In-country data centers
Migrate systems and workloads to cloud while fully supporting Saudi data residency and sovereignty mandates. No cross-border data flows, ever.
Overview
cloud speed without crossing the border.
stc Alloy brings the full depth of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, over 100 services spanning compute, databases, networking, and AI, into Saudi-owned, Saudi-operated data centers. For the first time, government and semi-government customers can run mission-critical workloads on hyperscaler-class infrastructure without exporting a single byte of data.
Every layer of the stack, physical infrastructure, virtualization, platform services, and operations, is owned, controlled, and administered within the Kingdom. That means Alloy can support workloads that simply could not run on a public cloud before: regulated financial data, patient records, defense systems, and sovereign citizen platforms.
Benefits
why government and regulated enterprises choose Alloy
Oracle's full cloud portfolio meets Saudi sovereignty. Without compromise on either.
Security and compliance
Strict physical security controls and adherence to local regulatory and certification standards. Built for the most sensitive Saudi workloads.
Full cloud ownership
Complete control over data, infrastructure, and operations within KSA borders. Operated by stc, under Saudi law, with no foreign intermediary.
Unmatched performance
Dedicated compute, optimized databases, GPU options, and high-throughput cluster networking. Sized for the most demanding national workloads.
Flexible deployment
Bare metal, dedicated virtual machines, Exadata, and VMware-based environments. The deployment model matches the workload, not the other way around.
Future-proof modernization
Advanced cloud technologies. Autonomous Database, HeatWave, GPU compute, and AI services, continuously delivered inside the Kingdom.
