Oracle has announced the launch of its “Defense Industrial Base Isolated Cloud Environment,” a new secure and isolated cloud deployment option. Thanks to this environment, defense providers can collaborate more effectively within Oracle’s national security regions, air-gapped infrastructures designed to meet the strictest government classification standards. The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) brings together thousands of contractors and partners who design, develop, and manufacture essential mission systems, platforms, and combat technologies for the US military’s digital power.
These organizations require secure environments to conduct classified research and development activities, system integration, testing and evaluation, as well as mission support for Department of Defense programs across all conflict domains. With the DIB Isolated Cloud, these entities can now access Oracle’s isolated cloud infrastructure while rigorously complying with security standards and Department of Defense classification protocols. This solution extends existing classified independent research and development environments on-site to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, ensuring compliance with SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network) and JWICS (Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System) boundaries.
Crucially, this new cloud environment allows multiple members of the defense industrial base to collaborate securely on joint classified programs. Furthermore, the DIB Isolated Cloud will help accelerate program schedules and enhance mission efficiency by providing users with granular access controls to workloads and resources within isolated environments. Other benefits of this new cloud option include access to advanced cloud-native capabilities for classified workloads. This enables defense providers to leverage modern cloud technologies for classified R&D and mission system development through access to cutting-edge AI models, high-performance computing, and autonomous database services in isolated “Secret” and “Top-Secret” environments. Secure R&D: it provides a controlled and compliant environment for AI research and collaboration within Oracle’s national security regions, allowing DIB organizations to scale and deploy AI with confidence, from development to production.
Significant financial benefits: the solution reduces infrastructure costs by offering predictable pricing based on classification levels, allowing defense base teams to reinvest savings in innovation. Faster program execution: it expedites the delivery of critical capabilities to fighters by reducing integration lead times and minimizing coordination costs through real-time collaboration capabilities.
