The e& telecom group has revealed that the stage following the deployment of its OneCloud platform, a solution developed in partnership with Oracle Alloy, marks a new direction for the UAE in its focus on maintaining control over its digital landscape. The new system will deliver more than 200 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services while ensuring that sensitive data stays within the country’s borders.
The platform, which is a traditional global offering, will be completely based in data centers from the UAE. Such a setup ensures that the platform will have less delay and more uptime, and it will also comply with strict regulations. Additionally, users of OneCloud are provided with access to AI ready infrastructure, open service level agreements, and versatile pay as you go pricing schemes.
The expanded platform also introduces advanced networking capabilities for critical workloads. Businesses can connect easily across private, public, or multi-cloud environments, while receiving a single point of contact for billing, support, and ongoing services.
Khalid Murshed, CEO of e& Enterprise, described the initiative as part of a broader effort to strengthen the UAE’s digital economy. He said the collaboration allows leaders to scale AI adoption, modern applications, and data-driven services while maintaining local oversight. “This is about accelerating innovation, strengthening trust and giving every organisation the confidence to grow on UAE soil,” he explained.
Oracle executives highlighted a parallel shift in global priorities. Richard Smith, president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in EMEA, pointed out that governments and businesses now view data sovereignty and localization as central to cloud deployments. He mentioned that Oracle Alloy provides partners such as e& the capability to be vendors in their local markets, delivering AI and cloud services without violating compliance.
The introduction of this event in the UAE symbolizes the merging of two concepts the country being a stronghold of innovation and the principle of technological sovereignty. The duo’s objective is to equip tech driven firms with the benefits of worldwide innovations while still preserving a local governance framework.
