Oracle has introduced a groundbreaking solution for national security operations with its new Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated service, announced at the Oracle Defense Tech Summit in Austin, Texas on June 17, 2025.
The new offering provides a completely air-gapped cloud environment that can be disconnected from the internet, giving government agencies, defense ministries, and intelligence organizations the required level of security and control for handling classified and confidential data. This sovereign cloud service addresses the growing need for secure infrastructure that can support advanced AI applications while maintaining strict data sovereignty requirements.
"Protecting national security has always been a top priority for Oracle," said Matt Leonard, vice president of edge cloud product management at Oracle. "Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated is designed to help regulated industries benefit from the cloud and AI, while also providing the flexibility to deploy anywhere."
The service delivers the same compute, storage, and networking capabilities available in Oracle's standard cloud offerings, but in a secure, isolated environment. It will help organizations accelerate AI innovation and improve operational efficiency while maintaining complete control over their data and infrastructure. Oracle's Fast-Start deployment path can deliver the solution on-premises in just six to eight weeks, enabling defense customers to quickly begin their cloud migration wherever missions require support.
Customers can choose a phased approach, starting with tactical edge computing through Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated deployments, and eventually scaling up to a hyperscale, air-gapped Oracle Cloud Isolated Region. This flexibility allows defense and intelligence agencies to adapt the solution to their specific security needs and operational requirements.
"As digital services become the operational backbone—from logistics to command and control—forces need connectivity that moves with the mission," noted Andy Laidler, chief digital officer at Fujitsu Defence and National Security, an Oracle partner. The new offering will be available globally later in 2025, providing secure access to data and AI capabilities anywhere, anytime, and under all conditions to help propel mission success.
