Customer and partner demand drives expansion into Melbourne
November 6, 2018 – In response to increased demand from enterprises, partners and SaaS providers in Australia, award-winning global cloud service provider, iland, today expanded its geographic reach by adding a new cloud region in Melbourne. The new region will support iland’s full suite of secure cloud services, built on top of iland’s Secure CloudSM Platform, including Infrastructure as a Service, Disaster Recovery as a Service and Backup as a Service.
The new region allows customers to replicate and backup their iland cloud services between Melbourne and Sydney, maintaining data sovereignty within Australia, and offering an added layer of resiliency to their virtual workloads. As iland’s ninth global data centre, the Melbourne location strengthens iland’s presence in Asia-Pacific Region (APAC) complimenting its existing cloud regions in Singapore and Sydney, and its global cloud regions in the Americas and EMEA.
Since launching the iland Secure Cloud Platform in Sydney, and establishing its APAC headquarters in North Sydney in 2017, iland has seen significant partner and customer traction. This has led to ongoing expansion of iland sales and support teams in the region. This support, combined with iland’s advanced security and compliance—including ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI, ITIL, BS10012, HIPAA, and CJIS certifications—provide an unmatched level of cloud services for APAC.
‘We are thrilled to be extending our award-winning secure cloud services to Melbourne. Our partners and customers need more options in APAC and we are ready to deliver our enterprise-class secure cloud, disaster recovery and backup services,’ said Tony Stratton, iland’s Director for APAC Region.
‘iland has professionally shown great customer service and strategic assistance with assisting the National Gallery of Victoria in our cloud backup strategy,’ said James Hosking, IT Manager, National Gallery of Victoria.
