Event summary

ConnectWise launched a new Australian data center for x360Recover on August 25, 2026, expanding its business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) options across APAC.
The SOC 2 Type II certified data center aims to reduce latency and address data residency requirements for partners and customers in the region.
x360Recover now offers automated backup integrity testing, direct-to-cloud and appliance-based deployment, and hardware-agnostic deployment options.

The big picture

ConnectWise's expansion of x360Recover in APAC aligns with the growing demand for localized data residency solutions and robust disaster recovery capabilities. As cybersecurity threats and regulatory pressures intensify, the ability to offer compliant, low-latency BCDR services will be critical for MSPs and IT teams managing complex customer environments. The move also underscores the strategic importance of integrating backup and recovery solutions with broader cybersecurity frameworks.
