SolarWinds Sydney data centre launched

SolarWinds has announced the launch of its first IT service management (ITSM) data centre in Australia. The Sydney centre will provide service for SolarWinds Service Desk customers, improving performance and speed and meeting data sovereignty requirements.

The new ITSM data centre is set to enhance the SolarWinds software-as-a-service (SaaS)-delivered offering and expand customer availability to not only Australian customers but businesses throughout the Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region, enabling lower latency for users and delivering accelerated responsiveness and increased customer performance in the region.

The investment comes as part of the company’s regional growth in APJ, alongside the Asia-Pacific data centre for SolarWinds Observability announced previously.

“The new Sydney ITSM data centre provides a solution to the demand we’ve been seeing from customers in this space,” said Sai Krishna, SolarWinds Group Vice President, Engineering.

“A growing number of companies in the region seek to comply with data residency while delivering a great user experience.

“The launch of our first data centre in Australia demonstrates our ongoing investment in the local market and our steadfast commitment to the APJ region more broadly. Most importantly, it offers Australian organisations greater control over their data and further improves the performance of SolarWinds Service Desk in the region.”
