IBM announces the start of operations of the Cloud Multizone Region

The IBM company announced the start of operations of its first IBM Cloud Multizone Region (MZR) team in the Latin American region.

This represents a significant expansion in terms of the industry’s presence in cloud computing. Building on its existing data centers in the region, the MZR is the result of IBM’s continued investment to accelerate hybrid cloud adoption and help drive business growth in Latin America, especially as companies across Industries accelerate their digital transformation plans as a result of Covid-19.

“Companies throughout Latin America are accelerating their digital transformation, in order to be prepared for uncertainties and rapid market changes, and to offer the best experiences to their end customers,” said Tonny Martins, General Manager of IBM Latin America .

This network was designed to operate at low latency and with high security mechanisms, all this while helping clients to be able to comply with the requirements regarding data sovereignty, intended in part for clients in regulated industries such as financial services, government, telecommunications, among others.

While businesses have faced unique challenges throughout the pandemic, business continuity has never been more important. By connecting three remote Availability Zones, all independent of each other, customers in Latin America hosting workloads on IBM Cloud can be assured that a potential failure would affect a single zone, meaning they can continuously run workloads critical mission in hybrid cloud environments and keep the business running.
