Australia’s cloud computing market is forecast to grow by 12.5% by 2025. Cloud spending by small and medium-sized enterprises is expected to grow slightly faster than enterprise organisations. DigitalOcean cited Sydney’s strong and growing technology business environment as the motivation behind its investment. In addition, the city’s telecommunications connectivity options, including submarine communications cables connecting directly to the US and Asia, made Sydney an ideal choice.
DigitalOcean is headquartered in New York and operates 15 data centres worldwide serving more than 600,000 customers across 185 countries.
