Vultr, one of the world’s fastest-growing independent providers of cloud infrastructure, has announced the launch of its cloud data center location in Melbourne.
The move brings Vultr’s high-performance cloud infrastructure to Australian businesses and developers, offering an alternative to large incumbents.
Vultr’s newest cloud data center location is in Melbourne and it empowers businesses and developers across Australia to innovate more quickly.
J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Constant, the creator of Vultr, said: “Our cloud data center launch in Melbourne embodies our strategy of supporting innovative cities with high demand for cloud and Edge Computing and a large community of skilled developers. This strategy brings significantly decreased latency to end-users by placing computing power closer to them.”
Leigh Spiegel, CTO of racehorse auction house Magic Millions, said: “Magic Millions sells thoroughbred race horses largely via online auctions, and we rely on Vultr to power our video and web servers. We’ve found Vultr’s performance to be excellent, and we’ve also appreciated that the platform has allowed us to keep costs fairly low for some very network-intensive use cases. We’re thrilled that, with its Melbourne launch, Vultr is further enhancing its presence in our home country of Australia.”
Vultr has experienced global success with its alternative pricing model, and now operates data centers in 23 countries including Spain, Poland, India and Japan.
