US software company Oracle has repeated its plans to create a massive Korean data centre by H1 2019. With the intention of growing its cloud services in South Korea, the company will follow rivals Amazon and Microsoft in becoming the third US firm to launch a data centre in the East Asian country. Korea has been slow to adopt cloud technology as a result of strict security regulations, such as prohibiting the use of private cloud services for public offices. Oracle aims to change this with its AI-powered software, and could open a Seoul centre in the end of 2019.
