IBM reported its quarterly earnings this week and while the company\u2019s overall results were once again disappointing<\/a>, cloud revenue was up 15 percent year-over-year and accounted for $3.9 billion in revenue. It\u2019s no surprise then that IBM is doubling down on its cloud strategy<\/a> and to keep its momentum going, the company today announced the launch of four new data centers for its customers.<\/p>\n

These new data centers are located in London, where the company is opening two data centers at the same time, Sydney and San Jose. This brings IBM\u2019s overall data center footprint to 60 across 19 countries. With today\u2019s launches, this includes five in England, four in Australia and 23 in the United States.<\/p>\n

The company notes that it\u2019s the only cloud provider in Australia to offer a full set of IRAP-certified<\/a> solutions for bare metal, private and public cloud services (IRAP is the country\u2019s certification for cloud services providers that want to work with the Australian government). It\u2019s worth noting, though, that AWS, Microsoft and a number of other vendors<\/a> also offer a number of services that have been IRAP-certified.<\/p>\n

While IBM\u2019s announcement doesn\u2019t specifically plug the \u2018Watson<\/a>\u2018 brand, the company notes that these new locations will allow its customers in those regions to get low-latency access to its cognitive services, as well as its blockchain, big data and IoT offerings.<\/p>\n
