Cybersecurity vendor Sophos has announced plans to open data centres in Sydney in August to help provide critical additional regional capacity for Sophos Central.
The new facility will be hosted in AWS and opened alongside facilities in Montreal, Canada, in July and in Tokyo, Japan, in September, adding to Sophos’ existing data centres in the United States, Ireland and Germany.
“The Sophos Australian data centre will be based in a secure AWS data centre, and all implementation, architecture, security, and operations of the Sophos Central platform will be performed by Sophos,” the company said in a statement to CRN.
The new capacity aims to support the growing global demand for Sophos Central, the company’s cloud management platform running Sophos’ cybersecurity product portfolio.

Security vendor Sophos plans to open a data centre in Sydney in August.
In order to provide additional regional capacity for the Sophos Central cloud platform for its security products, Sophos says it will open new data centres in Montreal in July, in Sydney in August, and in Tokyo in September.
They will add to the existing capacity in the United States, Ireland and Germany.
The move will give more customers the opportunity to use an in-country data centre to store, manage and access Sophos Central data. As a global leader in cybersecurity, Sophos understands the growing need to provide solutions to data sovereignty for organisations with strict national or local regulatory or policy requirements, said Sophos APJ regional vice president Gavin Struthers.
