    There is no official announcement from DigitalOcean yet, but they registered a new ASN last month.

    To celebrate the TOR1 launch with our friends in Canada, we'll be hosting events throughout October. Save the dates for your cities: Toronto (Oct 13-15), Vancouver (Oct 20-22), and Montreal (Oct 28 - 29)

    I'll actually be in town during those dates. @Jar you heading north to party?

    Nah I've had my share of traveling for a few months. You should totally go and meet up with the team though. I can't think of one person I work with that I wouldn't call awesome :)

    I'd wait a while for it to stabilize, no doubt everyone is benching the hell out of the nodes.

    This is awesome! Thanks for making this happen DO! Is this new DC safe from Patriot Act data requests? I seem to recall that for certain applications and in certain provinces that there needed to be some sort of organization/company requirements to comply. Is the fact that it's on Canadian soil enough to satisfy these privacy requirements?

  • AmitzAmitz Member

    Wow. Nice speeds in that download test...

    DO is a US company, so none of their DCs are safe.

    Got this by email

    We are excited to announce that our newest datacenter region, TOR1, located in Toronto, has officially launched!

    Our first Canadian datacenter will include our full range of features, including metadata, private networking, and IPv6. The datacenter comes equipped with 40GbE networking and the latest SSDs.

    As we continue to grow, we will open up new datacenter regions around the world to provide our customers with great options for reliability, latency, and availability.
    Deploy to TOR1

    Happy Coding,
    Team DigitalOcean

    The Patriot Act (and other similar US legislation) extends to anywhere a US corporation has a presence. So the Digital Ocean clouds in Europe, Asia and Canada would fall under US law for Patriot, Privacy, DMCA, etc, etc.

    As a non US Corp, our non US locations are specifically not under any of those.

    One has to wonder how much VC money DO has left at this point.
