Salesforce Data Center going live in December

SINGAPORE DATA CENTRE COMES ONLINE

Peter J Cooper (Singapore) of www.alturnal.com reports:

The salesforce.com Singapore data centre is coming on line in Dec 08 or Jan 09 (might be a little late but not much) they are using a US owned facility based here in a good part of the island with excellent connectivity and some blue chip neighbours in the same centre.

The facility was requested by prospective clients form the financial services industry that require data to be held for their clients in a safe and independent jurisdiction.

Bringing the facility online has been much disussed by SFDC and requested by clients so bringing it online will deliver on a long outstanding commitment. Full and transparent integration with existing salesforce.com infrastructure is expected but there has been some local speculation there may have to be some compromises. There is has been no hard data to support this claim however.

It will be the first outside datacentre holding the full salesforce.com product offering outside the USA.

I have to admit I was a little late in picking up on this story, if anyone has a link to any additional posts about this please post to comments.
