August 5, 2016 By Cao Leave a Comment

RootBSD, recently announced a data center opening in Toronto, along with dedicated servers in Hong Kong. This adds on to their expansion to datacenters in San Jose, CA and Dallas, TX. The most popular plan is the Lambda plan, for those who are looking to start hosting on BSD.

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.

“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.”
