ORACLE Corporation will be the top candidate to be TikTok's partner in the United States. As quoted from Tech Crunch, according to The Information report, sources consisting of investors, bankers, and former executives familiar with ByteDance revealed that the company prefers Oracle.
Since 2022, TikTok has been using Oracle servers to store user data in the United States. ByteDance still wants to maintain an active role in managing TikTok, with Oracle as a partner.
About Oracle
Referring to the Oracle website, the company was first founded by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates in 1977. They first established the company under the name Software Development Laboratories based in Santa Clara, California.
Over time, the company changed its name to Oracle Corporation in 1982. The company has expanded its reach by offering various information technology solutions, including cloud services and business applications.
In September 2020, Oracle was announced as a suitable cloud technology provider for TikTok. This decision was heavily influenced by Zoom's success in moving most of its video conferencing capacity to the Oracle Public Cloud. "TikTok chose Oracle's latest Generation 2 Cloud infrastructure because of the significantly better speed, reliability, and security compared to the first-generation technology from other leading cloud providers," said Larry Ellison, Oracle's Chief Technology Officer as quoted from Oracle.com.
In the 2020 Industry CloudPath survey released by IDC, which involved 935 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) customers, Oracle IaaS scored the highest satisfaction compared to other leading IaaS vendors. "As part of this deal, TikTok will run on the Oracle Cloud, and Oracle will become a minority investor in TikTok Global," said Safra Catz, CEO of Oracle.
She explained that they want to increase scale and manage the TikTok system on the Oracle Cloud. "We are very confident in our ability to provide a highly secure environment for TikTok and to protect user data privacy in America and worldwide."
Oracle Generation 2 Cloud is designed from the ground up to fully isolate running applications and independently respond to security threats. Oracle will integrate cloud technology with ongoing code reviews, monitoring, and audits.
As quoted from Antara, since January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to postpone the deadline set by ByteDance. The company has an additional 75 days to find a buyer based in America to allow TikTok to operate in the country.
