Summary

DigitalOcean has launched its first Canadian datacenter in Toronto, marking a significant expansion of the company's presence in the country. The new datacenter, known as TOR1, offers highly requested features such as 40GbE networking and SSD storage, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to store their data in Canada. This move is part of DigitalOcean's commitment to providing high standards of privacy and security, and comes after a highly requested location was selected by the company. As a result, customers will now be able to take advantage of this new datacenter, which enables them to extend their existing protections and ensure that their data remains within Canada. To celebrate the launch, DigitalOcean will host events throughout October in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, providing opportunities for developers and businesses to connect and learn about the company's products.
