The Aspera on Cloud service continues to expand as it introduces regional availability in AWS' US-East-2(Ohio) and Google's US-West1(Oregon)!

As expansion in AI and cloud services continues, AWS has been actively encouraging customers to use US-East-2 by investing more than $23 billion since 2016 in Ohio's cloud infrastructure. This region not only serves as a strategic hub, being the midpoint between the Western and Eastern coasts of the U.S, but also a cost-effective region with impressive energy efficiency (PUE of 1.12).

With a focus on sustainability, Google encourages customers to choose regions powered by renewable energy, US-West1 being a great example with a high carbon-free energy percentage while still maintaining the lowest standard storage costs ($0.02 per GB/month) in North America. 

If you're a user in or near these regions, take advantage of these servers for improved performance, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. As a bonus, leveraging these locations can also help with compliance and auditability as well as meeting contractual obligations as it relates to where data is kept.
