Summary: Oracle launched a second cloud region in Brazil, its 30th globally. The region does not yet feature on Oracle’s coverage but is based out of Vinhedo in Sao Paulo state, where Ascenty operates a campus. Oracle’s existing Brazil East region is also in Sao Paulo, but it is not clear whether it is in the city itself or elsewhere in the state. We are assuming it is closer in to Sao Paulo than Vinhedo, which is about 80km from the city centre. The new region is the only Oracle Cloud region in Brazil to offer the Oracle Microsoft Azure interconnect service. Telecom Italia Mobile Brasil (TIM Brasil) is using this service to run its Oracle Customer Relationship Management and third party billing applications, integration, Oracle Exadata Cloud service, Oracle Database Cloud service and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, while running SAP HANA and Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure workloads on Azure. Using a 40Gbps connection and federated identity between the two clouds, TIM Brasil is migrating a combined 7k servers, 35k cores, 1.2k databases and 15 petabytes of storage, with an estimated data latency of 2ms.
