Oracle will be opening a second Oracle Cloud Region in Chile, making it the first hyperscaler to have two regions in the country. With the new Oracle Cloud Valparaíso Region and the existing region in Santiago, Oracle will help organizations across all industries in Chile strengthen business continuity while addressing data residency and sovereignty requirements.
Part of Oracle's distributed cloud strategy, the new public cloud region is Oracle's 48th worldwide and will offer Oracle Cloud's full capabilities across more than 100 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services and cloud applications, including Oracle Autonomous Database, MySQL HeatWave Database Service, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, and AI infrastructure.
Underscoring its significant investment across Chile and the broader Latin America region, Oracle now operates seven public cloud regions across Chile, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico.
With the addition of a second region in Chile, customers and partners gain access to low-latency networking and high-speed data transfer across both Oracle Cloud Regions to help them derive better value from their data.
Joaquin Ma-Shichoy, MD, Oracle Chile
The arrival of the second Oracle Cloud Region in Chile is a significant milestone as it allows our customers to gain the benefits of OCI's services, while leveraging best practices for business continuity and disaster recovery. With the opening of the Oracle Cloud Valparaíso Region, we're strengthening our commitment to Chile's technological development by enabling organizations – including those in highly regulated industries and with in-country data residency requirements – to accelerate their journeys to the cloud.
Esteban Kemp, COO, Banco de Chile
The cloud is transforming the way we work and deliver services to our customers. For us it is essential to have business partners who are constantly evolving in this sense and have a strong local presence. The opening of a second Oracle Cloud region in Chile, in addition to providing scalable, flexible, and secure services, will provide us with greater resilience via local access – which is necessary to support the digital transformation of Banco de Chile.
Helder Branco, Head of IT Operations, Entel
Given that in Chile the rise of cloud infrastructure is a reality, the arrival of Oracle's second region not only marks a technological milestone, but it will also help drive digital transformation and new cloud architectures that are more resilient and secure for industries across the country. In addition, the opening of this new region demonstrates Oracle's commitment to the country and continues to enable local companies to use world-class solutions recognized for their stability and high performance.
