On a scorching November day in 2012, Sydneysiders were bracing themselves for yet another heat wave when all of a sudden they became pleasantly surprised as an elastic cloud occupied the tech skies. On November 12, 2012, Amazon announced the New Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region in Australia.
Before that, Australian customers had to reach out to Japan or Singapore for their cloud needs. That was not really feasible, as it increased up-front expenses, long-term commitments, and scaling challenges. Amazon recognized that and Sydney became another region in the world.
They have now taken it a step further. They have rendered a new Availability Zone (AZ) in Sydney. Availability zone (AZ) is basically an isolated location within data centre regions from which public cloud services originate and operate.
The new availability zone is ap-southeast-2c. This is all set to provide enhanced performance and sociability to Australian customers. This will enable them to fully leverage the potential of technologies like Lambda, the Elastic File System shared filesystem, and Amazon RDS for MS SQL Server.
Pythian’s established presence in Australia and New Zealand coupled with round the clock and world class support for AWS, SQL Server, and other cloud technologies, enables it to support Australian and New Zealand customers from the word go.
