Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) operates a vast global network that allows you to rent servers in nearly every corner of the world. As of early 2026, Oracle has expanded to over 50 public cloud regions across more than 25 countries.

One of OCI’s unique selling points is its Dual-Region Strategy: in most major countries where Oracle operates, they provide at least two geographically separate regions to ensure high availability and disaster recovery within that country's borders.

1. Global Presence by Continent

Here is a breakdown of the major geographic hubs where you can currently rent servers:

• North America: * USA: Ashburn (VA), Phoenix (AZ), Chicago (IL), San Jose (CA), and upcoming locations in Ohio and Utah.

  • Canada: Toronto and Montreal.

  • Mexico: Querétaro and Monterrey.

• Europe: * Major Hubs: Frankfurt (Germany), London (UK), Newport (UK), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Paris (France), and Milan (Italy).

  • Recent Expansions: Madrid (Spain), Stockholm (Sweden), Zurich (Switzerland), and Jovanovac (Serbia).

  • Sovereign Cloud: Dedicated regions in Frankfurt and Madrid for strict EU data residency.

• Asia Pacific (APAC): * India: Mumbai and Hyderabad.

  • Japan: Tokyo and Osaka.

  • Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.

  • Southeast Asia: Singapore (dual regions), Seoul and Chuncheon (South Korea), and Kulai (Malaysia) which launched in early 2026.

• Middle East & Africa: * Middle East: Jeddah and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Abu Dhabi and Dubai (UAE), Jerusalem (Israel), and Muscat (Oman).

  • Africa: Johannesburg (South Africa), with Nairobi (Kenya) and Morocco regions currently in advanced deployment.

• Latin America: * Brazil: São Paulo and Vinhedo.

  • Chile: Santiago and Valparaiso.

  • Colombia: Bogota.

2. Specialized & Distributed Regions

Beyond standard public regions, OCI offers "Distributed Cloud" models for specific geographic needs:

• Dedicated Region25: Released in late 2025, this allows you to rent a "mini-region" (starting as small as 3 racks) to be placed physically inside your own data center anywhere in the world.

• Multicloud Regions: OCI now runs natively inside other providers' data centers. You can rent Oracle Database and compute resources directly within Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS data centers in select regions (e.g., US East, UK South, Germany Central).

3. Government & Defense Realms

Oracle maintains completely isolated "Realms" for government entities that are physically and logically separate from the public regions:

• US Government: Dedicated regions for FedRAMP, IL5, and Department of Defense (DoD).

• UK & Australian Government: Local sovereign regions strictly for public sector use.
