Zscaler has launched a new co-located data center in Canberra and a second co-located data center in Auckland.
This investment will now offer public and private sector enterprises in Australia and New Zealand greater resilience in support of their Zero Trust cybersecurity posture.
The new sites have been added as part of Zscaler’s on-going investment across its operations in Australia and New Zealand and will complement the existing Zscaler data center infrastructures in both Sydney and Melbourne, all of which are co-located within Equinix data centers.
At the same time, the new Canberra data center will assist in providing an increase in capacity to address a significant rise in demand from public sector organizations.
“Successful organizations of any size realize that any disruption, regardless of how small a security incident, will have an impact on the business as a whole,” said Steve Singer, Regional Vice President, Australia at Zscaler.
“At present, we support more than a million users from Australia on our platform and these numbers are set to escalate. Bringing new data center facilities to Canberra and Auckland puts our industry-leading Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform closer to our customers.
“Our new data center infrastructure will further support any new programs which the new Federal Government and Minister for Cybersecurity may launch to further build awareness of the Essential Eight and continue to reinforce the need for on-going cyber-vigilance.”
