Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Update: Lustre File System Now Available in Amsterdam Region

 

Oracle continues to expand its high-performance storage offerings with the introduction of Lustre File System in the Amsterdam (eu-amsterdam-1) region.

What Is Lustre?

Lustre is a parallel, high-performance file system designed for large-scale computing. It is widely used in scenarios requiring fast, concurrent access to large datasets—such as AI/ML training, big data analytics, high-performance computing (HPC), and media rendering.

With Lustre, customers can:

• Process large-scale workloads faster

• Scale file system throughput with compute nodes

• Integrate seamlessly with object storage (OCI Object Storage)

What’s New?

As of this release, Lustre File System is now generally available in the Amsterdam region, making it easier for European customers to:

• Deploy HPC workloads closer to their data sources and users

• Meet data sovereignty or compliance requirements

• Reduce latency for performance-sensitive applications

Key Benefits:

• High throughput and low-latency access to large files

• Seamless integration with Oracle Cloud compute instances

• Compatible with OCI Object Storage for persistent storage

Why It Matters

This rollout reflects Oracle’s commitment to enabling performance-intensive workloads globally, giving customers more flexibility in regional deployment and architectural design.
