The new cloud region enables Oracle customers to harness the power of OCI locally and leverage its offerings and services, including Oracle Autonomous Database, to unlock innovation and drive business growth.

Arelion provides connectivity to OCI via Oracle’s first Mexico-based cloud region in Querétaro, and through its continued collaboration with Oracle, the global internet carrier will provide secure, dedicated, and scalable connectivity to OCI globally via the new Oracle Cloud Monterrey Region. This collaboration makes Arelion one of the international internet carriers to partner on the Oracle Cloud Monterrey Region. With OCI, customers benefit from best-in-class security, consistent high performance, simple and predictable pricing, and the tools and expertise needed to bring enterprise workloads to cloud quickly and efficiently.
