Sysdig expands data center options to additional hosting locations to satisfy growing demand

Sysdig announced new data center options in Frankfurt, Germany and on the west coast of the United States, in Oregon, to satisfy growing demand for the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform.

The expansion of Sysdig services to additional hosting locations prepares Sysdig for the next stage of growth. The two data centers strengthen data protection standards by adding encryption at rest.

Organizations recognize the advantages that come with cloud native and are rapidly moving to containers and Kubernetes to accelerate innovation. In the current business environment, many companies are speeding cloud-native transitions, and look to Sysdig to address their security, visibility, and compliance requirements for containers.

The data centers in Germany and on the west coast of the United States are in addition to the company’s current data center on the east coast of the United States, in Virginia.

“We are adding hosting locations in response to our rapid expansion,” said Suresh Vasudevan, chief executive officer, Sysdig.

“The Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform scales to support the largest enterprise cloud deployments, while providing a fast ramp to productivity with our SaaS offering. We have several marquee customers in the EU and they prefer a local data center.”
