Microsoft will be the first major cloud provider to offer cloud services in New Zealand. The launch of this new region will provide an alternative to Australia for companies in the region, and better latency for New Zealand major companies and startups.
More details about this investment is available on this announcement.
Some of the cloud services that are expected to be available from the new region are:
- Microsoft Azure
- Microsoft 365
- Dynamics 365 and Power Platform
- Build-in Trust and Security
Azure, with 58 regions currently, seems poised to build on its leading position as cloud provider with the most locations globally. You can learn more about Azure’s global infrastructure through this link.
