Fujitsu announced on 27 November that the company plans to build a new Tier III data center in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, according to a press release by Fujitsu. With an area of around 35,000 square feet, the new data center aims to provide co-location and cloud hosting services to facilitate big data analysis, IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), and storage and recovery services for public and private sectors, especially in Western Canada.
