This new region will be operational in the third quarter of 2024 and be deployed in Avalon 3, the newest green and hyperconnected data centre in Retelit’s Avalon Campus.
Wasabi is the fastest-growing pure play cloud storage vendor in the market today and has been rapidly expanding across Europe since 2019.
