Oracle is set to deploy GPU-based infrastructure in a dedicated Digital Realty data center in Northern Virginia.
The move is part of a collaboration between the two companies to provide artificial intelligence (AI) services for enterprises.
According to Digital Realty's website, the company has 16 data centers in Northern Virginia that are move-in ready. Which facility the Oracle collaboration will be deployed in has not been shared.
The GPU deployment will use Digital Realty's PlatformDigital data center solution.
Patrick Cyril, global VP of technical sales & customer excellence – Revenue operations at Oracle, said: "We're excited to be working with Digital Realty to bring innovative solutions to the market that empower our enterprise customers workloads and their ecosystems to harness the boundless possibilities of AI. Together, we're not just pioneering technology; we're unlocking a future where every challenge is met with unparalleled innovation and every opportunity is maximized."
Chris Sharp, CTO of Digital Realty added: "We're delighted to build upon our relationship with Oracle and enable the next generation of hybrid and private AI adoption among enterprises. Together, we're bringing the extensive capabilities of the cloud to enterprises' private data sets through secure interconnection, unlocking new data-driven business outcomes."
The two companies have had a long-standing relationship. In 2018, it was shared that Digital Realty would be offering direct links to Oracle Cloud from 59 data centers across 14 metropolitan areas via FastConnect. There are currently only 11 points of presence as per the latest announcement.
