IBM opens a cloud datacentre in Norway, specifically in Fetsund, around 30km outside the capital Oslo-- the 12th European facility for the company and its 48th around the globe.

IBM NorwayBig Blue describes the datacentre as an industry first in the Nordics. It is the result of a 2014 investment worth over $1 billion in the building of more facilities able to deal with growing demand for cloud computing from businesses ranging from large enterprises to startups. The company lists a number of IBM Cloud customers in the region, such as Cxense, EVRY, KONE, Opera and Sapa Group.

The datacentre provides the full range of IBM Cloud services, including bare metal and virtual servers, storage, security services and networking. All can be deployed on demand with full remote access and control, and the datacentre is connected to other IBM public datacentres on the continent and around the world to allow for easy data transfer and replication in multiple locations.

“We enable our partners and clients to keep their data securely within the country, while being able to leverage existing IT investments, which is a key differentiator for IBM,” the company adds. “Local access to IBM’s global network of public cloud data centers provides the ideal flexibility for our customers. The new cloud data center is designed to fuel support for innovation and quick adoption of new solutions that will help improve business efficiency.”
