The business analytics software provider Tableau has opened its first data centre facility outside of North America.
The Dublin facility, said the company, is available for use by existing and new Tableau Online users, irrespective of location. Existing customers can choose to migrate to their data to the Dublin-based data centre, Tableau said, while new customers can select their preferred location – either North America or Europe – when setting up their Tableau Online site.
“With the opening of our European data centre, we are responding to a desire from customers to choose where they host their data.” said James Eiloart, vice president of Tableau’s European Operations. “We take our mission to help people see and understand their data very seriously – and it’s a global mission. We will continue to invest more into both our capabilities and infrastructure to put analytics into the hands of anyone with data questions.”
Tableau reports that more than half of the 3,000 active customer accounts using its advanced cloud capabilities are outside of US, and the launch of a European-based data centre is in response to this continued international growth.
“Ensuring flexibility has always been central to Tableau’s mission,” said Eiloart. “From data solutions and deployment options, to data discovery paths, we are now enabling customers to choose where they want their cloud analytics data stored. We’ve always been committed to empowering people in their data analytics journey and this is an important milestone in that journey.”
The new data centre is ISO27001 certified and provides a disaster recovery location in Munich, Germany to ensure the highest levels of security and quality.
