Oracle Unveils Air-Gapped Cloud to Meet Data Sovereignty
As sovereign data protection becomes increasingly critical, Oracle has introduced Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated, a highly secure, air-gapped cloud solution tailored for governments, defence agencies, telecommunications providers and regulated industries.
The launch reflects Oracle’s growing focus on supporting national security operations while enabling cloud-based innovation within strict regulatory environments.
A cloud built for mission-critical sovereignty
Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated offers complete computing, storage and networking capabilities while operating entirely offline when required. By design, the service meets the security needs of organisations where data confidentiality and operational control are paramount.
It provides an infrastructure option that allows telecommunications providers and defence agencies to deploy cloud services within physically isolated environments entirely disconnected from the public internet.
“Protecting national security has always been a top priority for 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.”
Flexible deployment for strategic operations
With global tensions and cyber threats escalating, ministries of defence, intelligence agencies, telecom operators and healthcare organisations require cloud models that can adapt to mission demands. Oracle’s new offering supports both rapid deployment and long-term scalability.
The solution can be installed as a single rack for immediate deployment and expanded as operational needs evolve.
Telecom operators facing increasing national security obligations can implement Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated quickly, maintaining data sovereignty while leveraging advanced cloud capabilities.
Oracle offers multiple deployment pathways. The Fast-Start option allows organisations to establish an on-premises isolated cloud in as little as six to eight weeks. Alternatively, customers may adopt a phased approach — beginning with tactical edge computing, progressing through isolated cloud deployments and ultimately scaling to a full Oracle Cloud Isolated Region.
The hyperscale, fully air-gapped cloud environment remains entirely disconnected from public internet infrastructure, delivering maximum data control for national defence or regulated telecom operations.
Enabling secure AI innovation
Integrating critical infrastructure is a growing priority. Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated provides the necessary computing power to run AI workloads securely, even in isolated environments.
Telecom operators can harness AI-driven analytics, predictive maintenance and autonomous network management without compromising data integrity.
“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.”
Meeting the evolving needs of telecommunications providers
For telecommunications providers tasked with securing critical infrastructure, Oracle’s isolated cloud offering presents a strategic solution to multiple challenges.
As telecom networks become deeply integrated with national security frameworks, operators must ensure compliance with increasingly stringent sovereignty and security regulations.
- Maintain complete control of sensitive data within national borders.
- Operate critical systems in disconnected or degraded network conditions.
- Protect against cyber threats targeting public cloud environments.
- Support secure 5G and mission-critical communication networks.
- Deploy AI and machine learning models to enhance operational resilience.
Bridging the gap between cloud innovation and national security
Oracle’s latest innovation demonstrates the growing convergence of cloud computing, AI and national security.
As more telecom operators take on roles as critical national infrastructure providers, solutions like Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated offer the necessary flexibility to embrace digital transformation without compromising control or sovereignty.
“Digital services are becoming the operational backbone — from logistics to command and control — and forces need connectivity that moves with the mission,” added Andy.
The capability to deliver secure, AI-powered cloud services under the most demanding conditions positions Oracle and its partners as key enablers of future-ready national security networks.
As telecommunications providers face mounting regulatory demands and rising cyber threats, Oracle’s sovereign cloud solutions present a new standard for operational security. They offer telecom leaders the tools to advance AI innovation while safeguarding national interests.
