Tableau launches in two new regions: Japan and Australia

Tableau Software has extended cloud capability for Asia Pacific customers with new regions in Japan and Australia.

As of now, the two new regions will have access to Tableau’s fully hosted SaaS offering, Tableau Online. Customers will receive enhanced performance and new choices in data locality.

Located in Tokyo, Japan, and Sydney, Australia, these are Tableau’s first regions in APJ and fifth worldwide including the United States and Europe, serving cloud-based analytics to new and existing Tableau Online customers across APJ.

The launch of the new regions in APJ helps reduce the distance between a customer’s data and their analytics service, the company states.

The strategic placement in APJ reduces latency, with shorter load times and faster extract refreshes for customers, the company states.

In line with Tableau’s commitment to strengthen data protection for all customers, the regions make it easier for customers to comply with regional data residency regulations, Tableau states.

Tableau Software country manager Australia and New Zealand Gavin Jones says, “As analytics becomes ubiquitous, customers need to access data wherever they are located and at their own moment of need.

“In today’s climate where the way we work and how businesses operate is dramatically changing, cloud analytics increases speed-to-value and allows resources to be redirected to focus on improving customer experience without the distraction of managing infrastructure.

“We are excited to launch our new region in Sydney and believe that this will now provide the ultimate cloud analytics experience for Australian businesses.”
