Linode Cloud Asia-Pacific!

September 19, 2011 1:28 pm

Today we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Linode Cloud services in Tokyo, Japan!

This new facility will service the growing Asia Pacific demand for low-latency cloud services, and joins the growing number of options for your Linode Cloud deployments. The Tokyo facility delivers all of our services including Linodes, Managed Backups, and NodeBalancers.

There is no premium for placing Linode instances in our Asia Pacific location. Pricing for this location is the same as our other facilities.

You can use our speedtest page to test latency and download speeds from Tokyo or any of our six facilities. We can easily migrate your Linodes from one facility to another — just open a support ticket and we’ll take care of you.

    Gaahh amazing! Waited this for so long :)

  6. Bill September 19th, 2011 at 2:17 pm

    What does the latency look like from a linode in NJ to one in Tokyo? Could my linodes all be on the same LAN even though they are halfway around the world?

    This is definitely very exciting!

  7. Caleb September 19th, 2011 at 2:17 pm

    Awesome! Takin’ over the world one data-center at a time. :D

  8. Justin September 19th, 2011 at 3:07 pm

    Yesss! Good news! Now we don’t need to find another provider just for Asia

  9. Chris September 19th, 2011 at 3:21 pm

    Excellent news – well done Linode!!

    Now can we have a facility in South Africa?

  10. AgentOfPork September 19th, 2011 at 3:26 pm

    Pretty soon I will run out of bacon-flavoured purple prose to express my utter delight and other fan-boy feelings. I’m still waiting for a data center here in Canuckistan, but it honestly makes me happy to see Linode growing like this. Way to go guys!

  11. gslin September 19th, 2011 at 4:07 pm

    Awesome! It’s really impressive!

  12. Don September 19th, 2011 at 4:56 pm

    I’ve been wanting this for years. It’s like Christmas in September.

  13. Jeremy September 19th, 2011 at 5:31 pm

    According to this page IPv6 is not yet supported in Tokyo.

  14. Andrew September 19th, 2011 at 5:44 pm

    Nice – though I don’t currently need a Linode in the new location, I’m pleased to see this being offered.

  15. Shota September 19th, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    Great!!!! It’s very happy for me!

  16. James September 19th, 2011 at 8:10 pm

    If we move several nodes from one facility to tokyo (our company is located near tokyo), will our current ips (both external and internal) be kept?

  17. Charles Wang September 19th, 2011 at 8:21 pm

    Applaud!

  18. citydog September 19th, 2011 at 8:22 pm

    Awesome news. Been waiting for this for a long time. Nice one guys.

  21. fisherman September 19th, 2011 at 9:30 pm

    bad news, seems like the ip address of tokyo1.linode.com is blocked in China mainland, I couldn’t access this test address through China Unicom’s line.

  22. hoofei September 19th, 2011 at 10:12 pm

    @fisherman
    No problem in Shangrao, Jiangxi. China Telecom.

  23. ruo September 19th, 2011 at 10:13 pm

    Woo, Linode is the best. and the china tel from guangdong is OK. The ping to tokyo1.linode.com is just 79-80ms.

  24. zhaoke September 19th, 2011 at 10:26 pm

    Congrats! big news!

  25. Kris Khaira September 19th, 2011 at 10:37 pm

    Tokyo gets better latency to Taiwan, than USA.

    Good job Linode!!

  27. Hassan Roohbakhsh September 19th, 2011 at 11:29 pm

  29. Insert diskette in drive B: strike any key when ready September 20th, 2011 at 1:10 am

    I’ve always wanted a v4 address inside apnic region. i been itching to add another linode too. perfect timing.

  30. KKovacs September 20th, 2011 at 1:22 am

    Woot, time to set foot in the Middle Kingdom then! :)

  31. Stephen September 20th, 2011 at 3:17 am

    Awesome. Though I wonder how earthquake-resistant it is.

  32. pineapple September 20th, 2011 at 3:47 am

    To fisherman, I can access tokyo1.linode.com in Beijing, maybe it is your network problem

  33. Den September 20th, 2011 at 3:59 am

    Love you!
    Migrating to Tokyo…

  34. renzo September 20th, 2011 at 6:26 am

  40. mimi September 20th, 2011 at 10:22 am

    I Love U,Linode

  41. fisherman September 20th, 2011 at 10:50 am

    Okay.. need to update guys from China.. Just tested again by using China Tietong’s ADSL, Tokyo server is pingable. It might be my company’s network line problem. Cheers!

  42. Timothy September 20th, 2011 at 10:50 am

    That’s great! I love Linode!

  43. Joy September 20th, 2011 at 11:02 am

    Congratulations!

  44. shadowlin September 20th, 2011 at 11:50 am

    The new Tokyo node was great when i tried from China at noon.but the latency grows and the download speed decreases in the evening:<

    the ping result was 60ms and now it is 100ms with 2% packet loss:<
    download speed was 1MB/s(from my 8Mbit/s adsl) and now it is 80KB/s

  45. SaigonNezumi(Kevin) September 20th, 2011 at 1:37 pm

    This is great news since I do most of my development work from Vietnam. Thanks.

  46. Jitendra September 20th, 2011 at 2:08 pm

    Rocking!

    For India, I would have wished this to be Singapore though. Tokyo Vs London is barely 10% faster ping from here.

    Overall a great move. Great going Linode.

    Cheers!

  47. Pete September 20th, 2011 at 7:55 pm

    This is choice. Do feel to keep moving it towards Australia at anytime. The beaches here are great.

  48. Binoj September 20th, 2011 at 8:02 pm

    From Coimbatore, India
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 148.880/151.513/154.747/2.005 ms

  49. Andry Yudianto September 21st, 2011 at 5:32 am

    Great, lower latency from asia … around 100ms :) i hope linode expand more datacenter in asia.

  50. Fabio September 21st, 2011 at 8:12 am

    Very cool!

    Linode rocks!

  51. Guilherme Costa September 21st, 2011 at 4:34 pm

    Looking forward for the Brazilian data center!! Congratulations and keep up with the great job you guys are doing.

  52. MessyCS September 21st, 2011 at 11:54 pm

    Linode is perfect!

  53. Vincent Chung September 22nd, 2011 at 8:38 pm

    Merci! So nice to see your business expanding, Japan is a very important bridge to the SEA region, and is the perfect country to extend support to.

  54. Fred September 24th, 2011 at 9:44 am

  56. hkechoes September 25th, 2011 at 9:59 pm

    I shall check this out tonight!
    but… will further expanding the DC into Hong Kong? I’d die for it :)

  57. ET October 3rd, 2011 at 1:58 pm

    Brilliant!
    Moving my Linode now :D

  58. motok October 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 pm

    Wow, I’d like to move my vm to Tokyo!

  59. peter October 7th, 2011 at 11:07 am

    Just moved from Fremont to Tokyo.

    I feel so much safer now!

  60. edoceo October 9th, 2011 at 1:04 am

    Nodes in every DC looks great on my network maps! Of course, expanded presence in Asia is great. Took about four hours to clone from London

  61. Josh October 9th, 2011 at 11:37 am

    Domo arigato Mr. Roboto!

  62. PJ Brunet October 9th, 2011 at 8:49 pm

  66. mohammad mohiddin January 4th, 2012 at 2:37 am

    it is a great technology
    a lot of features in this virtual technology.
    everybody moves cloud platform to big and middle level companies.

  67. 大头龙仔 January 4th, 2012 at 8:37 pm

    Well done, I have changed to Tokyo node.
    It runs well now.
