SYDNEY, Nov. 06, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In response to increased demand from enterprises, partners and SaaS providers in Australia, award-winning global cloud service provider, iland, today expanded its geographic reach by adding a new cloud region in Melbourne. The new region will support iland's full suite of secure cloud services, built on top of iland's Secure Cloud Platform, including Infrastructure as a Service, Disaster Recovery as a Service and Backup as a Service.
