Oracle announced that the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) will move its mission-critical workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Delivered in collaboration with Red Reply, and Shield Reply, the Reply Group companies specializing in Oracle technologies, and prime contractor Thales, NCIA will move its on-premises workloads to OCI to benefit from OCI’s sovereign cloud solutions, high performance, availability, AI innovation, and enterprise-grade security.
NCIA is the technology and cyber hub of NATO, focusing on connecting the Alliance, defending its networks, and supporting its operations. Its mission is to provide secure, cost-effective, and interoperable communications and information systems and services to NATO.
“Together with Oracle, we are committed to helping NCIA provide secure, cloud-oriented, and interoperable communications and information systems and services to NATO,” said Alexandre Bottero, vice president network and infrastructure systems, Thales. “With OCI, NCIA will be able to take advantage of the latest cloud and AI innovations to modernize its technology infrastructure without compromising the security of its mission-critical data.”
With OCI’s sovereign cloud capabilities, NCIA will be able to meet its requirements for data residency, services at hyperscale, and operational controls.
“OCI will help the NCIA manage, analyze, and protect their data while also giving them more control and peace of mind where data is stored and where workloads run,” said Richard Smith, executive vice president of technology and general manager, Oracle EMEA. “We are proud to support NATO and look forward to helping the Alliance benefit from Oracle’s AI-optimized cloud in a secure, resilient environment.”
Red Reply, Shield Reply, and Thales will oversee the integration of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure into the NATO Information System, guaranteeing end-to-end data security and coordinating the associated workload migration, while Proximus will deliver advanced networking capabilities.
