Datadog plans a new data centre in Australia.
The data centre instance, which will be built on AWS, will be Datadog’s first in Australia and adds to existing locations in North America, Asia, Europe and AWS GovCloud.
Datadog currently works with more than 1,000 organisations in Australia and New Zealand including banking and financial services, retail and ecommerce, software-as-a-service and technology industries, with public sector, healthcare and higher education representing key expansion verticals.
“Australia is a high-priority market for Datadog; we already have a strong employee base in-region and aim to create new jobs across various practices this year,” said Rob Thorne, Vice President for Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ), Datadog.
“Datadog has experienced surging demand in Australia and New Zealand. Analysts forecast IT spend will reach AU$147 billion this year, with cybersecurity, generative AI and cloud services to receive significant attention. We are poised to support this appetite for advanced digital capabilities across the private sector, alongside the Australian Government’s ambitions to become a top three digital government.”
“We continue to invest in Australia and New Zealand, with the recent opening of our Melbourne office and the expansion of our teams there, as well as in Sydney and Auckland,” said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer, Datadog.
“Australian companies are innovating rapidly and rely on Datadog to support their continued cloud investments, digital transformations and AI projects.”
