Linode Cloud Asia-Pacific!
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.

Looking forward for the Brazilian data center!! Congratulations and keep up with the great job you guys are doing.
Linode is perfect!
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.
Sweet!!
That is awesome news!

this is good..
i hope can have a server in Singapore and that will be great..
I shall check this out tonight!
but… will further expanding the DC into Hong Kong? I’d die for it
Brilliant!
Moving my Linode now 😀
Wow, I’d like to move my vm to Tokyo!
Just moved from Fremont to Tokyo.
I feel so much safer now!
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
Domo arigato Mr. Roboto!
Congrats.
Merci beaucoup!!! Need DC in Hongkong +1!!!!
I shall check this out tonight!
but… will further expanding the DC into Hong Kong? I’d die for it
the service is becoming better and better!great
it is a great technology
a lot of features in this virtual technology.
everybody moves cloud platform to big and middle level companies.
Well done, I have changed to Tokyo node.
It runs well now.
i have interesting of using it
and i have tried the download speed at tokyo
about 700+ KB/s
its wonderful, but there is still 2 problem:
1, how can i test the ssh speed? people like me prefer to login to the server and coding there. we care about the ssh speed
2, i noticed that the download speed for dallas at my locations is quite slow, about 30+k/s , so if i want to setup a service for global(especially north america and eurapean), which facility should i choose? and if i bought two vps for service to japan and north america, do you have any special link for my syncing data between my vps?
@Fred I am in Singapore too. But Japan is still international traffic and decidedly jittery on traffic signal ISPs.
The downloads might work because of bandwidth at say 2-10Mbps but the response time essential for websites may be too low. please share your experience.
thank you
Congratulations on this expansion to Asia.
HOWEVER, here is a shameless plug for a new service delivered in Canada (Canuckistan as mentioned by AgentOfPork earlier). We get requests from Canada that are like those from the EU (Thank You for service in Great Brittan) where government agencies are requiring clinical research data and patient identifying information to be stored in computers under their legal jurisdiction.
Keep up the good work all around but please do the Canuckian thing soon.
I wish Linode expand do Singapore data center..
it would be great..
