AUSTIN, Texas and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The tech infrastructure and software company Oracle is planning to invest $6.5 billion in its AI and cloud computing operations in Malaysia.
The investment should help Oracle meet the "rapidly growing" demand for its AI and cloud services in Malaysia, according to the company yesterday.
The company plans to open a public cloud region for customers and partners in Malaysia to use Oracle AI infrastructure and services and migrate mission-critical workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Oracle believes the public cloud region will help organizations in Malaysia modernize their applications and innovate with data, analytics and AI.
Oracle will provide a range of AI offerings to customers in the country: OCI Generative AI Agents with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities; accelerated computing and generative AI services to help keep sovereign AI models within country borders; and OCI Supercluster, an AI supercomputer in the cloud — with up to 131,072 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
Several NVIDIA AI infrastructure services will be available to customers in Malaysia through Oracle, including NVIDIA AI Enterprise, NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA DGX Cloud.
Oracle will also offer over 150 infrastructure, platform or software services, such as Oracle Autonomous Database, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and OCI Kubernetes Engine.
“Malaysia offers unique growth opportunities for organizations looking to accelerate their expansion with the latest digital technologies,” said Garrett Ilg, EVP and GM of Japan and Asia Pacific, Oracle.
“Our multi-billion dollar investment affirms our commitment to Malaysia as a regional gateway for cloud infrastructure.”
