TORONTO – U.S. network and cloud-hosting provider Linode has opened its tenth global data centre in Toronto, allowing its Canadian customers to deploy cloud workloads on homegrown soil.
According to a company blog post, Linode Toronto was built using the latest server builds, is connected to its global backbone, and meets the in-country data compliance requirements of the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
“Roughly one-third of Canada’s developer community calls Toronto home, making it a natural fit for our newest data center and the tens of thousands of Canadian customers who rely on us,” reads the post. “Toronto includes availability of all Linode features and services similar to our other data centers at standard Linode pricing.”
Customers with Linodes in other data centers wishing to move to Toronto can clone them to the new facility. For new Linodes, users must choose “Toronto” as the location when creating their cloud instance.
