Datto Opening Australian HQs in Sydney

Datto, Inc. opened an Australian HQs in Sydney to help meet the increasing demand for its data protection platform.

MSPs and VARs throughout Australia and New Zealand can partner with Datto to protect their customers’ data on-prem, in the cloud, or anywhere in between.

Following Datto’s expansion into Europe, which resulted in growth, the company is developing a greater presence in Australia and New Zealand and has been building up its customer base throughout the area. With more than 20 partners, Datto is predicted to have more than 100 partners in the region by the end of this year.

Datto’s Australian office is located in Sydney’s Central Business District, the main economic center for the AsiaPac region and home to some of Australia’s largest technology companies. Datto has a data center nearby in Alexandria, Australia.

Additionally, James Bergl was appointed Datto’s ANZ regional manager. He brings a wealth of experience to Datto, having worked with MSPs in the UK, Africa and Middle East before arriving in Australia two years ago. Prior to Datto, Bergl was a regional sales manager with N-able Technologies, Inc. where he led efforts to sell to and support a client base across ANZ and Asia.

According to Bergl, “The Australian IT community is thriving, and businesses are increasingly focused on improving their data infrastructure with an emphasis on cloud adoption. But no matter where data lives, it needs protection. Australian companies can now rely on Datto to be up and running instantly after a natural or man-made disaster.“

“Prior to working with Datto, Addictive Technology Solutions was dealing with multiple vendors and products to ensure we had adequate backup solutions for our clients,” said Robert Marsden, director, Addictive Technology Solutions Pty Ltd. “Now that we’ve implemented Datto, we can rely on one vendor for a simple and seamless restore process. Datto is the first product I’ve worked with that can recover a client’s environment instantly, which gives our customers complete peace of mind.“

“Datto is meeting a crucial need for companies around the world – keeping their businesses running no matter what,” said Austin McChord, founder and CEO, Datto. “We’re looking forward to building our presence throughout the AsiaPac region, supporting our partners and helping them continuously succeed. Our 160+ PB global cloud includes a data center local to Australia, so our partners and customers there will benefit from a fast, local connection to the Datto cloud.“

As Datto establishes its Australian roots, the company will host a series of roadshow events across several cities. During the event series, Datto will offer educational content and best practices for solution providers in addition to a look at Datto’s solutions.
