Dimension Data expands MCP footprint with four new data centers

NEW YORK, USA: Dimension Data announced the addition of four new global cloud data centers to address the ongoing demand for enterprise-class cloud services.

The new locations are Ashburn, Virginia; Melbourne, Australia; London, UK and Sao Paulo, Brazil. These new facilities bring the total number of Managed Cloud Platform (MCP) locations to 11, with multiple data centers in each of the Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Australia regions.

Dimension Data's MCPs host the company's public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and managed hosting services. Each MCP provides end-users with low-latency access to secure, reliable, enterprise-class public, private and hosted private cloud services.

Steve Nola, CEO of Dimension Data's cloud business unit, said: "Best-effort cloud providers do not meet the data sovereignty and security needs of global enterprises. By continuing to expand our footprint of global network-centric cloud availability, Dimension Data is helping our clients to leverage the cloud for enterprise and web applications globally."
