具体信息:
Dear Customer,
New Windows Azure Japan Geo, including Japan East and Japan West regions, is now generally available.
Today we are announcing the general availability of two new Windows Azure regions: Japan East in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Saitama Prefecture) and Japan West (Osaka Prefecture). These regions were brought online to meet growing demand for Windows Azure services and help our customers satisfy performance needs.
The new regions provide Japanese customers the ability to meet data residency goals and improve data durability in case of major disaster by deploying to two geographically isolated regions. The Japan East region geo-replicates to Japan West and the Japan West region geo-replicates to Japan East, ensuring copies of data are stored at least 250 miles apart.
The Windows Azure website has been updated to provide detailed information on service availability and pricing for the new regions. While prices for Windows Azure services are generally the same across regions, prices for Virtual Machines, Cloud Services, SQL Database and Web Sites are specific to the Japan East and Japan West regions to better reflect market conditions. Please note SQL Database and Web Sites are available at promotional prices through May 31, 2014.
The new Japan Geo represents our continued commitment to better serve customers through geographic expansion, including our previously announced plans for expansion in Brazil, Australia, and China through our partner 21Vianet.
For more information on Japan Geo general availability, please read the Official Microsoft Blog.
Thank you,
Windows Azure Team
