Ooredoo Qatar has selected Oracle Alloy to deliver sovereign AI and cloud services to government and enterprise customers. Oracle Alloy is a complete infrastructure platform that enables partners to become cloud providers. With this platform, Ooredoo will offer Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s 200+ AI and cloud services across Qatar. These services will operate from Ooredoo’s local data centers to meet data residency, sovereignty, and compliance requirements.

Ooredoo, an international telecommunications company, serves over 100 million customers in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. The move comes as demand rises for sovereign managed cloud and AI services. By using Oracle Alloy, Ooredoo can support customers in modernizing their businesses while adhering to strict data governance rules.

Sheikh Ali bin Jabor bin Mohammad Al Thani, CEO at Ooredoo Qatar, said the collaboration is a milestone in enabling Qatar’s digital future. He highlighted that hosting AI and cloud services locally empowers government and enterprise clients with secure, high-performance capabilities. The partnership aims to strengthen Qatar’s economic growth, resilience, and technological leadership.

Oracle’s sovereign AI solutions, powered by Oracle Alloy, will help Ooredoo accelerate AI adoption in Qatar. Distributed cloud, OCI Generative AI service, and OCI AI infrastructure will allow local deployment of AI and cloud-native applications. Combined with security and governance controls, these services enable organizations to adopt AI at scale within a sovereign environment.

Richard Smith, EVP and GM of EMEA Cloud Infrastructure at Oracle, emphasized that sovereign cloud infrastructure with hyperscale capabilities is key to national resilience and economic growth. Oracle Alloy, part of Oracle’s distributed cloud, functions as a full cloud region, continually updated with new features from other Oracle public cloud regions.

Oracle’s distributed cloud offers public, dedicated, hybrid, and multicloud services. Public cloud regions serve organizations requiring strict sovereignty controls. Dedicated cloud allows all OCI services to run locally. Hybrid cloud enables on-premises deployments via Exadata Cloud@Customer and Compute Cloud@Customer, already operating in over 60 countries. Multicloud services integrate Oracle capabilities with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure for low-latency and seamless AI database solutions.

With Oracle Alloy and its full OCI portfolio, Ooredoo is positioned to expand cloud services in Qatar. This partnership strengthens the country’s technological foundation while ensuring compliance, sovereignty, and innovation with Oracle Cloud.
