When we're done, we'll have 23 global data centers and nearly 70% more network capacity. The first three of the nine facilities went online last week: Sydney, Atlanta and Seattle. You can read more about each location here:

For those of you managing traffic from Australia, our expansion will have a big impact for your customers. We continue to get positive reports from visitors in Australia about the big reductions in website loading time, including this one from a vBulletin technician:
"24ms average ping times, nice! That's nearly 1/9th the speed of what I usually get in Australia, so 9x times faster ping times."
