After launching data centers in <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/blog\/celebrating-second-anniversary-upcloud-singapore\">Singapore<\/a> and Amsterdam, our never-ending world tour takes us back to Finland. Today, we are excited to announce that the year 2018 is starting on a high note with the opening of <strong>FI-HEL2<\/strong>, a brand new data centre in Helsinki!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/signup.upcloud.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/Upcloud-cta-2-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"Call to action regarding signing up for UpCloud's free trial.\" class=\"wp-image-10919\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FI-HEL2<\/strong> provides the same extraordinary performance our users have come to expect with the same <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/pricing\">pricing<\/a> as our existing data centre in Helsinki. Having a second data centre in one zone provides new opportunities. A common use case is to increase reliability and performance using highly available load balancers. <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/resources\/tutorials\/haproxy-load-balancer-ubuntu\">Check out our tutorial<\/a> on how to achieve that with HAProxy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will find that FI-HEL2 is already available at your control panel when deploying a new cloud server or <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/resources\/tutorials\/custom-server-images\">imaging an existing one<\/a>. Alternatively, you always have the option to deploy servers directly with <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/resources\/tutorials\/getting-started-upcloud-api\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our API<\/a> or by using one of the many supported open source API client libraries available on <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/UpCloudLtd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The world tour continues\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team has grown a lot this year with a ton of great talent and <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/careers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we are hiring<\/a>! Make sure to check out our open positions if you&#8217;d like to be part of building the world&#8217;s fastest cloud. We are also already looking to open up data centres in more regions, so let us know where we should go next by tweeting us at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UpCloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@UpCloud<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Helsinki data center FI-HEL2 Helsinki data center is here.
