AvePoint Supports Cloud-ready Australian Organisations with Locally Hosted Office 365 SaaS Software in Melbourne

Hosted on the Microsoft Azure data centre in Melbourne, AvePoint Online Services provides comprehensive management and security capabilities to Australian businesses using Office 365

AvePoint (NASDAQ: AVPT), the global leader in data security, governance, and resilience, today announced the availability of AvePoint Online Services from Microsoft’s Azure data centre in Melbourne, Australia. With this launch, AvePoint will enhance Australian businesses’ connectivity to services on Office 365, satisfy data movement concerns for organisations subject to regulation, as well as improve backup performance by hosting all content within the country.

With the launch of AvePoint Online Services from an Australian Azure data centre, Australian Office 365 customers will benefit from data sovereignty through restriction of storage to a single geographic location and the ability to reduce their environmental impact via reduction of in-house servers.

“Today’s businesses are operating in a cloud-first, mobile-first world,” said Toby Bowers, Microsoft Cloud & Enterprise Business Group Lead. “With the work that AvePoint has done to provide AvePoint Online Services platform for Office 365 from the Melbourne-based Azure data centre, organisations throughout the country can rest assured that their Office 365 backup data is staying close to home – making it simpler and safer to utilise cloud services with comprehensive solutions for management, governance, and compliance.”
