Interesting that the article I posted above is from Canada.

Bit of research shows that Pax8 have been kicking goals in Canada over the last 12 months.

Then you have this news released by DSE on 21 September:

Dropsuite Now Provides AWS Data Center Support in Canada
Dropsuite now provides cloud backup, archiving and restore through Amazon AWS data centers in Canada. Channel partners, hosting providers and their end user customers in Canada can now use Dropsuite’s leading SaaS backup, archiving and 1-Click restore solutions with all data remaining 100% within Canadian borders.

In addition to the AWS Canada data center, Dropsuite also has staff in Canada to provide excellent customer care.

For Canadian firms there are several benefits to this all-Canada data arrangement, including:

• Fulfills PIPEDA and IIROC regulatory requirements
• Meets data sovereignty requirements for government-related businesses
• Offers reliable and fast data access via local Amazon AWS Canada servers

“Dropsuite’s Canadian partners now have a choice of utilizing local cloud data centers in Canada,” said Dropsuite COO, Ridley Ruth. “Data sovereignty is preferred by many Canadian businesses, and in some industries it may be a requirement of PIPEDA, the Canadian Privacy Act, and/or other regulations such as IIROC.”

Canadian companies seeking to ‘Keep it in Canada,’ or ‘Buy Canadian,’ have the ability to protect their data with Dropsuite’s robust Office 365 Backup, G Suite Gmail Backup, Website Backup and Email Archiving solutions with Dropsuite’s Canadian AWS data center.

All of that together and it looks like they may be making a big push at the Canadian market with the support of Pax8.
