Azure data centre in NZ

Microsoft have released some huge news with the announcement of their first data center region in New Zealand. It shows Microsoft's continued commitment to NZ and will ultimately result in better performance for Microsoft 365 and Azure products. For Disaster Recovery scenarios it makes NZ much more standalone and not dependent on internet connections that cross the ditch.

 

Three new data centre builds are planned across the Auckland region. The cloud services being deployed here will be Azure, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics. Currently there are no confirmed timelines but it is understood the intent for commencement is around 24/36 months.
