Render doubles APAC, Eastern U.S. global footprints

KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 -- Render, the Zero DevOps Cloud Platform, announced it has expanded into new regions and now offers local hosting for U.S. East in Ohio and for APAC in Singapore.

According to a statement, with these new locations, Render has doubled its global footprint, gaining a competitive advantage over other key players in the space, including Heroku.

“Render now offers powerful, secure hosting and a superior developer experience at a fraction of the cost for customers in APAC,” said Chief Executive Officer of Render, Anurag Goel.

“This represents a significant milestone not just for Render, but for all developers in Asia who have previously had to choose between time consuming and expensive options like the Big 3 Cloud Providers, or PaaS alternatives without a local presence, which degrades end user experience.

“Additionally, our new US region in Ohio further supports the rapidly accelerating adoption of Render in the U.S., and makes it seamless for customers to migrate from Heroku.”

The APAC region in particular has been traditionally underserved by cloud PaaS solutions, making Render’s expansion into the area highly anticipated by current customers and prospective customers alike.

Render’s presence in Singapore will reduce network latency in the region by almost 90 per cent, allowing customers to run their workloads nearer to their audiences and giving end users the best possible experience interacting with products hosted on Render.

Additionally, developers in APAC can now avoid overly complex cloud offerings and wasteful DevOps spending and can build better products faster.

Render offers instant setup and usability, along with the customisation and flexibility of containerisation technology that enables teams to focus on product development instead of server management.

Render’s expansion into U.S. East will reduce network latency for users in the region by up to 25 per cent. Additionally, Heroku’s U.S. services are hosted in U.S. East, making it easy for Heroku customers to migrate to Render without having to switch the hosting region of their applications.
