US technology giant #Oracle is poised to unveil a major investment in its Australian operations, setting up its cloud platform and infrastructure services in the country as part of a global push to try and compete with the likes of #Amazon Web Services, #Google and #Microsoft in selling computing power. Oracle already sells cloud-based software products in Australia, but previously any local customers wanting to use Oracle to provide its computing capacity or run its applications would have had it hosted overseas. Recently appointed Oracle Australia and New Zealand managing director Rob Willis declined to say how much it was costing to set up its own data centre infrastructure in Australia, but conceded it was a "huge" investment, which the company felt was necessary in order to expand its local presence and pick up new customers in small and medium-sized operations.
