Ninefold engineers have commenced the build of the IC2-based facility which will be open for private beta mid-November with the full launch scheduled before Christmas. “It’s exciting to be the first cloud computing company in Australia to offer a third availability zone,” said Ninefold co-founder Peter James.

Ninefold’s third Availability Zone allows customers to architect with greater redundancy to ensure the best-possible availability of their website, application or service and provides an additional safeguard for customer data.”
