Rackspace has opened in Australia too though right? They launched it a few months ago.
It's s necessary thing since you can't store any customer-identifying data offshore without explicit permission (see National Privacy Principles).
- andrewf 14y agoEDIT: Awww.. Rackspace's support chat person tells me they don't do cloud hosting in Australia. The cloud links on rackspace.com.au subtly point to the US site and US pricing. And the only way to get their non-cloud pricing for AU is for a sales rep from the AU office to call me back.
- asher_ 14y agoThey are opening their DC in Sydney in Q1 next year. Cloud servers wont be there at launch but will come "in the months to follow". I'm looking forward to that too.
- thejosh 14y agoRackspace is currently not in Australia... if it was we would use them in a heartbeat.
- bretpiatt 14y agoWe (I work for Rackspace) announced a DC there recently and private cloud OpenStack solutions: http://www.rackspace.com/blog/rackspace-comes-to-australiaand-brings-our-openstack-solution-too/ http://www.rackspace.com/blog/rackspace-comes-to-australiaan... Should we consider public cloud?
- te_chris 14y agoYes Yes Yes!! I live in NZ and hosting options here are even more expensive. Something close, properly provisioned and at low latency would be fantastic.
- thejosh 14y agoWe use Rackspace Sites for our most of our clients who don't need servers, HOWEVER... I would love to see Public Cloud Servers for Rackspace as we love the US Based Rackspace servers (but you would make our year if you had rackspace servers in Australia).
