Buon anno! Il 2014 è stato un anno fantastico per Linode e siamo entusiasti di tutti i progetti che abbiamo in programma per il 2015. Ecco un'anticipazione dei nostri piani di espansione del datacenter.
Singapore, SG
Innanzitutto, espanderemo la nostra presenza nella regione Asia-Pacifico con un datacenter a Singapore. Questa nuova struttura supporterà tutti i servizi Linode esistenti, tra cui NodeBalancers, Backups, IPv6 nativo, e sarà dotata di server di ultima generazione basati su SSD e connettività a 40 Gbit per ogni macchina host. La struttura sarà una fantastica alternativa/complemento alla nostra sede di Tokyo, con un'ottima connettività verso Australia, Cina, Hong Kong, India e il resto dell'Asia.
La maggior parte dell'hardware di rete e dei server è stata installata e il nostro team spera che Singapore sia pronta per i clienti Linodes. nelle prossime settimane entro la fine di aprile. Purtroppo, alcune apparecchiature Cisco sono in arretrato fino all'inizio di aprile. Nel frattempo, stiamo aggiungendo altri fornitori di transito e peer per migliorare la connettività all'interno della regione. (aggiornato al 2015-03-10)
Francoforte, Germania
Stiamo anche espandendo la nostra presenza in Europa con l'insediamento a Francoforte, in Germania. Questa struttura si affiancherà a quella del Regno Unito. È interessante notare che oltre il 35% di tutto il traffico cloud europeo passa per Francoforte e questa sede consentirà ai clienti di rispettare la legge federale tedesca sulla protezione dei dati ( Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG) ospitando i loro dati sul territorio tedesco. Francoforte si trova inoltre in una posizione centrale nell'Europa continentale e riteniamo che questa sia una sede ideale per tutta l'Europa.
La distribuzione di Linode Frankfurt arriverà nei prossimi mesi.
Tokyo, Giappone
La nostra struttura di Tokyo è stata un grande successo. Tanto che abbiamo esaurito tutte le risorse disponibili. I linoidi a Tokyo sono limitati e il datacenter è spesso esaurito. Sebbene Singapore rappresenti un'ottima alternativa per la presenza in questa regione, stiamo valutando la possibilità di aprire un secondo datacenter a Tokyo.
Rimanete sintonizzati per l'annuncio ufficiale di queste nuove sedi e di altri interessanti sviluppi in arrivo!

It is really good news,
Do you plan some speed tests for this datacenters?
It is best to test before to buy. Please update your page (https://www.linode.com/speed-test) with new locations.
I look forward to seeing an ETA for the Linode Moon datacenter, for the off-site-est of failovers.
Will the Singapore DC be peering with Equinix?
Can we migrate our VPSes from London to Frankfurt, Germany on demand? Even with the reasonable fee.
Great! What about South America?
@Alexey – any VPS can be migrated, you just need to submit a ticket for it, as far as I know 🙂
@Chris: Looks like their resolvers are already up. Try a traceroute to resolver1.singapore.linode.com
@james: Thanks, looks like it has the normal issue of most Australian carriers sending traffic via Hong Kong, Tokyo or the US.
congratulations! So happy for you!
Great, waiting for Singapore.
Will move my linode there as soon as its launched.
Unfortunately the main cable from aus -> sg was cut (again) so yeah. Was getting good routes prior to that incident 🙂
Just looked it up and you are right the SEA-ME-WE-3 was cut again.
Amazing new year. Good to see three new locations.
Early days?
Thailand to SG > 300ms. It is critical with Singapore to be on either the Equinix open peering exchange thing or SIX, even with a blend of Pacnet/NTT/whatever local/regional peering is essential. DigitalOcean were quick to realize this and now. But congratulations, I look forward to seeing this. Thanks
Ah YEAH!
I am been using Linode for last one year, and I will move to SG node once it is launched. Cheers.
WOOOO! Great job Linode!
Excellent, looking forward to Frankfurt, DE!
Great!
I hope the link USEU will be speeeeed
Fantastic!
Of course, I will keep on holding out hope for an Aussie datacentre too. 🙂
(And, I assume thanks to that cable cut mentioned by some commenters above, it’s currently 400ms to Singapore from my Western Australian location – via a nice tour of the west coast of the US!).
Yes, connectivity to AU should be much improved before we launch!
Very Good !
I have a linode on Fremont, CA, USA. The speed of it is little slow (often more 190ms and packages missed) when accessed from China / Hong Kong.
Today, I want to add a new linode on Tokyo, but the system tell me: “The plan you selected is not available. Please choose a different plan and try again”.
