e& enterprise to launch UAE-sovereign OneCloud powered by Oracle Alloy
e& enterprise, the digital transformation arm of global technology group e&, has announced plans to launch the next generation of OneCloud, a UAE-sovereign hyperscale cloud platform powered by Oracle Alloy. The initiative will deliver more than 200 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and AI services entirely hosted within the UAE, ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory and sovereignty requirements.
Operated and managed by e& enterprise, OneCloud combines global cloud innovation with local control, offering low-latency performance, high availability, and AI-ready infrastructure from UAE-based data centres. The platform provides data residency guarantees, transparent service-level agreements (SLAs), usage-based pricing, and 24/7 managed services.
Driving AI-powered digital innovation
As the UAE strengthens its position as a global hub for artificial intelligence and digital innovation, sovereign cloud capabilities are becoming vital for government entities, regulated sectors, and enterprises. OneCloud enables organisations to modernise, scale, and deploy AI-powered applications while ensuring all infrastructure and data remain securely in-country.
The platform offers a fully integrated stack across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, with embedded AI and Gen AI services. This allows public institutions and private sector leaders to confidently migrate and modernise IT portfolios in a secure and compliant environment.
Leadership perspectives
Khalid Murshed, CEO of e& enterprise, said:
“With OneCloud powered by Oracle Alloy, we are establishing a sovereign cloud fabric for the UAE’s digital economy. It brings the breadth of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) together with local governance and the expertise of e& enterprise, enabling leaders to scale AI, modern applications, and data-led services at home. This is about accelerating innovation, strengthening trust, and giving every organisation the confidence to grow on UAE soil.”
Richard Smith, Executive Vice President and General Manager, EMEA Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle, added:
“Oracle Alloy is a complete cloud infrastructure platform that enables Oracle partners like e& to become cloud providers and deliver a full range of cloud and AI services while meeting local regulatory and compliance requirements. Data sovereignty and localisation are now critical considerations for cloud and AI deployments in the UAE and beyond.”
