CloudSigma Expands Public Cloud To Second U.S. Location
The public cloud is now available at Equinix DC6 in Washington D.C.
CloudSigma has announced that it has expanded its public cloud to a second U.S. location. In addition to its Las Vegas cloud at SwitchNAP, CloudSigma’s public cloud is now also available at Equinix’s DC6 International Business Exchange (IBX) in Washington D.C. With locations now spanning both the East and West coasts, CloudSigma can not only improve customers’ latency performance, but also provide a more convenient failover solution within U.S. borders for improved redundancy.
With CloudSigma’s dual-site U.S. hosting solution, customers can now more easily geo-balance workloads across multiple data centers, thereby keeping their data and mission-critical applications accessible in the event of a disaster or a system outage. For instance, customers already housing their data in CloudSigma’s Las Vegas-based cloud can now simply failover to its East Coast location or vice versa. What’s more, CloudSigma estimates that, if customers running Web-based services implement a two-site versus single-site U.S. location strategy, the end users of those Web services will see performance improvement of 100 percent on average latency based on key population centers.
