Microsoft has announced the launch of two new Australian datacentre regions at Canberra Data Centres (CDC) to offer Australian governments access to the Microsoft Azure Stack from early 2018.
CDC built its facilities in advance as top secret, which allows Microsoft to offer services from within CDC, inheriting the characteristics already in place and thus complying with Australian government requirements.
Speaking with ZDNet ahead of the launch, Microsoft Azure Engineering Lead for Australia James Kavanagh said the two new regions in Canberra will focus on the needs of government and their suppliers and will complement Microsoft’s existing cloud services currently delivered from Sydney and Melbourne.
