Liquid software company, JFrog, is set to expand its Cloud DevOps platform in Canada with new hosting centers to support JFrog software on AWS and Microsoft Azure.
In a Dec. 15 release, JFrog said Canadian-based companies will be able to purchase a subscription and deploy its platform on the public cloud, through AWS and Microsoft Azure platforms or directly through JFrog.
“Canadian businesses are increasingly looking to the cloud to help them be more agile, scalable, and optimize TCO by spreading critical workloads across multiple domains both public and private,” Shlomi Ziv, vice president of Global Cloud Solutions for JFrog said in the release. “We’re thrilled to work with our partners at AWS and Microsoft on delivering new hosting infrastructures in-region to support our joint customers’ transitions to the cloud.”
According to the release, 92% of Canadian businesses have recently transitioned to cloud computing services. Current estimates show spending on these services will amount to approximately $10.3 billion in 2023, with the JFrog platform able to help teams deliver software releases quickly and efficiently to promote innovation ahead of the competition.
Canadian-based businesses can now make use of the JFrog platform, which informs them about the data that resides locally in a safe and secure way. Its new hosting options for AWS and Microsoft Azure will provide customers with simpler administration and verification of data, higher-availability and performance, data redundancy and failover capabilities for disaster recovery and the promise that all data will be created and maintained in Canada away from surveillance of other countries, the release states.
This comes as the Canadian government places strict regulations on data residency and sovereignty, making it difficult for Canadian-based organizations to utilize public clouds if they collect or share information with others outside the border, the release states.
