Appcore Brings Reduced Latency, Proximity and Ease of Use to Asia-Pacific Cloud Computing

DES MOINES, Iowa, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Appcore, provider of the industry's only complete automated cloud computing platform, today announced their newest high availability zone location in Hong Kong. The addition of the zone to the Appcore cloud network will contribute to its vision of a cloud federation for customers.

Managed availability zones streamline operations, ease overall cloud management, and increase availability. By creating an additional zone opposite its first, Appcore will be able to speed the delivery of static, streaming and dynamic content to end users in the Asia-Pacific market.

"We are excited about our new expansion as many of our customers have been looking for both a disaster recovery solution and hosting site, located close to home and managed by a reputable company," said Brenda Fonseca, Appcore Director of Operations – United States. "Appcore provides just this for our customers and will continue to provide quality services as we expand in the Asia-Pacific market and beyond." 

Using multiple availability zones is a good strategy for high availability. Customers may use availability zones, along with other measures, to engineer the degree of high availability that they desire and provide a superior disaster recovery and hosting site wherever their customers are located with reduced latency, local proximity to the customer and local governance of data sovereignty.

"The availability of the Hong Kong zone will further reduce time during the disaster recovery process for our customers in the region, making it one of the most effective recovery solutions in the industry," said Brian Donaghy, Founder and CEO of Appcore.

In a release earlier this year, Appcore announced its expansion into the Asia-Pacific market as it opened offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines. This new zone, much like its United States zone, will act as a disaster recovery and hosting site for customers in their new market.

After receiving several customer requests from the Asia-Pacific market, Appcore was pushed into the market to meet business demands, according to its expansion release in January. This newest zone will be a high availability infrastructure, meaning that no single component outage can cause the entire zone to go out of commission, ensuring it is always available for users.
