TORONTO, CA (PRWEB) JULY 27, 2016
Increasing its global footprint and with increased awareness of data protection laws, RootBSD opens its first Canadian data center in largest city, Toronto.
RootBSD expands into its first Canadian data center — its first outside the US — with the opening of its Toronto location. The company’s customers will be able to deploy cloud servers into the largest city in the country.
The new data center — available now to RootBSD customers — is directly connected to the Toronto Internet Exchange (TORIX), located in a carrier-neutral hotel in Toronto. TORIX is the largest Canadian internet exchange with over 200 members (including Akamai, Microsoft and Rogers Communications, among others) and the 11th largest in the world. The facility also offers fiber connections, meet-me-rooms, power redundancies and 24/7/365 security.
In addition, because the data center falls under Canadian law, it affords data protections not available in the US.
“RootBSD’s customers have been asking for a Canadian data center — for some of them it was because of privacy concerns — and we are happy to deliver,” Mark Price, CEO, said. “We are very excited about our recent expansion in North America and that it’s our first in Canada. Toronto is a hub of commerce and high tech development in Canada and our customers are itching to deploy here.”
Price added that RootBSD is continuing its expansion to better serve its customers, no matter what variety of *BSD they prefer, no matter where in the world they would like to be.
In addition, all RootBSD services come with a native IPv6 connection. RootBSD has provided *BSD IPv6 capable services for years. With the exhaustion of older, legacy “IPv4†address space, IPv6 capability is becoming a critical requirement for any online presence and RootBSD is able to bring that to the *BSD world.

RALEIGH, NC (PRWEB) JUNE 28, 2016
RootBSD, the hosting service that specializes in *BSD-based deployments, expands its cloud service footprint with the opening of its new data center in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong data center offers excellent, low-latency connections into the region as well as Asia, including mainland China (available through RootBSD’s premium routes) through fiber cables that route directly into the country.
The data center is located in a carrie-neutral facility that offers tier 1 backbone connections. RootBSD’s customers will be able to utilize any of the services available through the data center, which has access to the Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX) and other carriers in Asia. It also features Tier III+ fully redundant physical infrastructure, including back-up generators, cooling and dual power feeds to each rack.
“Connectivity into Asia, and especially mainland China, is of vital importance to global businesses,” Mark Price, CEO of RootBSD said. “We are very pleased and excited to offer our customers this option through Hong Kong. They’ll be able to deploy their cloud servers through a low-latency fiber connection using the variety of *BSD they prefer.”
In addition, all RootBSD services come with native IPv6 connections. RootBSD has provided *BSD IPv6 capable services for years. With the exhaustion of older, legacy “IPv4” address space, IPv6 capability is becoming a critical requirement for any online presence that RootBSD fills for the *BSD world.
