AIS to launch Thailand's first locally-owned cloud with Oracle Alloy

Thailand-based mobile network operator Advanced Info Service (AIS) is launching a cloud service using Oracle Alloy which it claims will be Thailand's first locally owned and operated hyperscale cloud, known as AIS Cloud.

Somchai Lertsutiwong, chief executive officer, AIS said: "For over 34 years, AIS has continuously developed digital technology infrastructure to provide customers in Thailand with a superior digital experience. This is coupled with leveraging our network's potential by collaborating with various partners to connect and support public and private sector organizations in achieving effective digital transformation. This enhances the capability and elevates the ability to create business growth, leading to sustainable competitive advantages for the country."

"Cloud technology plays a pivotal role in supporting the IT infrastructure modernization and innovation for organizations in Thailand, and Oracle Alloy has made it possible for AIS to become a locally owned and operated hyperscale cloud provider in the country," Lertsutiwong added.

Garrett Ilg, executive vice president and general manager for Japan and Asia Pacific at Oracle, said: "Providing our partners and customers with more choice has always been our priority. Thailand is a strategic market for Oracle and the Oracle Alloy collaboration with AIS will serve as an industry gamechanger for the country. It empowers AIS to become a hyperscale cloud provider, enabling them to build new services faster while delivering sovereign cloud and AI capabilities for its Thai customers."
