ManageEngine has opened two new ISO 27001-certified data centers in the EU — one in Amsterdam, Netherlands and another in Dublin, Ireland. This announcement is a part of its efforts to help IT teams move operations seamlessly to the cloud while adhering to the data privacy and security standards of the EU.
With cloud adoption in Europe on a trend of high growth, software vendors are taking steps to protect customer data. To remove security concerns associated with the cloud, the new ManageEngine data centers are certified Service Organization Controls (SOC) Type II and reinforce the company’s efforts to facilitate cloud adoption by IT teams in the EU.
“Our European customers are subject to some of the world’s strictest data privacy regulations, which apply to both on-premises and cloud applications,” said Rajesh Ganesan, director of product management at ManageEngine. “Our on-premises apps have maintained the highest degree of data privacy and regulatory compliance for years. With our new EU data centers, we’ve set the same standard for our cloud apps and eliminated the privacy barrier to adopting our cloud-based IT management solutions.”
Alexander Fillips, head of enterprise management at MicroNova, a long-time partner of ManageEngine in Germany said, “Offering its cloud suite from data centers within Europe is a great move that ensures privacy and compliance to local regulations. Customers in this region who have been waiting to adopt ManageEngine’s cloud offerings can now do so with confidence.”
