Ping Identity launches data center on AWS Singapore

This expansion enhances Ping Identity’s ability to provide localized, high-performance identity and access management solutions to businesses across the Asia Pacific region.

Ping Identity has launched its new data center in Singapore, hosted on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. The expansion enhances Ping Identity’s ability to provide localized, high-performance identity and access management (IAM) solutions to businesses across the Asia Pacific region.

With the launch on AWS Singapore, Ping Identity will now be able to run workloads and securely store content in Singapore. This further supports its growing local customer base with even lower latency and also caters to regulatory requirements of some customers.

According to Jasie Fon, Regional Vice President, Asia at Ping Identity, the launch signifies the cybersecurity vendor’s commitment to supporting the digital transformation of businesses in Asia by addressing the growing demand for secure, scalable digital identity solutions.

“We now offer customers faster, simplified access to our full suite of IAM services, better protecting businesses from threats like fraud while maintaining trust and compliance,” said Fon.

Fon also highlighted that this strategic move provides significant benefits to mid-sized and large enterprises in sectors such as tech and hospitality, retail and e-commerce, healthcare and life sciences, midmarket financial services, and manufacturing and energy.

These organizations, seeking simple and scalable workforce and customer identity solutions, will benefit from enhanced performance through lower latency and faster response times thanks to local data processing. They will also be assured that identity data is hosted within the region, addressing data residency and compliance concerns.

At the same time, customers will have increased trust with enterprise-grade security and scalability, as well as the data residing in a trusted, localized environment. Customers will also experience simplified deployment through an easier and faster implementation of full-stack IAM solutions, enabling quicker time-to-value.

AWS Regions consist of Availability Zones that place infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. Availability Zones are located far enough from each other to support customers’ business continuity, but near enough to provide low latency for high availability applications that use multiple Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected through redundant, ultra-low-latency networks.
