Office 365 Hosting Coming To Australia

I was interested to read that Microsoft will be expanding their Windows Azure Service into Australia.

If Microsoft are creating data centres for Windows Azure it seems likely that they will offer Office 365 as well.

This could mean faster data transfer for customers in New Zealand, and may allay user data sovereignty fears.

The speed of Office 365 in New Zealand seems fine to me, it will be interesting to see if an Australian based service would be for my Auckland, New Zealand SharePoint clients. ​


Update March 2015: Australia have gone live with Office 365 hosting in Australia. "Existing Office 365 customers with services hosted in its Asia Pacific region in Singapore will be automatically moved to Australia unless they opt-out. Customers will be given six weeks advance notice of their move date, which will occur out of business hours."​
