Together, Adarga and Oracle will help defence and security organisations to deliver mission-critical data and insights to the UK and its allies.

Adarga Vantage provides analysts, planners, and commanders with the ability to extract, contextualise, and connect information drawn from millions of internal and external sources, in over 75 languages, to enhance defence and security operations. This includes providing search, discovery, and Generative AI capabilities to augment enterprise knowledge and open-source intelligence gathering, and boost decision-making in multi-domain environments.

“Providing our customers with the ability to deploy to OCI further strengthens Adarga’s cloud- anywhere approach,” said Seb Matthews, vice president of mission engineering, Adarga. “This approach is fundamental in today’s increasingly complex operating environment, where defence organisations require technology solutions that offer flexibility, reliability, and security, without the need to be locked into a single provider.”

Oracle is the only hyperscaler capable of delivering AI and a full suite of 150+ cloud services across dedicated, public, sovereign, and hybrid cloud environments anywhere in the world, including air-gapped infrastructure on classified networks. With OCI’s sovereign and government cloud offerings, customers can meet regulatory, security, and performance requirements while getting the full benefits of the cloud and AI.

Deploying Vantage across Oracle’s distributed cloud will enable Adarga customers to maximize the value of their data and make faster and better-informed decisions while addressing security and sovereignty requirements. It will also help customers run operational applications in disrupted, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments.

Adarga will initially deploy Vantage in the Oracle Cloud for UK Government and Defence. Oracle is the only hyperscale cloud provider to offer a dual-region cloud dedicated to UK public sector and defence customers, allowing them to take advantage of OCI’s superior performance and security while maintaining sovereignty of their data. The region is built upon the UK government parameters required to store OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE data, and all Oracle personnel who access such data are UK citizens that have Security Check (SC) clearances.

“Armed forces, government, and defence organisations need to continually access, analyse, and act on intelligence faster than ever as warfare is increasingly fought on a digital battlefield,” said Bram Couwberghs, vice president of defence, Oracle EMEA. “Adarga Vantage on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure brings together a powerful AI-driven solution on an industry-leading cloud and AI infrastructure to help military organisations win.”

Vantage is underpinned by Adarga’s extensible AI platform, which includes a proprietary ecosystem of more than 35 AI models and has been built to deliver rapid AI innovation and adapt to different mission requirements in real-time and on a global scale.
