SAP Hybris will begin operating a new data centre in Sydney from the end of Q3 2016 – the first in the APJ region for the customer engagement and commerce solution provider.
It will be the first data centre added to SAP Hybris’ network since 2013, when its Frankfurt location went live. SAP Hybris also has another data centre located in Boston.
The new Sydney data centre, to be housed in a data centre facility, will host SAP Hybris Commerce, Cloud Edition, and SAP Hybris-as-a-Service (YaaS).
A statement by a SAP Hybris spokesperson said, “the new facility addresses the requirements of many Australian public and private sector organisations that are eager to transition to the cloud, but have concerns about hosting data offshore”.
“The investment is also part of SAP’s global strategy to provide full security and regional data compliance to all its customers,” the spokesperson said.
SAP Hybris said it will release more information on the data centre closer to its launch in Q3.
SAP Australia opened a data centre in Sydney in 2014 to provide customers with local access to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and last year, a data centre in Canberra to support Federal Government agencies.
