Zendesk To Launch New European Data Centre In Germany

(RTTNews) - Zendesk, Inc. (ZEN) announced plans to launch a new European data centre in Frankfurt beginning in the second quarter of 2015, as the company continues to expand the number of organizations using its customer service platform in Germany and throughout Europe.

According to Zendesk, it will be one of the first U.S.-based cloud software companies to operate a data centre in Germany.

The new data centre comes after Zendesk previously invested in the German market with the opening of an official office in Berlin and expansion of the local team.

The company is witnessing increased demand from customers to understand and control where their data is hosted. The new data centre will provide enterprise customers with operations in Germany the option to have data on the Zendesk customer service platform hosted, persistently stored and backed up within Germany.

The Frankfurt data centre will join Zendesk's first European data centre opened in March 2013 in Dublin. With two European data centres, Zendesk will have more options for replicating data and providing disaster recovery within the European Union.
