InterCloud, a leading provider of software-defined cloud interconnection (SDCI), has strengthened its presence in the Spanish market by adding connectivity to Oracle Sovereign Cloud in Madrid. This move completes InterCloud’s interconnection offering to local regions of major public cloud providers, positioning itself as a key partner for companies developing highly complex multicloud hybrid environments in the country, and gaining control over where their data and workloads are processed and stored.
According to the “State of the Cloud in Spain 2023” report, 45% of Spanish companies have adopted a hybrid cloud strategy, and 75% of organizations in Spain state that their cloud-based infrastructures are a facilitator for achieving the agility their businesses need. InterCloud maintains a strategic alliance with Oracle and has been a FastConnect partner since 2018. As Europe’s only software-defined cloud interconnection provider, InterCloud’s customers connecting to Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud will have access to cloud connectivity capabilities, flexibility, and regulatory expertise, helping them navigate the complexity of modern cloud environments and multicloud systems while adopting new technologies.
“Companies are facing a growing and changing regulatory landscape regarding data processing and storage, and cloud providers such as Oracle, Amazon, Google, or Azure have opened local regions in Spain,” says Alejandro Gutiérrez Millán, Commercial Director for Southern Europe at InterCloud. “At InterCloud, we have been ahead of the sector and therefore already have the interconnectivity that companies need to develop their operations in the country and, consequently, in the EU.”
