SaaS business software provider Zoho has announced the opening of two Canadian data centres, in Toronto and Montreal, offering Canadian customers localized storage and processing. Effective immediately, all new Canadian customers will be serviced from those locations, the company’s 13th and 14th globally, with existing customers being migrated over time.
Chandrashekar LSP, managing director of Zoho Canada, said that data will be replicated between the sites to provide redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities.
“Given the significance of privacy regulations and performance requirements, many Canadian organizations are placing an increased emphasis on data sovereignty, data residency and enhanced security,” he said. “This emphasis is especially applicable for large enterprises, including those in government, banking and financial service sectors.”