Waiting for 2nd Tokyo datacenter ~
Thanks,
/Valinv
Excellent job, waiting for the Singapore datacenter!
thats great , i was thinking to get a London node to serve my visitors who are mostly in the middle east so i am definitely getting the Frankfurt one ,
does anyone know the ip address for london i want to check the speed
@khaled You can test connectivity to London via our speedtest: https://www.linode.com/speedtest
Amazing News…welcome Linode SG
I still waiting…
I will move All my vps to LINODE SG…
Singapore,
I’m coming …
Just love Linode’s vps in Tokyo!!! ~40ms from where I am… fast, stable, nothing but excellence!!! Waiting for and looking forward to your upcoming products in Tokyo!!!
So excited for Linode SG !!!!
I hope Linode opens a new datacenter in Japan. Singapore is located at the heart of Southeast Asia with great connectivity, but as a born citizen actively engaged in local politics, I’m wary of my own non-transparent government and will never host any major server here. Look up our dismal press freedom index, human rights record, and repressive legislation if you think I’m being paranoid. We’re a modern police state.
@Stephen thanks, I’ll try to file a ticket as soon as Frankfurt is available
Great News!
Hoping the Frankfurt DC will route through Telia and thus provide good connection via Russia to the nothern part of China, too!
Why doesn’t Linode open a datacenter in Vietnam? Renting a high quality VPS is so expensive in my country.
Tokyo please 😉
Thanks
I’m sure, several of your Tokyo customers would move to Singapore once it’s operational. So you might not want to invest in Japan for the expansion.
Brazil soon please!
I like this service very much.
Can you expand DC to South Korea? This will be stabler than Tokyo.
Im waiting your new DC on Singapore.
Waiting for Singapore datacenter. My curent VPS nearly offline.
Come on Singapore, launch!!!
singapore….. come on!!!
It is good to hear that Singapore Datacenter will be available soon. Good job Linode!
Waiting for Singapore DC
Waiting for Tokyo Data Center!
Any ETA on the Frankfurt DC ? Eagerly awaiting the expansion.
Just added some pictures on Facebook of our new Cisco ASR9000 routers.
Hi @caker,
Any ETA we can launch SG instance? Have customer that waiting migrate their SG based server. Thanks.
Waiting for 2nd Tokyo datacenter ~
Perhaps set up a mail notification list so we can be notified when the SG server is up? Looking forward to it.
Waiting for Singapore DC!
Any ETA on the Singapore DC. Waiting!
Looking forward to the second Tokyo DC, hope it to have better connections with Chinese ISPs, including China Telecom, especially during daily peak hours.
Waiting for Singapore DC, any update on that?
Will the Frankfurt datacenter be available in May?
We are a German startup, who wants to lunch on 1st June and would prefer Linode over your closest competitior, who launched a German datacenter today. But we need some hosting at the end of May.
\w/aiting for Singapore DC, newest, fastest.
I think you should consider a new location in Taiwan to make Linode more outstanding. Why Google chose Taiwan in their recent expansion in Asia?
Second vote for Brazil
Waiting for Singapore DC
Hi Linode Team,
Any information update about Frankfurt?
Regards from Serbia.
We need the second Tokyo datacenter.
Soooo keen to see the SG datacentre open up – although right now I am still seeing 250ms pings to speedtest.singapore.linode.com, while I get sub-200ms pings to fremont. Hope there are interconnect optimisations still to be made. Of course, an aussie DC would be even better, but would be surprised if the math worked out on that one!
(04/23/2015) Singapore DC – There’s been no news so far.
From Melbourne I get 100ms speedtest.singapore.linode.com and 180ms speedtest.fremont.linode.com. Singapore going to be a great addition to the Linode stable.
I also just signed up because my friend has been running an instance in Tokyo and I was totally sold. And then I realized Tokyo is sold out only after I have already signed up and added funds to the account.
#soopersadface
Waiting for Singapore DC!!
A datacenter in South America would be awesome, any plans for that?
Any update about Tokyo dc expansion? I’m waiting for that.
The question is who will be first to Australia. Linode or Digital Ocean?
Do your Japan servers care about DMCA? They are overseas.
What is going on with Tokyo expansion? The Tokyo DC is still about 6-9 times faster for data transfers in Japan than the SG DC. Very disappointing.
Any update about Tokyo dc expansion? I’m waiting for that.
Really need that Tokyo option. Just tried SG and it was terrible (from Thailand). Basically could not get any work done at all over ssh.
Tokyo please.
+1 for Tokyo expansion…
I second the request for the linode in Southamerica, do you have an ETA?
Thanks in advance,
Same here, need Tokyo VPS.
Great job Linode. Great expansions!
Please inform me when Tokyo DC becomes available.
+1 for South Korea!
Third vote for Brazil!
