Advanced Info Service (AIS), one of Thailand’s largest mobile network operators, has announced its plans to deploy Oracle Alloy and launch AIS Cloud, the country’s first locally owned and operated hyperscale cloud. This strategic move will provide AIS customers, including public sector enterprises, access to over 100 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services, featuring advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. AIS Cloud aims to address local data residency and sovereignty requirements, such as Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and the Cybersecurity Act, while ensuring business resilience through in-country disaster recovery capabilities.
AIS Cloud, operated from two AIS data centers in Thailand, will offer local support and ensure customer information remains within the country, complying with regulatory standards across various industries. The deployment of Oracle Alloy will enable AIS to extend OCI services to public and private sector organizations, as well as its managed service partners. This initiative will allow businesses to repatriate their existing cloud environments from overseas or transition from on-premises to AIS Cloud within Thailand, significantly enhancing operational resiliency and compliance.
