In March, I ran on my blog a slide that showed Microsoft’s datacenter expansion plans for its Online Services, the team that oversees Microsoft’s hosted cloud offerings like the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS).
On April 14, Microsoft announced the global expansion plans indicated by this slide. BPOS commercial availability is being added in April for 17 new markets. As of today, Microsoft is adding support for the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Luxembourg, Poland and Romania. Later in April, Microsoft is adding: Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico and Trinidad & Tobago.
Countries that were on the November BPOS roadmap slide but are not part of this announcement: Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan. (South Korea and Taiwan were mentioned as countries which would be added to the line up in July 2010, according to the November roadmap). Countries for which BPOS support was announced today that weren’t mentioned in November included Cyprus, Luxembourg, Costa Rica, Peru and Trinidad & Tobago.