When it is avaliable Tokyo DC? Please informe me, THANK YOU!
Another vote for Australia :D.
Singapore is currently slower then US 😀
Singapore DC could not replace Japanese one. Especially for Japanese & Korean clients. So it would be nice to get one of these locations asap
Waiting for Tokyo DC!!!!!
A thousand votes for Linode Brazil 😉
If possible, South America++
Please implement a data centre in Canada!
I have two name-servers hosted with you and would love to move the rest of my business to you as well if only you had hosting in Canada.
Speedtest from China Telecom shows that Singapore DC is as slow as US DC (ping >240ms). This is actually a problem. Japan DC is excellent here (ping <80ms).
We are expecting more Japan DCs, or faster Singapore DC. Come on, linoders!
I’m waiting for the 2nd Japan DC. Please do it quickly.
Please add a South America datacenter!!! Argentina preferred.
Wait for South Korea or Japan.
Waiting for Tokyo DC for a long long time …
still Waiting for Tokyo DC!!!!!
Hello,
It has been more than a year since the announcement of possible DC expansions in some regions, but we are still waiting for Tokyo…
Could you please share any news about near future plans?
Thanks
I just signed up and then cancelled my subscription because I didn’t notice Tokyo datacenter was “sold out”. It’s been over a year since the above announcement- any ETA on rollout in Tokyo? There’s obviously demand 🙂
Please provide another datacenter option in Japan and/or Korea.
For the greater China region, Hong Kong centers are usually much faster than Tokyo and Singapore ones.
Really looking forward to Linode in Hong Kong.
Been waiting for Tokyo or Korea for so long. Now it’s 1.5 year after expansion plan was announced. Seems a very difficult job to add datacenter in Tokyo?
Esp Brisbane.
Hey guys, any plan on bringing a Canadian linnode? Montréal or Toronto would be appreciated 😀
Hi,
Do you have any plans for South American Datacenter, like São Paulo?
Would be great for Brazilian users of cloud hosting.
Bests,
Melhor Hospedagem team
Equinix Tokyo facilities worth considering, please check it out, if your current provider cant provide expansion options…
Equinix TY2 has lots of networks : https://www.peeringdb.com/fac/452
With the Bit-isle acquisition, Equinix now has three other locations – TY6, TY7 and TY8 – in the same campus, offering new capacity for customers who seek low-latency connections to the network providers in Equinix TY2.
For your information…
The ping of Singapore server is slow as US ones, but I cannot sign up the sold out Tokyo server.. Hope Australia servers be introduced soon.
Linode no Brasil…..Seria um sonho..!
I hope South Korea, too.
What about Brazil/Sao Paulo? ?
Hi Joao!
We’ve had a few requests for a data center in Brazil, and this location is on our radar. I’ve included your request on our internal tracker, and we’ll be sure to post here on the blog with any updates we may have!
Wow! Thanks, Regina! Can’t wait for it ??
+1!
+1
Thanks for your interest. We’ve added your +1s to our tracker as well.
We currently use 10% of our cloud in Linode. The 90% that remains on AWS/Google are just waiting for you guys to come to Sao Paulo, or anywhere in South America.
Very well! Does a prediction already exist?
+1 Brazil/Sao Paulo
Brazil/Sao Paulo please 🙂
Aws recently started billing as our local currency BRL. It would be interesting to have you here too.
Hey there Hélio – thanks for the feedback. Both billing in local currencies, and having a South America data center are things we’ve been looking into. I’ve gone ahead and added your request for each to our internal feature tracker. Any announcements for these would be posted right here on the blog.
Brasil with “s”, with “z”, it doesn’t matter. It is important to have Linode closer, please!
Thanks for your interest, Fernando! We’ll make a note of your request and will keep it in mind when we consider new data center locations.
Hey guys, are you planning to have a data center in Brazil or at least South America?
I’m looking to move from Vultr US data center as the ping is too high (~120ms, while having a data center in Brazil would make it like ~20-30ms), but no host provider is mature enough in South America, besides AWS or GCP or Azure, but both are totally different level of customer service and prices, so they don’t make any sense for SMBs.
Linode in Brazil would be perfect for a bunch of countries nearby like Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil… ~500 millions of customers and businesses here waiting for this dream become true! LOL
Please take this in consideration for your next move. Thanks
Hey Breno!
Thanks for the in-depth comment. We’ve received requests for a Brazil data center in the past and this is something that’s under consideration. We don’t have an ETA just yet, but we’ll make sure to create a blog post when we have more information. I’ve also included your request on our internal tracker.
Just another vote for Brazil. Sao Paulo or Curitiba would be great. Even Belo Horizonte or Florianopolis.
+1 For Brazil, Sao Paulo.
