates the full range of Oracle deployment options to ensure we deliver capability where it is needed most. Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated provides a secure, isolated environment and access to data anywhere, anytime, and under all conditions to help propel mission success."

Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated will be available globally later this year.
