State-of-the-art facility expands compute
capabilities for small businesses with low latency links to North
America and Asia
DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DOCN), the cloud for
developers, startups and SMBs, today announced it is expanding its
global presence with a new data center in Sydney, Australia (SYD1).
This new facility will better support DigitalOcean’s current and
prospective customers who are based in or have end-users in
Australia and New Zealand. Sydney is the ninth global region to
house a DigitalOcean data center and the fifteenth facility
overall.
The SYD1 data center features the most up-to-date network
architecture and is connected to DigitalOcean's private internet
edge and backbone network, providing 400 Gbps of on-net access to
Asia, North America, and Europe. This reduces dependency on public
internet and, as a result, mitigates jitter, latency and packet
loss for users. All equipment has redundant network and power
connections that can route traffic smartly in case of unexpected
failures, making for a reliable and secure experience.
“With hundreds of thousands of current customers using our
global network today, we’re excited to expand the breadth and
capability of our infrastructure to better serve small and
medium-sized business (SMB) customers in Australia, New Zealand and
the surrounding region,” said DigitalOcean CEO, Yancey Spruill.
“This state-of-the-art data center will provide low-latency
connectivity and our IaaS and PaaS productivity tools for startup
businesses and SMBs in these important, rapidly growing
markets.”
The cloud computing market in Australia is expected to grow
12.5% by 2025, with cloud spending by SMBs expected to grow
marginally faster than enterprise organizations. The strong and
growing technology business landscape in Australia and in
particular Sydney, coupled with the telecommunications connectivity
options, including submarine communications cables connecting
directly to the United States and Asia, made Sydney an ideal choice
for the next DigitalOcean data center.
“This new data center was built with our small business
customer’s needs in mind,” said Gabe Monroy, Chief Product Officer
at DigitalOcean. “Scalability, availability, and security have been
top priorities for our customers and were baked into this build,
ensuring that end customers always have a great and secure
experience.”
The Sydney facility will provide direct connectivity to the
market and improve the overall experience of end customers
utilizing applications hosted on the DigitalOcean platform. SYD1
will also provide seamless peering with hyperscalers, making a
multi-cloud strategy simple for SMBs and startups who utilize more
than one cloud provider.
Beginning today, users can deploy droplets, spin up DigitalOcean
Kubernetes clusters, provision a managed database, or utilize any
other DigitalOcean product from the SYD1 region.
