Get ready for what’s next in data protection: Join the waitlist for the x360Recover Australian data centre

For managed service providers (MSPs) across Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region, data protection is no longer just a technical requirement. It is a business imperative tied directly to trust, compliance, and long-term growth. As client expectations rise and regulatory pressures continue to evolve, where your data lives matters just as much as how it is protected.

That is why ConnectWise is preparing to launch a new Australian data centre for Axcient™, a ConnectWise company. The x360Recover data centre is designed to bring data sovereignty, performance, and resilience closer to home. This new regional investment represents a major step forward for MSPs who want to deliver enterprise-grade business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) while meeting local requirements.

Now is the time to secure your place on the first-access list. MSPs who join the waitlist will be first in line to access the new environment and take advantage of everything it offers.

Why data sovereignty matters for Australian MSPs

For many MSPs operating in Australia, data sovereignty is a necessity, not just a preference. Customers want assurance that their data is stored within the region and handled according to local standards. In regulated industries, this is often a requirement.

The upcoming Australian data centre is built with these realities in mind. It enables MSPs to:

• Keep backup data within the region to support sovereignty requirements
• Reduce latency and improve recovery performance for local workloads
• Strengthen client confidence with a clear regional data strategy
• Align with compliance expectations without complex workarounds

This is especially important as more businesses evaluate their vendors not only on features, but also on where and how their data is stored.

Built on the proven power of x360Recover 

x360Recover has earned its place as a trusted BCDR solution for MSPs worldwide. It combines chain-free backup architecture, rapid recovery capabilities, and flexible deployment options into a single solution. 

With the Australian data centre, MSPs will be able to leverage the same core strengths, now with a regional footprint. Key capabilities include:

• Direct-to-cloud backup for simplified deployment
• Appliance-based backup for local speed and control
• Bring your own device flexibility to meet hardware needs
• Rapid virtualisation for business continuity scenarios
• Secure cloud storage with scalable retention

Partners can deploy using the approach that best fits their clients, whether that is cloud-first, hybrid, or appliance-based.

A smooth path to regional deployment 

One of the biggest concerns when adopting new infrastructure is the transition. ConnectWise has designed a path that allows MSPs to get started early while preparing for the full launch of the Australian facility.

MSPs who join early will be provisioned in a dedicated environment that is designed to function like an Australian data centre. Once the physical site is ready, workloads will be migrated with minimal disruption and without requiring partner intervention.

This approach allows you to:

• Start onboarding clients right away
• Build pipeline and revenue ahead of the full launch
• Avoid waiting on infrastructure timelines
• Transition seamlessly when the regional site goes live

The goal is simple. You should be able to focus on growing your business, not managing complex migrations.

Designed for real-world MSP needs

Every region has its own unique challenges, and Australia is no exception. From geographic distribution to cost sensitivity and compliance requirements, MSPs need solutions that reflect their reality. The Australian data centre initiative takes these factors into account.

Flexible deployment options 

Partners can choose how they deploy based on client needs: 

• Direct-to-cloud for simplicity and speed
• Appliance-based deployments for local performance
• BYOD support to leverage existing or locally sourced hardware  

This flexibility is especially important in markets where hardware logistics can be complex or costly.

Global support with regional alignment 

Support remains consistent with the global x360Recover experience, including 24/7 coverage. Teams aligned to Australian time zones help ensure that assistance is available when you need it.

Integration with broader data protection strategy

For MSPs delivering comprehensive protection, x360Recover can be paired with ConnectWise Cloud Backup™ for Microsoft 365. This combination helps meet regional data requirements while expanding protection across workloads.

A competitive edge in a crowded market

The BCDR space is highly competitive, with vendors such as Datto, Veeam, Cove, and Acronis all vying for attention.

What sets ConnectWise apart is the combination of integrated tools across the ConnectWise ecosystem, flexible deployment models, and a strong focus on partner success and enablement.

Adding a regional Australian data centre strengthens this position even further. It allows MSPs to differentiate not just on technology, but on geography, compliance, and customer trust. 

Why join the waitlist now 

You could wait until the data centre is fully launched, but early adopters will be in a much stronger position.

Joining the waitlist gives you:

• Early access: Be among the first to onboard clients into the new environment and start building your regional footprint
• Strategic advantage: Position your business as a leader in data sovereignty and regional compliance before competitors catch up
• Better planning: Align your sales, marketing, and technical teams ahead of launch so you can move quickly when availability opens
• Revenue opportunities: Start conversations with prospects now, using the upcoming Australian data centre as a catalyst for new deals.

How to prepare your business

If you are considering joining the waitlist, now is the perfect time to prepare your team and your go-to-market strategy. Here are a few steps to consider:

• Identify clients with data sovereignty or compliance requirements
• Review your current BCDR offerings and positioning
• Train your team on x360Recover capabilities and use cases
• Build messaging around regional data protection
• Plan campaigns that highlight the upcoming Australian data centre

Many successful MSPs lead with use cases rather than features. Focus on outcomes such as reduced risk, faster recovery, and local data residency. 

FAQs: Addressing common questions

As with any new initiative, MSPs often have questions about how things will work.

Will there be disruptions during migration?

The transition to the Australian data centre is designed to minimise impact. Migration activities will be handled by ConnectWise teams, with downtime expected to be limited and communicated in advance.

Do I need to change my deployment model?

No. You can continue to use the deployment model that works best for your clients, including cloud, appliance, or hybrid approaches.

What about compliance? 

The solution will align with the same compliance standards currently supported, with the physical data centre meeting its own facility-level requirements.

Can I start before the full launch? 

Yes. Early access environments allow you to begin onboarding clients and building your practice ahead of the full rollout.

The bigger picture: Investing in the region

This launch is more than just a new location. It reflects a broader commitment to supporting MSPs in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region.

From localised resources to regional sales support and tailored enablement, the goal is to help partners succeed in their specific markets.

As the demand for secure, compliant, and high-performance data protection continues to grow, having a regional presence becomes a critical advantage.
