As part of this collaboration, Oracle will deploy critical GPU-based infrastructure in a dedicated Digital Realty data center in Northern Virginia. This deployment, which leverages Digital Realty’s open, purpose-built global data center solution PlatformDIGITAL®, will cater to a wide range of enterprises and AI customers, helping them to address critical infrastructure challenges, including those experienced with NVIDIA and AMD deployments. By leveraging the expertise and resources of both Oracle and Digital Realty, customers with mixed requirements can benefit from a tailored and efficient solution that meets their specific needs for GPU-based infrastructure.

This announcement further strengthens Digital Realty's existing partnership with Oracle, which currently encompasses multiple deployments across the globe, 11 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect points of presence, a global ServiceFabric™ presence, and a recent Oracle Solution Center deployment in one of Digital Realty’s Frankfurt data centers. In the fourth quarter of last year, Digital Realty successfully implemented an OCI Dedicated Region deployment for a major financial services customer, showcasing the potential of the collaboration between Oracle and Digital Realty in meeting enterprise customers' hybrid cloud requirements.
