Industry Findings: Within Oman, cloud storage adoption continues to progress as government digitization initiatives and enterprise modernization programs expand across energy, logistics, BFSI, and public administration. Organizations increasingly rely on object and file storage to support analytics platforms, document management, and long-term data retention, while block storage remains essential for enterprise applications and transactional systems. Hybrid deployment remains the preferred operating model as organizations balance public cloud scalability with data residency, latency control, and operational resilience requirements. A structural development occurred during 2024, when regulatory oversight related to data governance and cybersecurity increased scrutiny on retention discipline, backup integrity, and recovery readiness. That shift encouraged enterprises to formalize storage lifecycle policies and expand archival capacity within compliant environments. Through 2025, storage consumption has continued to grow steadily as retained operational and regulatory data accumulates faster than compute adoption. Enterprises increasingly treat cloud storage as a long-term operational foundation, favoring subscription structures that combine predictable baseline capacity with controlled expansion to support sustained data growth.
Industry Player Insights: Market activity in Oman has increasingly centered on strengthening in-country cloud infrastructure and storage availability for regulated workloads. During Oct-2024, Oracle Cloud expanded object storage availability in its Oman cloud region to support analytics, government systems, and enterprise data platforms. In Jun-2025, the provider enhanced lifecycle and durability controls to align with long-term retention and resilience requirements. In parallel, Oracle Cloud continues to support cloud storage adoption in Oman through scalable object and block storage services delivered from domestic cloud infrastructure.
