Cloud Hosting Firm Rackspace to Open Sydney Data Center in December
Cloud hosting provider Rackspace announced on Wednesday that it will open a data center in Sydney, Australia by the end of the year. This announcement comes two months after Amazon launched an edge location in Sydney. Sydney is a key financial center in Asia-Pacific, and with its new data center in Erskine Park, Rackspace will be better equipped to serve its cloud customers in the region, which are already served out of its Hong Kong data center. A report by PC World indicates that part of the reason for the expansion was to comply with Australia’s privacy laws, which aim to ensure data can not be accessed by overseas third parties without fulfilling Australian legal obligations.
