As much as the internet makes the word a global village, Oracle through their business strategy thinks otherwise. In fact, Oracle thinks its proper to ensure that their cloud services are available in all the major geographic locations where their customers operate from. In which case, the company has recently come up with the generation 2 cloud with the sole purpose of ensuring that the organizations and consumers have the ability to solve their business challenges with solid reliability, high performance, as well as with a unique compatibility. Thus, by 6th of August, 2019, Oracle had already launched new cloud regions in four different geographical locations. some of this regions include India, Mumbai as well as Australia. The company strategically choose these regions since they comprise of the top busy markets for Oracle products. In fact, they are among the leading users of both on premise and cloud technologies around the world.

Looking at Oracle’s move, it is important to note that regions are important since they ensure resources are close enough to the customers both internally and externally. In which case, Oracle business development team operates with the ideology that having customers closer is likely to facilitate efficient performance as well as a better experience. On the other hand, it is my strong opinion that oracle is moving closer to its customers due to efficiencies related to disaster recovery. Thus, having the physical servers closer to the customer can easily help in dealing with any damages and ensuring business continuity at the same time. In that case, this is a bold move by oracle and there is no doubt that they are going to achieve the anticipated return on investments.
